Farmer John from Native Sons by Los Lobos

A classic garage-rock standard penned by Don Harris and Dewey Terry, then made popular by The Premiers from San Gabriel, whose success began when their backyard rehearsals started drawing large neighborhood crowds.

Cesar: This time around we did it up—we took it uptown with the original Don & Dewey version. More R&B. Up-tempo.

Steve: This is one of the first songs I think I played with the guys, way back in the pre-historic age, and it’s a fun one to play. Shout out to East L.A.

Conrad: We used to do weddings with this song, back in the day.

Louie: One of our first singles was The Premiere’s version of this.

David: And every once in a while we’ll play the Neil Young version too!
