On their major-label debut 'How Will the Wolf Survive?', Los Lobos established their signature blend of American roots rock with traditional Mexican genres like norteƱo and Tejano. The songwriting provides a compassionate look at the immigrant experience, using the title track's central metaphor to parallel the band's own struggle for cultural and commercial survival. [1, 4] Co-produced by T-Bone Burnett and the band's own Steve Berlin, the album features a clean, vibrant sound that highlights the group's versatile musicianship and the acclaimed guitar work of David Hidalgo and Cesar Rosas.
