Los Lobos - The Neighborhood | 90s Album Review

Los Lobos' 1990 album The Neighborhood showcases their signature blend of rock, blues, and Latin influences through the lense and ears of East Los Angeles. While it didn’t achieve the commercial success of La Bamba, the album captures Los Lobos’ musical versatility and deep-rooted cultural influences. The band shifts from Texas blues and roots rock to old school rock 'n roll and acoustic balladry with the ease of seasoned players, with lead singer/guitarist David Hidalgo guiding the band all the way. At times the reliance on traditional blues structures can stifle the endlessly creative band by locking them into particular styles and arrangements, whereas tracks written outside the format flourish thanks to the skilled band.   Songs In This Episode Intro - Down On The Riverbed 19:17 - I Walk Alone 24:25 - The Giving Tree 26:25 - Georgia Slop 43:37 - Be Still Outro - The Neighborhood   Support the podcast, join the DMO UNION at Patreon.
