     The Silos' Cuba has become something of a low-flying classic since its
     release in 1987. The band's brand of rock & roll qualifies as pre-Uncle
     Tupelo alternative country, highlighted by the addition of Mary Rowell's
     violin. Despite the album's name, Cuba -- the island from which Walter
     Salas-Humara's parents fled -- never comes to the forefront. Instead,
     vocalist/writer Salas-Humara uses it as a symbol, a place in one's mind
     where everything comes together. While songs like "Tennessee Fire" and "She
     Lives Up the Street" have given the Silos a reputation for rock & roll,
     they also excel with gentler ballads. The acoustic "Margaret" is one of the
     album's best moments, highlighted by an acoustic arrangement and Dave
     Pearlman's steel guitar.
