TOUGH TIMES.......GREAT MUSIC,
By dickydo "Richie D" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Tin Can Trust (Audio CD)
Is it out of the question to suggest this is the greatest American Rock N Roll band of all time? Not as far fetched as you may think. If the criteria is longevity, consistency, and superior quality, is there another band that can lay claim? For my money this is their best work since the ambitious and highly original "Kiko" in the 90's. This is topical, powerful material, the title track and "Burn It Down" are somber laments about today's times, where people simply can't make ends meet. These downtrodden stories are complemented by great music, played by a band at the peak of it's collective powers. The Hidalgo-Perez songwriting team is as good as it gets, telling compelling stories without being preachy. The music itself is spot on throughout, with the only misstep being the collobaration with Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter, the hippie pathos of "All My Bridges Burning" is out of line with the tenor of the rest of the songs. There's still some fun to had, Cesar Rojas Spanish language gems rock full bore, as does the instrumental "Do The Murray" The cover of the Dead's "West L.A. Fadeaway sounds like Garcia and company without the sloppiness. Los Lobos, America's greatest rock band of ALL TIME!! This disc just might cement that legacy.

Trust Los Lobos to deliver quality rock and roll..,
By G. E. Harrison - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Tin Can Trust (Audio CD)
I came late to Los Lobos's previous album "The town and the city" but I was absolutely amazed at how wonderful it was - a true modern rock classic. Four years later and this record carries on with a similar layered production, fabulous guitar playing and amazing vocals - although the lyrics aren't quite as focused and conceptual. Again the influences are apparent - rock, blues, country, Mexican - but like all great bands they have evolved their own unique sound that is pure 'Los Lobos'.We get off to a great start with "Burn it down" with Susan Tedeschi on back-up vocals, closely followed by the loping blues-groove of "On Main Street". Both these tracks - along with the title track, the rocking instrumental "Do the Murray" and the closing track "27 Spanishes" - have wonderful guitars from David Hidalgo and Cesar Rosas. The band also covers the Grateful Dead's "West L.A. Fadeaway" and 'Dead writer' Robert Hunter shares the writing credits with Cesar Rosas on "All My Bridges Burning". And if you get tired of fabulous bluesy guitars and David Hidalgo's soulful voice then check out the Tex Mex polka of "Mujer Ingrata" and the cumbia swing of `Yo Canto'. I can't recommend this record highly enough, this is a band who have been playing together for 35 years and are at the very top of their game, effortlessly turning out music of great quality that appeals both to the head and the heart. Although I don't think this is quite as good as "The town and the city" it's not far behind and I would love to see them touring Britain soon. 19 of 21 people found the following review helpful

Los Lobos in fine (if not transcendent) form,
By John Q. Public - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Tin Can Trust (Audio CD)
I'm a diehard Los Lobos fan, who will basically buy whatever they release. I thought "The Town and the City" was a great recording, on par with "Kiko" and the very best of their earlier work. This one is a notch lower. The Cesar Rosas tunes sound like retreads, however spirited, and come on--you know the well is running dry when you encounter "Burn It Down" and "All My Bridges Burning" on the same disc. And if you want to cover a Grateful Dead song, there are dozens of stronger candidates (including "Bertha," which they already released as a live cut in one of the box sets). That said, I'm never going to turn up my nose at David Hidalgo's singing, the blistering twin-guitar attack, and songs as good as "Tin Can Trust" and "Jupiter Or The Moon." And I'll buy the next one the day it comes out.
