5.0 out of 5 stars They May Be Compared to Many Artists, but..., July 9, 2004

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Los Lonely Boys (Audio CD)

I can't recall when the last time was that I actually just let a new cd play all the way through without skipping a track on the first play due to boredom or the track's lack of power to hold my interest...Los Lonely Boys debut is that extremely rare album. From the awesome guitar work to the melodic sounds such as found in the track Heaven this is the kind of music I'm always open to and crave; this is the kind of real artistry that is set apart from the kiddie music heard on pop-junk radio and video stations !From previous reviews they have been compared to everyone from Stevie Ray Vaughan (LLB even give him a thankful nod in the liner notes of the cd) to (as one reviewer said) Los Lobos. Hints of Santana? Maybe. What matters is that the music and lyrics are infectious from track one to the last track.Are there many musical influential styles? Absolutely. Everything from Texan blues, some country, to good ol' rock and roll from the days of Richie Valens and Elvis Presley. Plenty of Southwestern and some Californian (almost a la Dwight Yoakam) feel...The mixture of so many different influences is done to create such a unique and colorful panoramic style of their own that I do believe these boys stand out ! So what if these guys do become very famous. It won't mean that they are necessarily sell outs but that the commercial music industry has finally opened up it's eyes and ears to something that does not have a rap, hip hop beat or head banging trash-like influence on young cd buyers...

5.0 out of 5 stars These Guys are How Old?, May 22, 2004

By 

Veronica M (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Los Lonely Boys (Audio CD)

I bought this CD because of "Heaven" and to support my fellow Texan musicians. I expected to get stuck with a one-hit wonder CD. Not the case at all!!! These guys are incredible! You can definitely hear the SRV and Santana influences. But rather than just copying and combining sounds, the boys take their influences and build them into something fresh and highly addictive. I've owned this CD for 4 days and I'm already annoying my neighbor with it, playing it over, and over, and over.

Can't believe the boys are all under the age of 25. They've got a unity that can only come from walking out of the same womb with instrument in hand and immediately joining the family band. Tight vocals. Even tighter riffs. If they sound this great now, can't wait to hear them in 10 years!

5.0 out of 5 stars Los Lonely Boys kick major a**, June 22, 2004

This review is from: Los Lonely Boys (Audio CD)

Los Lonely Boys consist of the three Garza brothers: Henry on guitar, JoJo on bass, and Ringo on drums. This cd that they have made is one of the best cds to come out in a long time. It appeals to everyone. Just look at all of the positive reviews this album is getting on this site. They can't be pegged. When someone describes them, you'll get "Well, they sound like Stevie Ray, Santana, Ritchie Valens, Buddy Holly, and Willie Nelson all combined." That is the sign of a great band, when you can't paint them into a corner. From rockers like "Senorita" and "Real Emotions", to slower numbers like "More Than Love" and "Velvet Sky", this band mixes it up in a way that hasn't been done in years. The scary thing is, their hit single, "Heaven", is not even the best on the cd. That falls to either "Senorita", "Crazy Dream", or "Real Emotions." Just think what the Garza bros. have in store for us. It gives me goose bumps just thinking about it.
