    The Town and the City isn't likely to be the soundtrack for your next party, but it's an exciting and emotionally powerful experience that grows with each listen.

    This is an album in the classic, pre-digital sense, in which the very sequence of songs suggests meaning and connection. [12 Sep 2006]

    THE TOWN AND THE CITY is a flawless gem that contains some of the best songwriting efforts to date by David Hidalgo and Louis Perez. "LUNA", written by Cesar Rosas, is captivating.

    Los Lobos is The Band, with longevity. Hard to believe they've kept the quality of their albums at this level for over 20 years... God bless em.
