Earlier this year, a commenter made the bold claim that Los Lobos’ The Town And The City was “their best album ever,” prompting us to dig through our promo pile and give it another listen. And while City is no How Will The Wolf Survive?, it’s a great record nonetheless, one that’s full of sparse, ragged instrumentation and pognant lyrics. Two of our favorite tracks, including the heartbreaking “Little Things,” are bwlow; if listening to them makes you feel like you’re turning into your dad, just tell yourself you’ve found some new M. Ward bootlegs or something:
