I'd Koko was their best too, but for someone who is still trying to get into them, it may be worth exploring that compilation first before diving into the albums in their entirety.

That comp is a great, great overview of their career up to that point, and will in turn send you to the right starting place/album depending on what pops out at you.

Just saw the do a spectacular free show at a city park amphitheater up the road from me in Houston. They said Cesar Rojas was under the weather, so he didn't play, but they more than made up for it in a situation where you could understand them taking a sleepwalk. Encored with "She's About A Mover" & "La Bamba" -> "Good Lovin'" -> "La Bamba".
