Muy Bueno!
The "lost" tracks are particularly pleasing. Excellent overview of an American treasure. A box set that gets it right. Highly recommended. .


Los Lobos An American Treasure
The Band was the first and it appears that Los Lobos has inherited and expanded on that journey along with a strong dose of latin flavor added to the mix. There are two rock groups who through their musical excursions set the standard when it comes to exploring Americana. They share the same multi-instrumental abilities of The Band,utilizing an eclectic selection of material that takes them far from their East Los Angeles roots. As the foremost purveyors of chicano influenced rock, Los Lobos pays honor to not only their Mexican heritage but to all the other musical styles they were exposed to growing up in the neighborhoods of L. A. This box set wonderfully reveals the full extant of their relationship with various genres encompassing the blues,country & western,mexican folk (rancheras,norteno,cumbias,etc. )R&B,Rock AND Roll,jazz,and soul music. Los Lobos are an American treasure and this collection is a reflection of that. In fact this box is treasure chest unto itself. America's premier roots rockers. Five Stars Plus. Own It!!.


Los Lobos-El Cancionero
I cannot wait for the next collection as they have recorded so much more since the release of this. Los Lobos is, by far, one of the most talented bands on the planet; and this box set is evidence.

El Cancionero tracks the band from its early East L. A. stages playing , essentially mexican/american folk music flavored with a little all-american rock-a-billy.

The set then demonstrates the bands eclectic talents in rock, soul, country, and of course, muchos rancheras,corridos, cumbias, as well as the band's ventures into mariachi style music as documented on its critically-acclaimed release La Pistola y El Corazon.

The set comes complete with a full-color booklet documenting LL's history as well as track by track notes from Louis Perez.

A definite must for any Los Lobos fan.


Far from....
. . . just another band. . . this gracious and generous box not only covers the rocking, fertile ground plowed by the "Just Another Band from East L. A. " double, but also includes hearty samplings from their more modern, experimental, avant-garde-y era. . . I'm more of a fan of the earlier, more rootsy stuff, like "I got loaded" and "How will the wolf survive", but still, the latter era has its moments, like the gorgeous and seductive, "Kiko". . . so, it's all here. . .

Combine that with great extras and covers like "What's Going On" and "Tomorrow Never Knows", and it adds up to a first-rate collection and a must for the roots rock fan.


A true musical gem!!!
We have over 80 songs that stretch from the very beginnings of LOS LOBOS until the present day. EL CANCIONERO is without a doubt one of the best box sets to be released in a long time. If you listen to these songs, you will soon find that there is alot more to this great band than just LA BAMBA. While that song is included here, it is overshadowed by the great songs that this band has consistenly made. We have all the hits from the group: ONE TIME ONE NIGHT, WILL THE WOLF SURVIVE?, SET ME FREE (ROSA LEE), THIS TIME. We are also treated to songs from the various side projects and solo albums that the group members have worked on. If this isnt enough of an incentive to buy this set, how about unreleased tracks and tracks from various soundtracks and tribute albums. You get everything you could possibly want from this band and then some. I highly suggest that you go out and get this set. You will not be disappointed, I'm not.
