Willie & Lobo

Maybe I missed it somewhere in the description of this CD, but every track on this CD is also on one of their other CDs. Since I already have "Fandango Nights" and "Between the Waters," buying this CD was a big waste of money. I love their music, but not only is this CD just a re-hash of their other CDs, but on this one they've teamed up with some hack novel writer. This self-important writer makes sure you read the opening paragraphs to his novel by printing them on the back cover of the CD, printing them inside the liner notes, and (get this) doing a voiceover of the same hackneyed paragraphs over the first track on the CD. Sheesh. Willie & Lobo would have done better to get rid of this writer and put out a CD of new material (or at least make it clear that this CD is an anthology of previously released tracks). Summary: The music is great (as usual), but if you already have any of their other CDs, bypass this one.

Don't Know Where She Went / Potato Stomp [Digital 45] - Single

The first time i heard this group was a week ago in a restaurant in Puerto Vallarta. The moment i came into the restaurant i asked the waiter what was being played there. He told me it was Willie & Lobo and the album "Caliente". The moment i came home i bought it and loved it!!! It has great rythms with a beautiful combination of guitar, violin and percussions.If you want to relax and transport yourself into a different place this CD is the one...great for your car, office, home, etc. 


Caliente

Few artists have the power this Gypsy guitar-violin duo boast to transport listeners to an exotic universe. For Willie & Lobo, it's their regular haunt in a Puerto Vallarta cantina by the sea. On Wild Heart, the duo bring that bar to life with gently swaying tunes that go down as easy as that last corona. Typical of their laid-back style is "Egyptian Odyssey," which rings like a theme to a dusty Western in which the cowboys have to head south of the border. Producer Rick Braun toggles the record between hip-hop grooves and more organic percussion. He also picks up his trumpet to turn the loping "Rosas Hermanas" into a graceful Herb Alpert-type gem. Violinist Willie Royal shows his diversity on this cut, laying down his violin and picking up an acoustic guitar to jam with his partner, Wolfgang Fink, and with pop-flamenco guitarist Marc Antoine. It's a formidable triple threat, with the focus more on subtlety than jamming.
Willie & Lobo's more boisterous side (think last call, with the crowd getting rowdy) comes alive on "El Ni?o." It begins with a weird violin vamp, then explodes into vocal cries and empathic guitar - all over a percolating funk groove. The two also enjoy playing somewhere between the beaches of Mexico and a field in Ireland on "Rita's Jig." That piece is all Royal's (Lobo plays percussion) as he zigzags over the throbbing Celtic drum of Scott Breadman.




Wild Heart

Every track is beautifully crafted. The combination of flamenco guitar, violin, the occassional harmonica, and other ethnic instruments create an atmosphere of mystery. All music is instrumental except for one track where voices are electronically distorted and fused with violin.
