Los Lonely Boys
In the three years since Or Music introduced Los Lonely
Boys to fans around the world, everything has changed for the unique and
gutsy musical hermanos from West Texas. And yet, nothing has. Sacred,
Los Lonely Boys' eagerly awaited second album, both continues and expands
upon the trio's self-titled debut, with its deeply personal and stunning
fusion of electric blues and Texas roots, of soulful grooves and good
old-fashioned rock'n'roll, of searing six-string licks and Latin beats.
"New times, new songs, new rhythms," says frontman Henry Garza.
"But it's still basically, Los Lonely Boys."
Working once again with producer John Porter (Keb' Mo, Ryan Adams, B.B.
King) at good friend Willie Nelson's Pedernales Studios, the band recorded
Sacred with the euphoria of their debut's success-over two million copies
sold, a Grammy for the monster single "Heaven-still fresh. But if
the brothers' heads were sometimes spinning, their feet stayed on the
ground. From the plainspoken humility and achey-sweet guitar of album-opener
"Diamonds" to the funky, chunky "Oye Mamacita" to
the cinematic credo "Outlaws," Los Lonely Boys have delivered
not just 13 extraordinary songs, but 13 affirmations of what they feel
is truly Sacred: being yourself, being true to God and family, and being
true to music... "Texican Style."
Los Lonely Boys' beginnings, from an early gig at Austin's Saxon Pub to
the first time they heard themselves on the car radio, can now be seen
firsthand in Cottonfields and Crossroads, veteran PBS filmmaker Hector
Galan's intimate documentary about the band, which premiered at the 2006
SXSW Film Festival and is now playing around Texas. The movie, which culminates
with all the band's post-"Heaven" success, is just one of a
zillion things Los Lonely Boys have added to the resume the past few years.
They won five Austin Music Awards in 2004, and followed that with a prime
slot at the Austin City Limits festival. They released a live CD (Live
at the Fillmore) and DVD (Texican Style: Live in Austin). Henry cemented
his reputation as the latest greatest Texas blues guitarist when Guitar
World named him 2005's Breakthrough Artist. They've shared a stage with
Tim McGraw, the Rolling Stones and Dylan; at one of Neil Young's Bridge
School benefits Henry even got to strum the Beatles-inspired "My
Loneliness" to Paul McCartney himself. They also opened for Carlos
Santana and cut their song "I Don't Wanna Lose Your Love" for
his album All That I Am. And as headliners themselves they took out kindred
spirit like Los Amigos Invisible and deSol.
Then of course, there were the 2005 Grammys, where the band opened the
show, won for best Pop Vocal Duo/Group and were also nominated for Best
New Artist, Record of the Year and Best Rock Instrumental. Henry says
they actually felt a little out of place, "but we loved that we were
acknowledged. There are a lot of people that don't really get chances
in this world. We really felt that all of them won that Grammy. To see
brothers like us, from where we come from, and even our race, do what
we do and cross boundaries like we did... I think it's really cool for
people see to see a Mexican-American... an American dream come true. Anybody
that knows us knows how hard we worked to get where we are today. You
don't get success or get good at something without trying your best and
giving it all you've got and believing in yourself."
