The Town and the City

Formed in 1973, this is the 13th studio album by the East Los Angeles band, Los Lobos - one of America's truly great rock and roll bands!

Contained in a digipak with 16-page booklet, 'The Town and the City' CD is a great musical concoction - built on the blues, rockabilly, jazz, Latin and their own Mexican-American heritage.

"…a quietly exhilarating experience"
- All Music

"A tour de force of intertwined sound and imagery"

It has been a remarkable career ride for the four Chicano musicians from fabled Garfield High School in East Los Angeles: David Hidalgo, Louie Pérez, Cesar Rosas and Conrad Lozano, with the addition of consummate musician Steve Berlin, who joined the band as a full-time member in 1983. Los Lobos have gone from garage band to internationally acclaimed and celebrated unique purveyors of what they dub "roots music and a whole lot more," incorporating folkloric, blues, rock, R & B and Latin threads into their melting pot tapestry. As musicians, they are as stunningly accomplished as they are versatile.
