CD ReviewsTOUGH TIMES.......GREAT MUSIC dickydo | Warwick, RI USA | 08/03/2010 (5 out of 5 stars) "Is it out of the question to suggest this is the greatest American Rock N Roll band of all time? Not as far fetched as you may think. If the criteria is longevity, consistency, and superior quality, is there another band that can lay claim? For my money this is their best work since the ambitious and highly original "Kiko" in the 90's. This is topical, powerful material, the title track and "Burn It Down" are somber laments about today's times, where people simply can't make ends meet. These downtrodden stories are complemented by great music, played by a band at the peak of it's collective powers. The Hidalgo-Perez songwriting team is as good as it gets, telling compelling stories without being preachy. The music itself is spot on throughout, with the only misstep being the collobaration with Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter, the hippie pathos of "All My Bridges Burning" is out of line with the tenor of the rest of the songs. There's still some fun to had, Cesar Rojas Spanish language gems rock full bore, as does the instrumental "Do The Murray" The cover of the Dead's "West L.A. Fadeaway sounds like Garcia and company without the sloppiness. Los Lobos, America's greatest rock band of ALL TIME!! This disc just might cement that legacy." Trust Los Lobos to deliver quality rock and roll.. G. E. Harrison | Cheltenham | 08/03/2010 (5 out of 5 stars) "I came late to Los Lobos's previous album "The town and the city" but I was absolutely amazed at how wonderful it was - a true modern rock classic. Four years later and this record carries on with a similar layered production, fabulous guitar playing and amazing vocals - although the lyrics aren't quite as focused and conceptual. Again the influences are apparent - rock, blues, country, Mexican - but like all great bands they have evolved their own unique sound that is pure 'Los Lobos'. We get off to a great start with "Burn it down" with Susan Tedeschi on back-up vocals, closely followed by the loping blues-groove of "On Main Street". Both these tracks - along with the title track, the rocking instrumental "Do the Murray" and the closing track "27 Spanishes" - have wonderful guitars from David Hidalgo and Cesar Rosas. The band also covers the Grateful Dead's "West L.A. Fadeaway" and 'Dead writer' Robert Hunter shares the writing credits with Cesar Rosas on "All My Bridges Burning". And if you get tired of fabulous bluesy guitars and David Hidalgo's soulful voice then check out the Tex Mex polka of "Mujer Ingrata" and the cumbia swing of `Yo Canto'. I can't recommend this record highly enough, this is a band who have been playing together for 35 years and are at the very top of their game, effortlessly turning out music of great quality that appeals both to the head and the heart. Although I don't think this is quite as good as "The town and the city" it's not far behind and I would love to see them touring Britain soon." How Come This Isn't On Top of the Charts? Lightman | New York | 08/06/2010 (5 out of 5 stars) "
Los Lobos is one of those bands that just keeps on putting out amazing tunes but never seems to garner the following that work of this quality should. I can't imagine why. These guys are great. I know that Tin Can Trust is a CD that I'll listen to constantly. The musicianship is seamless, the lyrics are deep, and raw emotion pulsates just beneath the surface. My favorite songs are Burn It Down, with its catchy and insistent bass back beat, Jupiter or the Moon, a haunting and wistful love song, and 27 Spanishes, a wry and plaintive history of the new world in eight short verses. But every number takes you away. Highly recommended." |
