  1. While I’m really happy for Los Lobos they had a big hit with “La Bamba”, there’s so much more to that excellent band than this one song. Suzanne Vega was all the rage. This song and Tom’s Diner. Then, she kind of disappeared as quickly from the charts as she had appeared – of course, not unheard of in music. “Paper in Fire” remains one of my favorite John Mellencamp tunes. I also this “The Lonesome Jubilee” is one of his best.
