Los Super Seven

Combining elements from Los Lobos, the Texas Tornados, and Texas country, Los Super Seven finds common ground in the music of the Lone Star State. Full of Mexican-American traditional tunes, it includes a cover of Woody Guthrie's "Plane Wreck at Los Gatos (Deportee)" sung by Joe Ely. Ely, along with Doug Sahm, Freddy Fender, David Hidalgo, Cesar Rosas, Rick Trevino and Flaco Jimenez have formed a sort of Tex-Mex supergroup brought together by their love for this romantic, yet spicy music. But the music is seriously presented here and produced with love by Steve Berlin with the hopes that it gets beyond the Hispanic community and snares some newer audiences, Los Super Seven is worthy of a listen. Who would have thought world music could be so close to your own back door? ~ James Chrispell, All Music Guide
