Love this album. This is another one RP introduced me to and I have purchased. 




RP kinda makes you do that.  It's a good problem to have!

September 15th, 1972. Will that do?


I prefer June 21, 1994.  That was a good Summer Solstice day from what I remember.

Just arrived in Puerto Vallarta for the winter and it is so nice to hear Willie and Lobo again. We first heard them here 25 yrs ago at the Mama Mia cafe. Willie is no longer with us but Lobo carries on. Hope to hear him live again this year.

I was  going to respond but you posted to RP 15 years ago. You're probably dead by now.

We were sitting in a bar in San Miguel de Allende, and the band started playing behind me. I said to my friends, wow, they're doing a great job with that Willie and Lobo song.  Turns out there was a good reason.

Nice to hear Willy & Lobo again, as I sit in their musical home, Puerta Vallarta. First heard them here 20 years ago at the long-gone 'Mama Mia's', and again last summer. Willy has left us but Lobo plays on for our enjoyment.

Digging this sound. Reminds me a bit of some of Loreena McKennitt's instrumental stuff.

I used to see Willie & Lobo in Puerto Vallarta for years. Always a good night, under the stars, listening to beautiful music by the ocean. Actually they played mostly under the bridge by the river. I now live in Puerto Escondido and run a music night at The Split Coconut. We get violin players from Mexico City and great musicians from all over the world. Last week I had a classical violin player jamming to Copperhead Road. Music is the International language. Come join us on the beach for a good time. Buena suerte
 We first saw them in PV at Moma Mia in 1995 and many times since. Willy passed away a few years ago but Lobo is still playing with a new partner Geo. They are in PV in Jan. 2019.
We never tire of hearing them.

says that the main theme is by Jeff Beal, so I'm guessing no.

Sounds of Bruce Cockburn in there?  Anyone else pick it up as such?
Posted 12 years ago by sbegf    [ Reply ]
The intro may either be inspired or have inspired the intro to Prince's 'The Max' on the album 'O(->'. I have to compare issue dates...

Having just attended a Cirque de Soleil production in San Francisco yesterday, this track could have been lifted from it.  Love it...

I can only compare this to "No Quarter', and as such, rate it a 3, at best.

I don't know who the heck these guys are, but I like their music!  It reminds me a bit of the intro music to the TV show "Deadwood."

Quit feckin' SHOUTING! If you think you'll get your way by posting messages in 36pt you're out of tune with the RP vibe. Oh, and Bill and Becky don't play full albums, so there are 2 chances of your "dare" being taken up: fat and slim (and Slim just left town).

I picture camels rocking me to the beat as we sway to and fro traveling through the sand as it is blown hotly into my face as the sun sets. A song that can transport me from the office to the dunes can't be that bad. I like it! I need a drink of water...
