Los Lobos at the Zoo

http://www.startribune.com/blogs/86507997.html

According to the above referenced article, Los Lobos will be playing two shows at the Summer Concert Series at the Minnesota Zoo in 2010.

This band is fantastic. Their music has flavors from Mexican folk, Norteno, Zydeco, Roots, and Country. That said all of it is flat-out guitar driven rock and roll. I think they are one of the best rock bands playing. I really appreciate their instrumentation. Layered guitar tones, baritone sax, Hammond organ and great vocal harmony all contribute to their sound. At times they can be a bit of a jam band, I forgive them. With music this great, I don't care if a song is 27 minutes long. Their version of Bertha is one of my favorites.

Colossal Head is one of my top 5 albums of all time.

I certainly don't want to miss one of their show this year.
