Ride This – The Covers EP is an EP by Los Lobos, released August 3, 2004 by Hollywood Records. It is a companion piece to the album The Ride, released three months earlier, which featured numerous guest musicians.

Reception

AllMusic rated the album three-and-a-half stars out of five, writing that "Los Lobos honor the spirit of the originals while putting their own spin on the material". Giving the same rating, Rolling Stone felt similarly, writing: "The band deftly rearranges the dynamics of each song ... the often exquisite results reveal new dimensions in every cut."
