MR

I'm not sure how many of you are familiar with the Los Lonely Boys (Henry, Jojo, and Ringo Garza) or perhaps their smash hit, "Heaven" from a couple of years ago, but at any rate, they are from here, San Angelo, Texas. Their dad lives about two blocks from where I work. Anyway, as I was taking my afternoon "break", you know, driving around the block 3 or 12 times, I drove by Papa Garza's house with his boys' new cd, FORGIVEN, blasting out of my car. He was outside in his driveway--he smiled real big and waved. Just my ever so small brush with celebrity today.......the Boys will be signing their new cd at our local Wal-Mart tomorrow night. They hope to recapture the success of their first cd which went double platinum and won the Boys a Grammy.

Henry Garza's a great fucking guitarist...the band is amazing and their harmonies are damn fine!
Great band!!

Yeah, pretty much.

Great band! Believe it or not, I'm hearing their new song as I type – they're playing it on XPN. Love it!

My only gripe with them – and I believe I said it here before – is that their drummer's name is Ringo.
Any professional drummer who thinks it's cool or cute to name themselves Ringo should be beaten.

Deport them.

Saw them a few months back out here and it was one of the BEST shows I have seen EVER...they rock and they don't mail it in....they had Pop in tow and he came out and did Outlaws with them...

First time I saw them was at a record store acoustic show here and they just blew me away.

VERY talented dudes there! the real deal for sure...

That's the name his papa gave him! I learned that on the LLB/ Ronnie Milsap CROSSROADS (which kicked my ASS btw)

LLB are one of the finest live acts I've ever seen. Saw them in a club about 4 years ago, and they just freaking rocked! Henry is really chanelling SRV!

Two words : LOVE THEM.

Cool website... http://www.loslonelyboys.com/

They are playing a lot in the Austin/San Antonio area. I'd like to see them.

yup me too, Tom.

they opened for Willie Nelson and Willie had them join him onstage, with Daddy in tow. Henry turned every song into a blues guitar jam, including Amazing Grace. good thing, cuz willie was stanky that night--he sounded awful. coupled with the fact that i hate country. they played for a very long time. I had to leave, believe it or not.

yeah Willie plays here a lot....Maui loves him but...he just kinda mumbles thru his songs...I think maybe he DOES mail it in but he performs at just about any charity event they ask of him out here...

awesome band, just check there statis, ans im not taking about there gayness

Ah. Well....ok then. I just thought it was too ironic to have a drummer named Ringo.

They rawk and Henry can bring it big time.

Henry is an absolute MONSTER!!!

Great Band! Loved the first CD, a little disappointed with the second one, and haven't had a chance to pick up the new one yet.
I got their live DVD from Austin a couple of years ago- really good stuff. The part where Henry and JoJo are playing the same guitar was amazing.

The new cd is much more in the vein of the first one--you'll like it-btw, the Wal-Mart version has two extra songs on it, but if you order it from Newbury Comics, you get a free autographed cd sleeve with it-

Los Lonely Boys will be on Jimmy Kimmel Live for an Indoor Mini-Concert on Wed Jul 23, 2008. It will air in most places on July 24th. I've got a ticket for the show! I love the second cd. I tivo'd the Crossroads with Ronnie Milsap, it's great.

'fraid not. "Is" refers to the one person therefore it remains singular.

They recorded their first CD at Willie's studio. He is instrumental in their success...

Great, great band. I had no idea they were releasing a 3rd CD. I admit the 2nd one didn't get as much play. I htought it was good, but it didn't stick like the first one. I thought it had more to do with the fact that I didn't hear them playing everywhere!

What would you say is the difference between the first one and the second?

Met the Boys last night at Wal-Mart here in San Angelo. Got a couple of copies of the new one signed. Good, good stuff. More cross-over/accessible than the second cd, much more in the vein of the first one. Under $10 at Wal-Mart, hard to beat, plus the Wal-Mart version has two extra songs on it--
