Louie Pérez is a master musician and innovative visual artist who has spent the last forty years as founding member and principal songwriter for the internationally acclaimed group Los Lobos. Working with his songwriting partner, David Hidalgo, Pérez has written more than four hundred songs. "Joyride" journeys through 17 of those songs, as well as 21 spoken-word presentations of Louie's original poems and stories, uniquely recorded by fans and friends of Louie's "on phones, on porches in the rain, in the studio, whatever." Musicians include Hidalgo, Mitchell Froom, Vonda Shepard, John Doe, Jackie Greene, Rick Treviño, Doyle Bramhall II, Syd Straw, Los Texmaniacs' Max Baca and Josh Baca, and such literary stars such as Poets Laureate Luis J. Rodriguez and Grant Hier, novelists Luís Alberto Urrea and George Saunders, actors Rose Portillo and Ser Anzoategui. The result is an instant classic of authentic Americana. Double-CD set. Proceeds benefit Tia Chucha's Centro Cultural & Bookstore, and the CD complements Louie's new book of poems and stories entitled "Good Morning, Aztlán." Jump in! It's a fun ride.
