Most of the songs have been officially released. The three exceptions are the first track, "Who Do You Love," and the last two, "All Your Love (I Miss Loving)" and "Whittier Boulevard." Those three come from concert bootlegs, but soundboards with high sound quality.
Many of the other songs come from various artists compilations, including tribute albums to Sublime, Queen, and Fats Domino. One song, "Border Town Girl," was from a new best of collection.
Three of the songs come from the band's 2009 studio album "Los Lobos Goes Disney." I consider this a poor album that was pushed on the band due to the fact that the Disney corporation owned their record company. I found a quote on the Los Lobos Wikipedia page from a book on the band called "Los Lobos: Dream in Blue." It states, "Alas, the band's collective heart was clearly not in the making of the awkwardly titled [album]." So I've taken what I consider the three best songs from it, which are tracks seven though nine.
This album is 42 minutes long.

02 Pawn Shop (Los Lobos)
03 Sleeping on the Sidewalk (Los Lobos)
04 Canto a Veracruz (Los Lobos)

06 Billy 1 (Los Lobos)
07 The Fat Man (Los Lobos)

10 The Ugly Bug Ball (Los Lobos)
11 All Your Love [I Miss Loving] (Los Lobos)
12 Whittier Boulevard [Instrumental] (Los Lobos)

Hi Paul, have you heard the side project,' Houndog' by, Mike Halby and David Hidalgo? I give it 11 out of 10. It's a modern blues classic. Swamped out and blissful. If you can find anything else by this duo I'd be ecstatic! Many thanks.
ReplyDeleteLos Lobos Goes Disney is a dog of an album, but my grand daughter loved "Hi Ho". She made me play it everytime they were over. It's the only song from that album that ever got played.
