The wind blows through the valley
It's warm and hard and wild
It gets all up inside the trees
And shakes the leaves all night
They shake up through the mountains
They shake up to the sky
They shake up to the moon above
And then it starts to shine
And Lord it makes me tremble
And Lord it makes me tremble
They shakin' and shakin' and shakes
A fault runs through the valley
It's long as it is mean
It starts to tear into the earth
And gets all in between
It shakes up through the mountains
It shakes down to the sea
It shakes up to the volcano
And then it starts to scream
And then it starts to shine
And Lord it makes me tremble
And Lord it makes me tremble
It's shakin' and shakin' and shakes
There's a woman in this valley
She's sweet as she is rough
And when she starts to dance that way
She shakes the boys all up
She shakes it through the mountains
She shakes it through the night
She shakes it like a hurricane
She gives a blind man sight
And Lord it makes me tremble
And Lord it makes me tremble
She's shakin' and shakin' and shakes
It's warm and hard and wild
It gets all up inside the trees
And shakes the leaves all night
They shake up through the mountains
They shake up to the sky
They shake up to the moon above
And then it starts to shine
And Lord it makes me tremble
And Lord it makes me tremble
They shakin' and shakin' and shakes
A fault runs through the valley
It's long as it is mean
It starts to tear into the earth
And gets all in between
It shakes up through the mountains
It shakes down to the sea
It shakes up to the volcano
And then it starts to scream
And then it starts to shine
And Lord it makes me tremble
And Lord it makes me tremble
It's shakin' and shakin' and shakes
There's a woman in this valley
She's sweet as she is rough
And when she starts to dance that way
She shakes the boys all up
She shakes it through the mountains
She shakes it through the night
She shakes it like a hurricane
She gives a blind man sight
And Lord it makes me tremble
And Lord it makes me tremble
She's shakin' and shakin' and shakes

Got to see them a few years back in a 300 seat club, they were playing a big venue the next night (5000 seats), one of the best shows I had ever seen, of course standing 3 feet from the stage tainted my opinion.
This is good. But I like Bonnie Raitts version much better
I really thought this was a tribute to Michael Barratt.

Whomever gave this 10 should avoid scoring other tunes with immediate effect.

I respect Los Lobos, but sometimes they sound like they should be playing at some kid's backyard birthday party.

love their style and their sound. It's a good change of style every now and then. Like them when I'm stoned. Gets me moving

Just saw these guys in July at the OC County Fair in Southern California. It was a modest venue, but what a fun show.
They're from Southern California and they were playing to an audience that was packed with fans. People were dancing and knew every word - and the band sent all that love right back.
A definite treat.

Just don't like anything they do really.
Dumb lyrics, music not that interesting. They've done better.

Better than the umpteenth other covers I've heard of this.

A most versatile band. Birthday parties, major venues, heads of state. We can even pitch them to do a super rockin' en Espanol La Bamba to Trump's "I'm outta here going back to my yuge casino" farewell gtfo party.

Some hate going on for Los Lobos. Strange, I always thought they were a perfect Rock and Roll bar band. Love 'em.

6.6? It's easily an 8/9

Outstanding use of guitars playing off one-another.... Only a 6.6? C'mon people!! 
yay, rockabilly...

Mine too. It actually turned me off the band until I heard the amazing Kiko. I could barely believe it was the same band.
Nice to hear. This was my first introduction to Los Lobos back in the day. Thanks for the memories!!

Los Lobos have a lot of great songs. This ain't one of them.
The guitar at the end is nice, though.

That song doesn't rock or shake enough. 
Downrated this from 4 to a 2. This song really gets on my nerves.

Maybe you should go hide under a rock for that amount of time then? Perhaps we don't need an additional 7 years of your 'snarky' comments. Unlike you, apparently, I suspect that many of us - me for sure - don't need any additional negativity in our days. There is already more than enough to go around as it is. I suppose, though, that you think you are helping us idiots see the truth. If so, it didn't work - I'm still an idiot.
Easy buddy...

The unmistakable bluesy jangly sound of a Cesar Rosas song. I'm a Hidalgo/Perez man myself, but anything Los Lobos is good music to my ears.

Is it really possible this went 7 years between plays?
Could do with another 7 as well...

This one'd definitely get me on my feet! I love Los Lobos more and more all the time. 
For some reasons, I'm hearing shades of "Wake Up, Little Susie" (guitar) in this...
It took an earthquake to shake this one loose 
This song's a lot of fun if you're down front at the concert...

It never ceases to amaze me that songs get such a wide range of ratings so early. At this point there are only nine ratings and there is already a "2" and a "9". It seems that most songs out there with at least 25+ ratings have got a "1" and a "10". different strokes...
Edit:
Just updated to 10 after reading hater comments. :)
