Los Lobos - Native Sons [2021 Coke Bottle Vinyl 2xLP] – New LP

stunning set of covers (and equally wonderful original title track), selecting some choice cuts, made fresh again, 3 sides focused on songs by fellow Los Angeles songwriters and bands, sequenced wonderfully, completely respectful towards the original versions but never redundant, old gems dusted off and brought into the sunlight. Well done, indeed. — winch (green noise)

“Los Angeles based band, Los Lobos, have always been inspired by their surroundings and the place they call home. Their music is influenced by rock and roll, Tex-Mex, country, zydeco, folk, R&B, blues, brown-eyed soul, and traditional music such as cumbia, boleros and norteños. With Native Sons the band set out to showcase all of these influences with their own take on the songs of Los Angeles from some of the cities greatest songwriters. Native Sons features 13-songs from well known LA artists such as Buffalo Springfield, WAR, Jackson Browne and the Beach Boys as well as deep cuts from the Jaguars, The Basters and The Premiers. The album title track is the sole original composition written by the band.”
