Ride This: The Covers

With THE RIDE, Grammy Award winning Los Lobos enlisted the help of some of music's most respected names: Elvis Costello, Tom Waits, salsa great Ruben Blades, R&B legends Mavis Staples & Bobby Womack, former Fairport Convention-er Richard Thompson, ex-Blaster Dave Alvin, producer Mitchell Froom, The Band's Garth Hudson, Mexico City rockers Caf‚ Tacuba, pan-Latin folk rockers Quetzal & East Los Angeles cultural icon Willie G. The result was a critically acclaimed album & a career-high Soundscan week for Los Lobos. Now the three-time Grammy-winning rock & rollers are repaying the favor, announcing plans to release a truly one-of-a-kind seven-song EP covering songs by Waits ("Jockey Full of Bourbon") Thompson ("Shoot Out The Lights") Womack ("More Than I Can Stand") Thee Midniters ("It'll Never Be Over For Me") & more.
