Mixed feelings

(3 out of 5 stars)

"This is the third Los Lobos CD I purchase sung in Spanish and composed

of the music they are so brilliant in: traditional Mexican folk music!

Their "Del Este de Los Angeles" was the first all Spanish debut and

is still the best one by far, then we had "La Pistola y El Corazón"

also classified with 5 stars although being "too short" (only 9 songs,

and now this third one called "Acoustic en Vivo". The first 3 songs

are absolutely fantastic with that wonderful "jarocho" like guitar

pickin' which they do even better than traditional Mexican groups and

which they repeat with "La Guacamaya" and "La Pistola y el Corazón".

This certainly would have been another 5 star CD but they suddenly

commit a mistake, to my opinion, by singing another 3 typical traditional

Mexican songs....in English! Even if you're not familiar with this music,

singing Mexican songs in English hurts the hearing. You immediatley

notice something's wrong. Can you imagine a typical blues, country or

American folk song in another language? Horrifying ain't it? Well

that's the case here: totally out of place. Unfortunately the reason

why, for the first time, I can't give a Los Lobos CD 5 stars. Besides

that, the presentation is inexistant. Just a black paper inside with

no information! Who are the songwriters? When were these songs recorded?

A real pity."

"This is an accoustic live album. I saw Los Lobos earlier this year(07)in Baltimore. This album reminds me of that concert in both style and content. Lots of hispanic accoustic instruments in a traditional Mexican style. So this is a bit different than their more rock based albums. Most songs are in Espanol. An excellent CD begining to end."
