Gates of Gold by Los Lobos
Gates of Gold is an album by Los Lobos, released in 2015. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 3 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Made To Break Your Heart”, on 3 lists with a best position of #74.
Gates of Gold, Los Lobos' 15th studio album, arrived in September 2015 on 429 Records, with Proper Records handling Europe, and it was their first full-length studio record since Tin Can Trust in 2010. The East Los Angeles band have long folded rock and roll together with Tex-Mex, blues, R&B, country, cumbia and norteño, and this record sounds like veterans who no longer need to explain the mix: dusty grooves, rootsy guitars, songs that settle in and take their time rather than show off.
The timing had a nice ring to it. The same year, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame put Los Lobos on its nominee list, nearly three decades after their version of "La Bamba" took them to the top of the Billboard Hot 100.
