Los Lobos
Colossal Head
(Warner Bros.)
First Appeared at The Music Box,
February 1997, Volume 4, #2
Written by John Metzger
Los Lobos' latest studio album Colossal Head
doesn't come close to capturing the energy of the band's concerts,
and coming in the wake of its masterpiece Kiko, it also a bit of a
letdown. Even so, it does provide a glimpse at the ensemble's stylistic
range. From the pounding Mas Y
Mas to the funky Revolution to the mariachi-band Maricela, the
outing covers a lot
of territory. Little Feat fans should love Everybody Loves a Train and Manny's Bones,
while This Bird's Gonna Fly conjures up images of John Lennon's early '70s performances with
the Plastic Ono Band. 
Colossal Head is available from Amazon.com.
