It may appear immodest to claim veracity as a signal
quality for electric guitar-driven music, a form entering
its fifth decade of vitality. But Los Lobos takes simple
materials and just does their thing on „Good Morning
Aztlan‰ without a hint of archness, posturing, or
audience mongering. That they‚ve survived every
trend without ever becoming trendy or ever becoming a
museum piece, at this point, is due to their commitment
to a truly modest verity: they love to make music. Los
Lobos are romantic dramatists; yet the diamond-hard
stories here don‚t concern extravagant and indulgent
recollections of the rock and roll journey they‚ve
been on for thirty years. Sans such drama, they‚re
content to play their road house blues and Chicano rock
for their own, and our own, enjoyment. This latest record
is not the least bit fussy or experimental, it‚s
funky and instantly ingratiating and true.
