just about any fan of great music. Get a slice now!!

That's right, these youngsters found the recipe for a near perfect slice of music. Combining heavy doses of guitar flair, with various percussion stylings and a vocal approach that also varies frequently, it is difficult not to like Los Lonely Boys.

As the record kicks off, we get a catchy little rocker that sets the pace for the rest of the record extremely
well. "Senorita" follows the recipe exactly. We get to hear the Boys touch on each ingredient ever so slightly. It's a song that will keep you singing all day long, too. Pace is something that many artists seem to forget about when they are assembling their records. The flow and continuity of a disc can add so much appeal to the songs when done correctly. This record is as good as any when it comes to pacing. Every song seems to compliment the one next to it. This kind of flow and sequencing provides the listener with a vehicle to travel from song to song, while never getting deprived of a particular tempo or style. After getting the "big package" on the opening track, we're set to hear each style stand on its' own now. As we move to the hit single, "Heaven", we get something that could possibly be called adult contemporary pop fare. A gentle pop song with an infectious hook, something Los Lonely Boys is getting real familiar with here. Songs like "Hollywood", "More Than Love", and "Nobody Else" all have great pop qualities with an adult contemporary feel. The attraction of this record lies in what the Boys do in between these pop gems, though. Sandwiched in here are songs like "Crazy Dream", which has reflections of the Stevie Ray Vaughan side of the band. "Dime Mi Amor" has an extra cup of Clapton and Los Lobos mixed into the recipe, with a rhythm guitar part running through it that reminds this writer of something Doobie Brothers-like. Toward the center of the album we get "Onda", in which the recipe suddenly calls for 95% Santana. "Onda" is an extended jam, with wicked guitar soloing, and fantastic Spanish-style percussion. Toward the last of the record, we get a Clapton inspired track called "Real Emotions", and we even get a song in the same vein as Journey's "Open Arms" to finish the record. "La Contestacion" is one of the few songs that is sung in Spanish, and it's a poignant lullaby featuring an excellent vocal performance.
Much like Los Lobos has done in the past, Los Lonely Boys have brought together the Blues Rock and Pop genres, and peppered them with traditional Hispanic overtones. The chief difference between the two bands is accessibility. Los Lonely Boys has crafted an lp that is sure to arouse a wide variety of music fans. Their pop hooks and soothing, soulful vocals make for a delectable chunk of appealing art. They may not be the pioneers that Los Lobos and Santana are, but they have extracted all the wonderful elements of each, and forged what should soon be a hit machine.

Many artists have this recipe in their musical cookbook, and many have tried to make a slice of musical ecstasy. Many have failed. Los Lonely Boys have not failed. As a matter of fact, they have re-written the rule book on how to cook up a sensational music feast. Los Lonely Boys use only the finest ingredients, ...their names are Henry, Jojo and Ringo.
