Los Lobos: The Neighborhood

Recharged by their set of Mexican music, Los Lobos return with arguably their finest straight rock & roll record. The Neighborhood effortlessly combines rock, R&B, blues, and country into a singular, powerful sound that manages to be as darkly funky as "I Walk Alone" and "Georgia Slop" and as gently moving as "Emily."
-- Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All-Music Guide

Levon does the harmony vocal and mandolin on "Emily", and part of the lead vocal on "Little John of God".
