"Ride This," the new "covers" EP from Los Lobos...five stars, baby...

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

1. Jockey Full Of Bourbon (Tom Waits)
2. More Than I Can Stand (Bobby Womack)
3. Uncomplicated (Elvis Costello)
4. Patria (Ruben Blades)
5. Shoot Out The Lights (Richard Thompson)
6. It'll Never Be Over For Me (Thee Midnighters)
7. Marie Marie (Dave Alvin)

WOW...from the cool, confident urban soul of "More Than I Can Stand" and "It'll Never Be Over For Me" to the Neil Young & Crazy Horse stomp through Richard Thompson's signature track "Shoot Out The Lights," to the in-your face cover of Elvis Costello's "Uncomplicated" and a faithful amphetamine live romp through The Blasters' "Marie Marie," this is the best ten bucks (or less) you'll ever spend.

Hard to believe 14 years have passed since "Will The Wolf Survive"...Carlos Santana should pay special attention to "It'll Never Be Over For Me." It's what he USED to sound like when he was hungry, had an attitude, and wasn't whoring for hit singles. "Smooth" my ASS...
