Hoping Dr. Wu and his wife get to make it to this show. It's been a while since he's been on the board.

It's been 4 years that I know of that LLB and Buddy Guy have played on the same stage on the same day. IT was memorable for us in Houston when the boys played IFEST and Buddy Guy came on afterwards. Ahhhhh memories! :cool: Maybe they'll jam out "Mary had a little lamb" ... No JoJo - not the nursery rhyme! Silly! or "Leave my Little Girl alone". Y'all really have the potential to hear something really really special there. :cool:

[velvetsky0222]

Just got a call from Debbie. Oye Mamacita! ...could hear Henry singing and ALOT of screaming.....So happy for everyone there. Can't wait to hear about it. :cool: Thanks Debbie!

Buddy Guy, Los Lonely Boys: Guitar heroes at HOB

posted by JimAbbott on Apr 12, 2008 1:29:39 AM


It was a night for guitar heroes — and not the video-game kind.

Blues legend Buddy Guy and Los Lonely Boys, the latter powered by the fiery solos of legend-in-the-making Henry Garza, unleashed a stellar combination of blues, rock and Tex-Mex styles on Friday at House of Blues. It showed that you don’t need light shows or big video screens, at least when the musicians are capable of such fireworks.



Los Lonely Boys, the trio of brothers from San Angelo, Texas, make fine studio recordings, but none of them compares with the sparks that fly on stage.

Henry Garza, of course, is the catalyst. Wielding an assortment of Stratocasters, he conjured a sound that careened from Stevie Ray Vaughan to old-school R&B to something close to Carlos Santana. Often, the influences tumble into each other within the same song, or even the same solo.

That prowess is matched by his brothers — bassist JoJo Garza and drummer Ringo Garza. Together, they deliver songs that embrace the blues ("I Am the Man to Beat") or twist it into hard-driving Latin rock ("Oye Mamacita") or hooky pop ("Nobody Else").

Although the band’s marathon instrumental jam was technically impressive, the Boys really excel when they harnesses that skill in service of compact songs such as the signature "Heaven."

And the legend?

Guy’s guitar approach in his 80-minute set was lean and intense on rowdy favorites such as "Rock Me Baby" and "Hoochie Coochie Man."

In top form, as he was on Friday, he pits stinging solos with understated interludes that take things down to a whisper.

His skillful use of dynamics was showcased in "I’ve Got Dreams to Remember," a ballad that built from a flicker to a flame.

Of course, the guy knows how to show off, whether it’s taking his traditional stroll through the audience, using a hand towel on the strings to emit some wild feedback or playing "Sunshine of Your Love" holding the guitar aloft with one hand.

"This kind of blues don’t get played on your radio anymore," Guy lamented.

Fortunately, there are guitar heroes around to keep it alive.

It's good to the the music critics out there appreciating LLB. Hopefully, AAP will begin to archive these again. COOL! :cool:

[Tasina]

yep! legends in the making!!

Thanks for this Janene. .

and pat and debbie have been busy . . I got a call from each. . Loopies rock!

[cre8ivepoet]

LLb kicked butt in Orlando. Also went to the Tampa Blues Fest and caught them again with other Loopies - THEY ROCKED IT OUT!! Happy it was their last show for a bit, I'm sure! They had a cousin of theirs sit in on an electric accordian (it looks like an accordian without the piano key part, buttons instead). He was great!! He played in "Friday Night" one of my faves by the Garzas! Both nights were fantastic!

Our trip was nice! First our 3:30 pm flight got delayed till 5:30, so we got there at 8:30 and had to rent the car, etc, so we ended up getting there at around 11 PM. Nice 4 br, 3 bath Condo for $89/ nite! But we had a nice time, the show at HOB was great! We got to see "TampaGurl" which was a real treat we weren't expecting! Got to meet Janine, Devon, Kimann & Chuck & Michelle for the first time! It was really nice! I know we will all be seeing eachother again after that great show left us wanting more! No cameras (which sucked), I became the camera girl, bringing all the cameras to the check in booth, while the others ran to the front of the stage. Saw Ian, and said HI. The boys were there in full force, awesome as usual! They lit the house on fire. You know that they KNOW HOW TO DO IT!!! They started out with Crossroads by Clapton. Good song. Jojo was smiling at us. Kristen made a sign that said "Massachusetts loves Los Lonely boys!" Right before "Heaven" I had a sign that said "Play one for Bela" and Jojo saw it, and started pointing to the floor saying This one's for her! That was so nice. He really is a awesome person. I brought about 100 glow sticks, and it was cool! But the boys didn't come out after. Buddy Guy is REALLY FUNNY! He's like a comedian! Really a great entertainer, and musician. I wish I could have got pics with them all. Overall a great night, and the boys were UNBELIEVABLE!! I want MORE!!! I guess I'll have to wait for August in Va. & NYC! Oh, and NO JAM with Buddy & The boys... :(
