Music reviews of Good Morning Aztlán [Limited Edition]
Music Review: Postcards from Aztlan
Rating: 5 Stars
Whenever a new Los Lobos or solo project by one of the wolves is released it is a time to rejoice and listen to some good jams. I've been listening to this over and over for the last few months and it is like fine wine, like the band it just gets better with age. The album(I know it is a CD) is super and lies somewhere between the classic 90's releases "Kiko" and "La Pistola Y LA Corazon." As indicated by the bilingual title "Good Morning Aztlan" the muisc is reflective of the Chicano band who's folkloric roots have mixed with bluesy rock to create a unique hybrid sound . Some of the songs are in Spanish, most in English and one even in a long overdue Spanglish. The one in Spanglish entitled "Luz De Mi Vida" is excellent, a sample opening lyric reflects the duality of these home boys culture,"Cuando you and me we were chiquillos we would always run through the tall nopal." The beauty of this song is that it is how many Chicanos speak, part English, part Spanish, without rules, a pathos of the street. Working with producer John Leckie the wolf boys created this stellar disc in the comfy confines of Ceasar Rosas house which lends to the down home feeling. Each track is terrific in it's own right although I do prefer those that are in Spanish but there is something to please everyone on this disc. Songs of particular interest are "Malaque" with lots of open space for fine instrumental work. "Done Gone Blue"with it's blistering guitar work remiscent of "Will the Wolf Survive," the reflective "Hearts of Stone," the bittersweet "Tony Y Maria," a tale of broken dreams and the hard driving title track "Good Morning Aztlan." For fans of Los Lobos this disc will not dissapoint as the legacy continues to grow. The packaging is good with a bonus disc that has a brief documentary on the making of the CD for your computer. There are also two live audio tracks to give a total of 14 tracks. This is the real deal, a true American band with deep roots that continue to spread. Recomended for fans of Los Lobos and those interested in the audio postcards from Aztlan, part Mexican, part Chicano for a true American sound reflecting a vision of contemporary Aztlan.
Description of Good Morning Aztlán [Limited Edition]
Includes bonus enhanced CD with two previously unreleased LIVE recordings.After 25 years together as a band, you'd expect Los Lobos to be spent creatively. Not so, though this East L.A. institution has settled into a perhaps too-comfortable groove with its past couple of albums. No longer the studio experimentalists of Kiko (still the group's best album), nor the Mexican roots-music purists of La Pistola y El Corazon, the band now offers a reliable mix of styles on each album--a smooth concoction that is equal parts roots-rock, blues, R&B, and Latin dance music. Although paired with new producer John Leckie (Radiohead, XTC), the band doesn't venture into much new sonic territory with Good Morning Aztlán. The most distinctive tracks are the three Latin-spiked numbers--in particular "Malaqúe," which merges vera cruzano harp with what sounds like Brazilian carnival rhythms--and a pair of gorgeous, '70s-inflected soul songs, "Hearts of Stone" and "The Word." Overall, Good Morning Aztlán is a good album but not a great one, at least by the band's lofty standards. --Keith Moerer
