Mañana Hasn't Got a Clue
From 1993, please enjoy Los Lobos -- aka one of the greatest American bands of the last several decades -- and their beyond fantastic live cover of The Beatles psychedlic classic studio masterpeice "Tomorrow Never Knows."
They've been great for so many years. I believe there's an on-line petition to get them into the Rock-n-Roll Hall Of Fame, an honor they would totally deserve.
1984...How Will The Wolf Survive. Thats the year this band caught my attention. I have always been a fan of great bands doing a cover - nothing lazy about it. Years later I caught the Warren Haynes Band doing an amazing cover of Traffic's - The Low Spark Of High Heeled Boys. The Floor Models do a pretty good job, nah great job re-imagineing The Byrds.
I think if you counted up the number of great albums they've made it would outnumber the legendary runs of people like the Rolling Stones or Stevie Wonder. Kiko is a masterpiece but a half-dozen others are just as good.
they are never less than great, and covering TNK is a natural for them. By the way, their new album is wonderful
