Ross (3284 KP) rated How Will the Wolf Survive by Los Lobos in Music

May 5, 2020 (Updated May 17, 2021)

Rolling Stone's 455th greatest album of all time (431st in the 2020 list)

A mediocre selection of blues and mariachi songs. The songs on the blues side are quite good, a little similar to ZZ Top, the more latino is a little less enjoyable. There doesn't seem much overlap, it really is a set of 2 different styles of songs which it is hard to think many would enjoy all of.
And no La Bamba ?!

Rolling Stone's 405th greatest album of all time

This is my third experience of a Big Star album, a band I had never heard of before I started working my way through Rolling Stone's top 500 albums. This was by far the best of those three, being good quality typical 70s rock songs. Reminiscent of the Eagles and Jackson Browne at times, the odd Bowie hint here and there. A really enjoyable listen.

Rolling Stone's 479th greatest album of all time

What a fantastic album. With a lot of similarities to Frank Zappa at his funk-laden jazz best, this is a short collection of brilliant 70s songs. Hints of Hendrix as well make this a really enjoybale and surprising listen. Definitely one I will listen to again, and reminded me why I am listening to Rolling Stone's top 500 albums. And then came the next one ...
