Sunny, friendly rock with soft male vocals and some Mexican influence here and there. Harmony vocals are tight and understated on 1. Spanish lyrics on 2, 3 (partly), 11, 12 It's irresistable but WRONG to compare them to Los Lobos, because these guys can't rock as hard. Case in point: #4, which starts out with nice bluesy licks but brick-walls itself with a bland happy chorus. This disc comes mostly from singer-songwriter territory, with the occasional creative diversion into Latin themes. Emphasizes variety rather than innovation, but it's good overall. 1*- Mid/fast, gentle folk-rock feel 2- Mid/fast, in Spanish, mildly mariachi 3- Slow Latin jazz feel 4- Blazing midtempo rocker w/less blazing horns 5*- Soft mid/fast cowboy rock 6*- Country rock, w/accordion 7- Midtempo solid beat with Latin/blues horns 8- Quieter, breezy, with mid/fast beat 9*- Mid/fast. Catchy simple pop 10- Calypso, Jimmy Buffet-like. Funny alcohol song. 11- Slow, slinky Latin lounge 12- Midtempo minor-key Latin shuffle 13- Mellow, w/solid midtempo beat 14- Hidden track, breezy | ||
