Desperado: The Soundtrack

one of the best soundtracks i own.most of the songs here are from los lobos,and on one song even antonio banderas sings.the other songs are "six blade knife" by dire straits,"jack the ripper" by link wray and his men. two of the best songs in any music category.most of the songs jamming and the rest are worth listening to.you also get dialogue from the movie from banderas,cheech marin,quentin tarantino,and steve buscemi.great soundtrack.

Cancion Del Mariachi, Six Blade Knife, Jack the Ripper, Strange Face of Love, Navajas Attacks and Let Love Reign are the main highlights for me, though just..every track on here is great.
