Free Music Notes for Los Lonely Boys - Live at Blue Cat Blues
Free Music Review: Early and Hungry
Hit: 5 Stars
This cd was released on the heels of LLB's first national self titled Los Lonely Boys. I bought this when it was first released. It was recorded four years before they became house hold names. This was recorded on Nov. 30th, 2000 and they were the opening act for Andy Timmons. It is hard to hear the crowd reaction, but apparently LLB tore the house down.
I compare it to SRV Live, In The Beginning.
The version of this that I have has 16 songs in total. The first 3 were recorded for the annual SRV Birthday Jam on Oct.5th, 2000 and they are, Scuttle Buttin', Friday Night and I don't Want To Lose Your Love. All excellent. This was the first time they played in Dallas. They blew the house away and were asked to come back on Nov. 30, 2000. The version listed here has a 12 song set list, the cd I own also has a screamin' version of Pride and Joy by SRV. Not sure why it is left off this particular version, not sure why the first 3 songs are not included either????
It is easy to see and hear why these brothers have made it.
Diamonds in the rough, hungry to prove themselves and playing with soul. A real treat. TURN IT UP!!!!

LOS LONELY BOYS Live at Blue Cat Blues Blue Cat Blues
(Excerpts) - ...this raw, honest, rollicking example of the band's early days should be heard by its many fans.
The arrangements aren't quite polished, the vocal harmonies so integral to the band's appeal are still being formed, and the songs (nine of them previously unreleased) are on the derivative side.
But the sound, taken directly from the board, is as crisp as the best concert recordings, and the brothers' chops and interplay are evident even at this nascent stage. Their greasy blues and Latin influences are fully formed, and though the SRV comparisons are hard to shake, there's no doubt these kids have the talent to go to the next level -- as they did, in fact, on their Grammy-nominated recording that appeared four years later.
The set's centerpiece, though not its most compelling track, is the 11-minute slow blues "Cotton Fields and Crossroads," which, despite being a little too reminiscent of Vaughan's cover of "Texas Flood," reveals deep-seated blues roots. Interestingly, the real star here is not Henry Garza's guitar (at this point, it's too imitative) but brother Ringo's sturdy drums, which propel the songs and keep the band from descending into blues cliches. The crackling, youthful energy of Los Lonely Boys on these early live recordings is reminiscent of old Johnny Winter: barely contained and ready for prime time." full review originally written by: HAL HOROWITZ - BLUES REVUE AUG/SEP 2006
Free Music Review: Poor Quality Control
Hit: 4 Stars
The CD is very good. The problem I had is that I ordered a New CD from Amazon (Not an outside source) and they sent me a used one. It wasn't wrapped in plastic and the CD itself had marks on it. The case was also broken. The CD plays ok, but I was disappointed with their quality control.Free Music Review: Great CD!
Hit: 4 Stars
This was my first LLB cd, and the sound on all the songs is amazing, buy this cd!
