Los Lonely Boys - An American Success Story

Watching Los Lonely Boys: Cottonfields and Crossroads on PBS tonight, which is the story of this great band, I realized that they are truly an America Success Story. Music is in their family going back generations; their grandfather played traditional Mexican music, their father was a 'renegade' performer who brought COUNTRY music to his Mexican audiences in west Texas. These 3 brothers moved far beyond their Mexican roots to incorporate country, rock, blues, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Hendrix, etc. into their music and make it all their own.

Do yourself a favor and give them a listen: http://www.loslonelyboys.com/
