Los Lobos has been a great rock & roll band for over thirty years. Comprised of five world-class musicians who write, sing, and play brilliantly, Los Lobos prefer to write about their take on the sometimes funny, sometimes troubling stakes of life in Hispanic America. It's clear they know what goes on in their neighborhood, and they have plenty of compelling things to say about it.

Good Morning Aztlán is one of their strongest works to date. With its solid, straightforward sound, this album reflects the band's skills as one of rock's most consistently impressive acts. Good Morning Aztlán swings from high-octane rockers ("Done Gone Blue"), soulful R&B ("Hearts of Stone"), passionate Latin grooves ( "Luz de Mi Vida"), and any combination thereof, such as "Get to This," which blends an old-school funk bottom with crunching rock guitars.

Mobile Fidelity has unearthed so much more detail on this SACD, all transferred from the original analog master tape. Whether you're already one of their fans or are new to their sound, Good Morning Aztlán is a tremendous rock record from one of America's best bands.
