Fusing good old fashioned rock and roll with brown-eyed soul, cumbia, boleros and norteno, Tex-Mex outfit Los Lobos (which translates to The Wolves) first gained commercial success and an international following when their cover of Ritchie Valens' La Bamba hit the top of the charts around the world in 1987. Experimenting with multiple genres over the decades, their wide-ranging sound has flourished in a variety of styles, from acoustic ballads to experimental rock. Whilst they may reinvent themselves constantly, their definitive fusion of Latin and American music remains at the creative core.

Unless you're The Dude, you probably dig the Eagles. They are the biggest selling American band in history after all. The band (sans some original members) are still performing to this day, but another option is to catch The Long Run, one of the country's best Eagles tribute bands out there. They've performed across the globe, and played on the same stage as the Bee Gees, America, Eric Clapton, and Shania Twain.
