Los Lobos: Tin Can Trust
"Some bands make more sense as time goes on. Los Lobos fused Chicano East L.A. with Middle American rock long before such artists as Los Lonely Boys, Ozomatli, Ricky Martin, and Shakira opened up the radio border. Nearly 35 years after their debut single (a charity release for the United Farm Workers of America), Los Lobos have made an album that recalls the genre-bending of the '92 classic 'Kiko.' The five-piece vets bounce effortlessly from blues to Grateful Dead-esque stretches to mariachi romps. 'Tin Can Trust' is an album that could only be made in America. It's also the story of America, full of sounds that come from juke joints, barrios, street corners, and after-hours jams where the food, language, and stories all get mashed up into one brilliant stew. Viva Los Lobos" (Shawn Amos, "PLAY > SKIP," Huffington Post, 8/3/10).
