Steve Earle and Los Lobos release their first collaboration together with the song “Volver A Celaya.” Both artists are described by outlets as long-running Americana and roots-music figures with extensive careers dating back to at least the 1980s. While they have a shared background and have toured together over the years, they have not previously collaborated on a release. The new track is presented as a long-awaited connection between two institutions that have played alongside each other on many occasions but only now come together formally in the studio. The releases and commentary surrounding the track frame it as the latest step in their relationship, effectively turning previously shared roots and stage history into a new, joint piece of music. The reporting does not add additional specifics beyond their prior touring history and the fact that this is their first collaboration.
