Some cheese and some meh on here (see the first two tracks). Suffers from National Treasure syndrome where everyone wanted to work with a legend who needed a top-selling record. Late-80s early 90s style production is a little gross too. Definitely doesn't feel like essential JLH. The Los Lobos and Canned Heat tracks are standouts, tho

Just one of the all time bangers. Atmospheric, energetic yet chill. The vibes! The sheer motherfucking vibes!

incredible energy! demands attention and requires close listening. not really hangout joint, but if you have the time and the brainspace, get in there!

A certain kind of perfection. Not avant garde to today's ears, but sweet and sincere and groundbreaking for its time.
