All Around Musicians
This CD is actually a replacement for the old one I wore out. You don't have to be Hispanic to enjoy the incredible talent of Los Lobos. This band can play virtually any kind of music but they have a way of weaving traditional Mexican Ranch music into their rock. The richness of the music is great to listen to when traveling or even working around the house. I highly recommend this CD.


Not Just Another Band
Only Steely Dan and Little Feat come readily to mind; I'm talking "roots" music here. Few bands have been able to put together a body of work of the quality of Los Lobos. Far fewer bands have been able to put together a retrospective album as good as this one. I own all of Los Lobos' albums so one would think that this collection would have limited value; not so. Not only does this album bring together the very best of their album tracks, it also includes many superb live cuts and other rare gems. In addition, there is a fantastic booklet. Whoever put this retrospective together must be congratulated as it is a model for other bands/record companies to follow.

Los Lobos are a band that has evolved considerably over the years but have always presented an original, superb and interesting product. Some of their material may be an acquired taste; their groove-based and traditional mexican material occupy the extremes of a very wide musical spectrum and the listener needs to have liberal and wide-ranging tastes, however the quality of everything they do is of the highest order. If you are a Los Lobos fan get this album, if you are a neophyte also get it and if you want to find out what the fuss is all about, get it. This is great music by one of America's finest roots music bands. .


Good Stuff, but......
I like the CD but I don't find the R&B, rockin' tunes as compelling as the Mexican music. My knowledge about Los Lobos was pretty limited when I bought this. Those tracks are why I give this compilation 4 stars.


make it a priority purchase
One of the best bands to ever grace the contemporary rock scene in the past couple of decades, The Wolves make music that is oriented to blues, electric guitar rock, country, gospel, and many other musical styles mixed together in a way that is truly their own. if you have never heard this band, you should be pitied, because you don't know what you are missing. The band are truly musicians musicians, and should be listened to by everyone because their albums show a lot of consistency over the years, with many high points.

All of the big high points are shown on here, with all of the best from How Will the Wolf Survive? Kiko, The Neighborhood, and other cds. A casual fan who has only heard "La Bamba" (which is included) may not appreciate such a huge amount of material, all of which makes a fairly expensive package. But I say that making a one disc set would do the band a disservice, when they have so much to offer. All of the best songs from the best cds are here; there are no glaring omissions of any kind. For music this good, the cost is worth it. Save up your bucks and go get it now. Also, get Kiko and Good Morning Aztlan. Don't bother with the new live album or cover albums.
Have fun listening! .
