Chicano rock pioneers Los Lobos marking 40 years

They are seen as the progenitors of Chicano rock `n' roll, the first band that had the boldness, and some might even say the naivete, to fuse punk rock with Mexican folk tunes.

Random Vinyl: The Youngbloods - The Youngbloods (1967)

The Youngbloods are best known for their hit version of "Get Together" (c'mon people now, smile on your brother, everybody get together, try to love one another right now.) If you dig a little deeper into this record, past the hit single, you'll hear more of a sound reminiscent of The Byrds and The Lovin' Spoonful. We played the side one, track one, Youngbloods original "Grizzely Bear."
