LOS FABULOCOS FEATURING KID RAMOS Source: Blue Suede News Date: 10/2008 Writer: Howard A. DeWitt

The Cali-Mex sound is one of the most infectious around and no one does it better than Los Fabulocos. They are veterans of the Southern California music scene and on this CD they join forces with veteran blues guitarist Kid Ramos. The results are spectacular.  A remake of Rockin’ Dopsie’s “You Ain’t Nothin’ But Fine” brings a bit of Doug Sahm’s influence. Another Cajun classic Clifton Chenier’s “All Night Long” brings a new twist to an old classic. It is on a remake of the Rock N Roll Trio’s “Lonesome Train In My Eyes” that the Los Fabulocos demonstrate their rock roots. They dip into roots rock for a version of Lloyd Price’s “Just Because” that brings a new twist to a classic rocker. The two Jesus Cuevas original songs “If You Know” and “Day After Day” are brilliant examples of the genre. Covers of Huey Piano Smith’s “Dedicated Fool” and Rockin’ Sidney’s “You Ain’t Nothin’ But Fine” are classics with an original twist. Kid Ramos and Jose Cuevas provide vocals that make this a highly recommended CD. A great effort.
