He'll play til he goes off to sleep

Kiko was the album that turned me on to Los Lobos back in the day. Its moody and introspective at times, bar rockin' groovy at others, ranging from traditional south of the border folk tunes to Crazy Horse-esque rockers. They've been cranking out good records for years, better than ever lately. The title song is a moody number with their telltale use of percussion for emphasis. And check out David Hidalgo rockin' the squeezebox.
