FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 13 JULY 2006
GRAMMY-WINNERS DELIVER THEIR MOST CONFIDENT, COMPELLING SONGS TO DATE ON ‘SACRED’ SET FOR JULY 18 RELEASE ON OR MUSIC/EPIC RECORDS
ALBUM GUESTS INCLUDE LLBs MENTOR WILLIE NELSON AND PATRIARCH ENRIQUE GARZA SR.
LLBs TO LAUNCH MAJOR U.S. TOUR IN JUNE
Since their worldwide breakout two years ago, Texican trio Los Lonely Boys - brothers Henry, JoJo and Ringo Garza - have achieved multi-platinum album sales, a Grammy Award (their monster hit ‘Heaven’ won Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group in 2005), and widespread acclaim from critics, fans and other musicians. All those experiences and more inform their commanding, propulsive new album, ‘Sacred,’ set for July 18 on Or Music/Epic Records. (for photos & music: www.dbaronmedia.com)
‘Sacred’ finds the Boys writing and playing with a new confidence, stretching their subject matter and arrangements on the album’s thirteen songs, all of which they wrote or co-wrote. ‘Sacred’ opens with the killer one-two punch of “Diamonds,” the album’s anthemic first single, and “My Way,” a defiant guitar shuffle that reminds listeners why Guitar World magazine named Henry Garza the Breakthrough Artist of the Year in a 2005 cover story. “My Way” also finds LLBs adding a horn section to their signature mix for the first time. Elsewhere on the album, they add other new colors to their arrangements including button accordion, Hammond B3 and Fender Rhodes, Wurlitzer electric piano and Henry’s virtuosic Harmonica playing.
Other highlights on ‘Sacred’ include “I Never Met A Woman,” the Boys’ most soulful ballad to date, the impossibly catchy lament of “Roses,” and “Outlaws,” a song which features two distinguished guest vocalists: LLBs mentor Willie Nelson, and their father, Enrique Garza Sr. Mr. Garza - a talented Tejano and country musician in his own right - taught his sons to play their instruments, and enlisted them to be his backing band from an early age. His appearance on ‘Sacred’ brings the first family of Texican rock n’ roll full circle.
