For Rock en Espanol, Vol. 1, Los Straitjackets have recruited three talented friends to perform a set of rock & roll classics in Spanish — Cesar Rosas of Los Lobos, Big Sandy of retro-country kings Big Sandy & His Fly-Rite Boys , and Little Willie G., lead singer with legendary East LA soul-rockers Thee Midnighters. While most folks will be familiar with these tunes in their English-language originals, many of the versions that appear on this album were taken from Spanish rewrites recorded by in the ’60s by Mexican teen groups such as Los Teen Tops,Los Locos del Ritmo and Los Rebeldes del Rock. Sometimes things change a little bit in translation, as “Hang On Sloopy” gets turned into a lover’s plea to a gal named Lupe, “Dizzy Miss Lizzy” is transformed into “El Microscopico Bikini” (speaking of another universal language), and “Wild Thing” becomes “Loco Te Patina el Coso.” While this all might sound like a goof to some folks, Los Straitjackets play these tunes with their usual mixture of chops, fire and effortless swing (and guitarists Eddie Angel and Danny Amis are in great form on these sessions), while their special guests really deliver the goods. The tough but supple voice Cesar Rosas has been putting to such great use with Los Lobos over the years gets another worthy platform here (he also produced the album),while Big Sandy (who cut a great album of classic Low Rider R&B in 1998 called Dedicated to You) gets to show off the passionate range of his voice on “De Dia y de Nocha” (aka the Kinks’ “All Day and All of the Night”) and “Dame Una Sena” (aka Brenton Woods’ “Gimmie Little Sign”), and Little Willie G. steals the show with a heart-tugging version of Arthur Alexander’s “Ana.” token instrumental, a cookin’ cover of Thee Midnighters’ “Whittier Boulevard.” Rock en Espanol, Vol. 1 is a fine tribute to some of the less commonly explored aspects of rock & roll’s Latin roots, and it’s great stuff for either listening or dancing. ~ Mark Deming Artist Los Straitjackets Genre Rock And Pop Label Yep Roc Buying Options 1LP Coloured Vinyl Format 1LP , Coloured Vinyl Condition New Country UK Track Listings De Dia y de Noche Dejenme Llorar Whittier Boulevard Ana El Microscopico Bikini Dame Una Sena La Hiedra Venenosa Calor Hey Lupe Lagrimas Solitarias Popotitos Magia Blanca Loco Te Patina El Coco Tu Te Vas Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Los Straitjackets and more from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View Los Straitjackets Jet Set (10th Anniversary) Rock And Pop | Yep Roc | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 21st October 2022 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Los Straitjackets Jet Set (10th Anniversary) £24.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Yep Roc SKU: LPYEP2268LEC Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 21st October 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Los Straitjackets The Utterly Fantastic And Totally Unbelievable Sounds Of Rock And Pop | Yep Roc | 1LP Released 1st November 2019 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Los Straitjackets The Utterly Fantastic And Totally Unbelievable Sounds Of £26.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Yep Roc SKU: LPYEP2665 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 1st November 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Los Straitjackets Viva!
