The band were already a highly efficient live band by the time of this release and their confidence flows as they tackle different styles, from straight rock 'n' roll on "I Got Loaded" to traditional Mexican folk with "Serenata Nortena". "Evangeline" and "Don't Worry Baby" are also strong album tracks, with the latter featuring a piercingly good guitar solo over a furious drum beat. The title track is the peak - the best vocal performance that Steve Winwood never sang; the resemblance to Winwood on this track is uncanny.

They began playing traditional Mexican music in their native East L.A. in the mid-'70s, but Los Lobos were galvanized by the California punk movement. By the early '80s they were a rock band to be reckoned with, purveying a highly charged brand of roots-rock distinctively colored by conjunto and Latin shadings. Their '90s work with producer Mitchell Froom found them heading into new worlds of textural sonic exploration.
