Just another band from East L.A., here's a nice Los Lobos tune to shake you up a bit. Co-written by Cesar Rosas and T-Bone Burnett, Shakin Shakin Shakes is a rocker. It features a couple of dueling solos, guitar vs harmonica in the middle, and guitar vs guitar at the end. The rhythm during the verses is similar but slower to that made by my washing machine...when it gets the shakes. The lyrics are all about things that shake: leaves on a tree, the ground during an earthquake, a woman dancing...and, of course, my washing machine.
Los Lobos means The Wolves in Spanish. So in the old TV show BJ and the Bear, Sheriff Lobo would be Sheriff Wolf. Maybe his full name could be Sheriff Oso Lobo, since oso is bear in Spanish. And Omar Sharif would be Omar Sheriff. Or Omar Oso. And now I have a headache. Nice.
