    I was somewhat disappointed with The Ride, only because I want to hear more of Los Lobos, and less of guest vocalists. In any event, I look forward to hearing Ride This.

    I will have to second that, the Ride was definitely less than I expected, which is a shame because their previous 2 releases really pulled me back into the fold. I will have to check out Ride This, though, I know Los Lobos may stumble, but they never fall.

    Almost Blue re-issue is good news, the last of the best of EC's releases, in my opinion. He never got along with Bruce Thompson (sp?) his original bassist, and after he left, the band lost it's propulsive beats and compelling basslines that made the slower songs more than just lyrics sung softly.

    Los Lobos was pretty much born to play "Marie Marie" by the Blasters. That's one of those ideas that are so obvious you can already hear it.
