NancyFDec 20, 2006THE 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. If you haven't listened to LOS LOBOS lately, you owe it to yourself to become acquainted with this aural odessy from East L.A.'s finest!

JasonPOct 6, 2006These guys just keep dropping solid album after solid album. Not a political album so much as one concerned with people and how a few issues might affect them. And it's well done, too--lighter on the rockers than some of their more recent efforts, but still great. And "the Valley" is near-hypnotic. Another high point among high point albums for the band.

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.

BlenderTheir first protest record. [Oct 2006, p.137]

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