The legendary Mexican-American five-piece ensemble Los Lobos has signed a new record deal with Shout! Factory and are set to release their 18th album. The group is also scheduled to hit the road for an unplugged tour. Celebrating 36 years together, the East L.A. vets are marking a new milestone with the commencement work on their 18th record, the highly anticipated debut on Shout! Factory and follow-up to the lauded 2006 release ‘The Town and The City,’ which drew four-star reviews from Rolling Stone, Mojo, The Independent, and many others.
Having assembled a body of work diverse enough to cripple most bands and to captivate press and fans worldwide since its inception in 1973, the genre-smashing Los Lobos make a perfect fit with Shout! Factory's elite, eclectic roster, which houses Rhett Miller, the Von Bondies, Richard Thompson, Tom Russell, and Matthew Sweet and Susanna Hoffs, among others.
In a press release, President of Shout! Factory Garson Foos stated: "We're honored to work with Los Lobos, a band that we've all been fans of for years, and that has a rich history of unbelievable music. We're thrilled to be releasing their next project."
Los Lobos also plan to hit the road for a group of select shows to show-off their acoustic talent.
