I have a new fixation : Los Lonely Boys

Los Lonely Boys are the brothers Garza - Henry, who sings and plays the guitar, Jojo, who's on bass, and Ringo, who naturally, does the drums. A reviewer said Henry channels Stevie Ray Vaughn. On the CD sleeve, SRV was mentioned under "Sainthood" together with Richie Valens.

Los Lonely Boys is perhaps the antithesis to the manufactured pop groups who call themselves rock stars nowadays. Not one brother is good looking - they could very well be pumping gas in Tulsa. But they play honest-to-goodness, old-fashioned, choke-me-up rock. It's unfair but I'm going to compare them with early Carlos Santana - the Oye Como Va kind of Santana (Onda for example, sounds a lot like Jingo) with a dash of George Benson and Charlie Byrd thrown in.

It's a perfect antidote to my fixation with Jamie Cullum.
