INCLUDES LIVE VERSIONS OF- I DONT WANNA LOSE YOUR LOVE (Just released on Carlos Santana's new CD ALL THAT I AM), HEAVEN, COTTONFIELDS & CROSSROADS 12 Incredible Tracks! 70 Minutes of Musical Bliss! Recorded November 2000, one day after the passing of the Boys grandmother. The entire set was dedicated to her memory. This CD drips of emotion. There's something about the unstudied perfection of sibling vocal harmonies that creates a distinctive, irresistible style. Los Lonely Boys, three brothers, from a tiny town in West Texas, are about to write a new chapter in this compelling saga of America's musical families. They began as their father's backing band. Now, Los Lonely Boys will make their own mark. Los Lonely Boys are the three Garza brothers- Henry on guitar, Jojo on bass, and Ringo on drums. This remarkable trio of brothers has been making music together since they were small children and now has a decade of professional experience under their belts as well. Los Lonely Boys write, sing, and play music drawn from diverse sources, blending their influences into a seamless style. Weaned on Tex-Mex, country, blues, and rock pioneers like Richie Valens, Chuck Berry and Fats Domino, and such pop music giants as The Beatles, Los Lonely Boys augment those solid basics with red-hot guitar playing, percolating rock and Latin rhythms, and dynamic interplay and luscious vocal harmonies - all three brothers also sing - to produce songs rife with engaging hooks, expressive lyrics, and melodic sumptuousness. My dad was always into rock and country apart from playing conjunto music. We listened to our dad more than the radio. -He- was our biggest influence. We looked forward to the chance to get up with his brothers and sing 'La Bamba.' We were into oldies like Richie Valens, Chuck Berry, none of the stuff that was being played on the radio. I just wanted to write my own songs, man - I wrote my first song when I was four years old. I went into my room when I first got it and put a couple of notes together just by ear, found a way to play it, wrote some lyrics, then I showed it to my dad. I got this idea and I wrote a song called 'She Left Me.' It's just got a few lines in it. Henry's middle brother Joey aka Jojo also began playing guitar before switching to piano and then, finally, bass. The family band became complete when younger brother Ringo picked up playing the drums. When Ringo was nine my dad gave him a drum set, Henry recalls. I taught him to play it and he learned in like 30 minutes man, it was like it was meant to be. And since Ringo is his real name, that's freaky, right?!! He's been playing ever since. Solidified as a trio, the band developed a reputation as one of the most exciting live acts on the extremely competitive Texas and Southeast circuit, but the years of studying the classics allowed Los Lonely Boys to develop their superior vocal and songwriting skills as well. We got our harmonies from listening to our dad's brothers' band, Henry says. He taught us and we learned by listening to him, just by ear, we never took lessons or anything, he just told us the sky was the limit so we would just listen and listen and listen and kept playin' and learnin' and practicin' through our whole childhood, never stopping. The brothers never even bother to arrange their spectacular vocal harmonies. We just fall into place automatically, Henry says. When we're writing a song, if I'm writing Ringo will just automatically sing the harmony and Jojo will come in with his. It just comes out. It's kind of freaky cause it's kind of magical, man, we're all three brothers and we all have a deep passion for music. When we play together it's spontaneous, it's so natural. It's kinda crazy, we're like the Mexican Beatles, Henry concludes. People always ask us what kind of style we play. I tell 'em it's a cross between Stevie Ray meets Santana, Jimi Hendrix meets Richie Valens, or the Beatles meet Ronnie Milsap. I call it my music burrito theory. What we've done is made like our own tortilla, right, with all the knowledge of all the greats that are out there, I can't even think of 'em all right now, but we put 'em inside the tortilla, fold it up in there, we make our own burrito and we're sellin' it to the world, y'know?
