Los Lobos Surprise - Really - with “La Bamba” at Newport

- Nels Cline and John McCauley Give Band a Five-guitar Front Line on Bluesy Rendition

That Los Lobos concluded their Newport Folk Festival set with “La Bamba” is no surprise.

But the howling version the Wolves played was a shocker.

Augmented by Wilco’s Nels Cline and Deer Tick’s John McCauley, Lobos sported a five-guitar front line and put it to good use with a half-speed, blues-infused rendition of their famous Ritchie Valens cover.

The audience-shot video sounds pretty crummy. But it nevertheless crackles with electricity as Cline strangles his axe, coaxing otherworldly colors over David Hidalgo’s drawn-out vocal delivery.

Lobos have played “La Bamba” at most of the 24 gigs Sound Bites has attended. But none of them sounded like this one, which jettisoned the oft-inserted “Good Lovin’” interlude but retained the grimy outro that was recently appended to the track.

Muy bueno.

It’s not that we were gardeners; we were the labor force of the head gardener. Her gardens were beautiful. Flowers with…
