""Los Lobos (which means "The Wolves" in Spanish) turned out a great album with some classic Disney favorite tunes all done professionally and beautifully! The musical arrangements are not merely pleasing to the ear, they also allow Los Lobos to put their own stamp on these timeless songs from Disney. The quality of the sound is excellent and the artwork is very nicely done.



"Heigh-Ho" from "Snow White" gets a fine Latin treatment and Los Lobos makes this rock! The electric guitars are awesome and they deliver this like the champs that they are! "I Wan'na Be like You" comes from "The Jungle Book;" and actually this was always one of my very favorite Disney songs. Los Lobos gives this an electric arrangement that makes it a fine highlight of this CD and I think you'll enjoy it. "Not in Nottingham" is amazingly beautiful; I could never tire of hearing this beautiful, poignant song done so very well.



"Grim Grinning Ghosts," the theme song for Disney's "Haunted Mansion" attraction, makes good use of the organ and the beat will have you tapping your feet to the beat almost without your realizing it. "Cruella De Vil" from "101 Dalmatians" is another tune that gets the royal treatment from these talented artists; and it's great to hear Los Lobos do this one up right! "Bella Notte" is music for lovers; this is very special music for dancing all alone with your sweetheart late at night in your living room.



"Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah" is different from the way I'm used to hearing it but it all holds its own very well and those guitars work wonders for this ballad. "Bare Necessities" also comes from "The Jungle Book" and Los Lobos makes this shine with yet another dazzling arrangement that gives off lots and lots of positive energy. The CD ends with a fine medley of "When You Wish Upon a Star" and "It's a Small World" which leaves me wanting more!



Los Lobos struck out to make a CD of wonderful Disney songs made unique by crafting their own arrangements; and they succeeded way more than 100%. I highly recommend this album for the kid in all of us!"

Irresistable to young and old

"Los Lobos has been rocking East L.A. and the Western World with a buoyant blend of American and Mexican music for over 30 years now. Ever since 1988, when they released a hilarious cover of "I Wanna Be Like You" from Walt Disney's "Jungle Book," I have wondered when they might make a children's album. Here 'tis! Thirteen of your favorite Disney songs are given the lupine treatment they deserve, and the album is a delight throughout. Enjoy!"
