Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com essential recording
The Los Lobos fan might reasonably ask what--besides length and a wonderful accompanying booklet--Más y Más has over 1993's two-CD Just Another Band from East L.A.. The answer is longwinded: here are album tracks (anywhere from four to eight from each studio album), outtakes, demos, and live cuts, as well as selections from tribute albums, soundtracks, and side projects. Some highlights that weren't on the earlier collection include a 1983 rockabilly sizzler, "We're Gonna Rock," the similarly charged "Rip It Up" (an '87 outtake from La Bamba), Richard Thompson's "Down Where the Drunkards Roll" (from the '94 tribute Beat the Retreat), a live take on the Beatles' "Tomorrow Never Knows" (from a '93 television tribute), "Route 90" (from the pristine Lobos children's collection, Papa's Dream), and a '97 live version of Marvin Gaye's "What's Goin' On" with Sheryl Crow guesting on vocals. This doesn't even take into account the songs from six soundtracks and a personal fave, "Alone in a Crowd" (from I Only Wrote This Song for You: A Tribute to Johnny Thunders) and a fab take on Doug Sahm's "She's About a Mover" from '96. This and more pushes Más y Más out of the group of multi-CD boxes devoted to defunct artists and into the camp of justly deserved career overviews created while the subjects are still in full flight. --Andrew Bartlett

5 out of 5 stars Far from...........2005-12-15

....just another band...this gracious and generous box not only covers the rocking, fertile ground plowed by the "Just Another Band from East L.A." double, but also includes hearty samplings from their more modern, experimental, avant-garde-y era...I'm more of a fan of the earlier, more rootsy stuff, like "I got loaded" and "How will the wolf survive", but still, the latter era has its moments, like the gorgeous and seductive, "Kiko"...so, it's all here...

Combine that with great extras and covers like "What's Going On" and "Tomorrow Never Knows", and it adds up to a first-rate collection and a must for the roots rock fan.

5 out of 5 stars A true musical gem!!!.......2002-12-18

EL CANCIONERO is without a doubt one of the best box sets to be released in a long time. We have over 80 songs that stretch from the very beginnings of LOS LOBOS until the present day. If you listen to these songs, you will soon find that there is alot more to this great band than just LA BAMBA. While that song is included here, it is overshadowed by the great songs that this band has consistenly made. We have all the hits from the group: ONE TIME ONE NIGHT, WILL THE WOLF SURVIVE?, SET ME FREE (ROSA LEE), THIS TIME. We are also treated to songs from the various side projects and solo albums that the group members have worked on. If this isnt enough of an incentive to buy this set, how about unreleased tracks and tracks from various soundtracks and tribute albums. You get everything you could possibly want from this band and then some. I highly suggest that you go out and get this set. You will not be disappointed, I'm not

5 out of 5 stars Fantastic Box Set.......2002-09-15

I'll make this short and sweet, because this box set (CD4, track 12) is playing and the music is just too good to pass by and waste my time writing stuff... I only knew these guys from the "La Bamba" movie and took the dive into unknown territory. It was certainly worthwile, this is one of the most rewarding box sets out there, this band is so creative, passionate, original, daring, captivating. To tell the truth, I never thought I'd hear a band in the nineties that could make me change my mind that all good music stopped by the end of the 70's. If I ever get a chance in seeing them live in Belgium, I'm there. Wow!

5 out of 5 stars A blazing paradigm of a collection..........2001-03-09

Since its early Winter release, this has been on my turntable, I mean CD player more than anything else. An amazing collection that shows the vastness of the Los Lobos legacy. Their beautiful Spanish tunes along with wonderfully written intricut Rock Music. Their own style is added to cover tunes and their splinter groups push the envelope even further. Just saw them live at the Fillmore in San Francisco and they have become a mixture of all the great live dance bands bringing their hight sprited originallity to American Music. Buy this collection now!

5 out of 5 stars An amazing compilation.......2001-02-23

Last weekend, I loaded these four CDs into my car's deck and drove from DC to New York. The drive was an absolute joy. This set is a continuing series of wonderful surprises. If you haven't really listened to these guys before (I hadn't), buy this and be prepared to smile a lot.
