Music Reviews of Los Lonely BoysMusic Review: Simply Amazing Rating: 5 Stars
This CD is in my player 24/7. I haven't listened to anything else on CD since I've bought it. I 've got to have that LLB every day. Every song on the CD is great, so it's hard to choose a favorite. I just love it all.
This trio of brothers are tight and their vocal harmonies will impress you. If you love great guitar like Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, and Johnny Winter, than you will love Henry Garza. Henry is such a natural and has been playing since he was 4. JoJo Garza is Bass player of the Year and rightly so. Ringo Garza is an excellent drummer and has the perfect name. All 3 are so talented and their music is amazing.
At the Austin Music Awards this cd won Album of the Year. They also won Band of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Rock Band, and prev. mentioned Bass Player of the Year.
Music Review: listen up Rating: 4 Stars
LLB rock with a talented young trio of brothers who can actually write, sing, and play. Their CD is a refreshing reprieve from the usual fluff dominating the airwaves. In fact, it is rumored that the band had trouble finding a record deal...wonder why the industry is in trouble? My extensive CD collection includes Los Lobos, Santana, and SRV among my favorites, and yes, there is room for this CD, too. Was not too impressed at first listen, but got hooked after another couple of spins. The CD features soaring vocal harmonies, virtuoso guitarwork and tuneful melodies. The bass and percussive lines seem a bit understated, but not enough to detract from enjoyment. Overall, an excellent CD, and hope for a little harder, bluesier effort next time. Also, the Boys can really knock it out in concert...catch them live if you can.
Music Review: Finally, REAL Music! Rating: 5 Stars
This is the best CD I have heard/bought for many years. It is very rare to hear this type of beautiful music on the radio. When I first heard "Heaven", I took notice. Than I heard "Dime Me Amour" and I was sold on this Band. I knew nothing about them at the time. When the CD arrived, I couldn't believe my ears. I LOVED every single song on this CD. The more times I hear these songs, the more I love them. Henry Garza is one of the BEST I have heard on guitar. He does sound like a combination of Stevie Rae Vaughn and Carlos Santana--thank God for it! I hope to have these guys around for a long time to come.
I have just ordered "Blue Cat Blues". It still has not arrived; but if it is half as good as the self-titled CD, I am in for a real treat. I recommend this Band without reservation.
Music Review: This band ended my boycot of new music! Rating: 5 Stars
I have been collecting much older music rather than buying the new stuff because there are few new artists that interest me. Los Lonely Boys interest me because they are great musicians, singers and performers while in concert (toured with Santana). Their sound is familiar and very catchy without being a tribute band. Maybe not for a Delta Bluesman, their music is played on Rock, Pop and Country music stations.
I purchased this CD and began to sample similar artists from their recent releases of the last 5-10 years. I had been enjoying Jonny Lang and Kenny Wayne Shephard and recently purchased more CD's. The Artists; Arc Angels, Doyle Bramhall II, Chris Duarte, Joe Bonamassa, Indigenous and Derek Trucks have some great newer releases.
Give this CD a try if you miss the great music of the past.
Music Review: in a word...wow Rating: 5 Stars
I haven't heard a new album by a new artist in years that I've loved every song and enjoyed the entire album start-to-finish, over-and-over. I think LLB is my favorite new band.
Great songs, great vocals, great guitar, and great grooves. Henry, Jojo, and Ringo have such a fresh sound, and it still sounds seasoned. I very nicely honed blend of R&B, blue-rock, pop, country, and Mexican rock stylings. I just put the album and start listening. Song after song, its a very enjoyable experience. "Heaven", "Dime Mi Amor", "Hollywood", "Nobody Else", and so many others. I've seen interviews with the band and the CMT special with Ronnie Milsap. It seems the group is really humble and straight-forward about they do. I can't wait to see them live soon.
I highly recommend this album.
