EPIC 🎵 ​Los Lonely Boys - Heaven REACTION

[@rozequinn1519]

Guitarist Henry Garza wrote the lyrics as a prayer. When he was 18, his son died of sudden infant death syndrome (S.I.D.S). It's about the pain he felt and wanting to escape this world and see his son.

These guys are back touring this year after cancelling a bunch of shows in 2019 after bassist jojo announced he was leaving the band. These guys are three brothers from San Angelo TX.

I saw them at Fitzgeralds in Houston somewhere right around the time their first song hit the radio. They were so cool.

I can't find anything on why he's leaving. Any insights? I hadn't heard until this comment

I saw Los Lonely Boys open for Santana back in 2005 or 2006 and they KILLED IT! This song "Heaven" was a #1 hit and the audience back home in Detroit sang every word along with the singer, it was VERY cool😎

[@dennytaylor1005]

lucky!!!!

[@klasseact6663]

@@dennytaylor1005 yeah it was a great show and dare I say...Los Lonely Boys were the better band🤔 Maybe I'm a little jaded because Santana didn't go deeper into his catalog because he played his 3 go to's only as far as his "old stuff".

[@randomsteveh8373]

I was working the Santana rehearsals for that tour and the Los Lonely Boys came in on the day of the show. I think it might have been their very first big concert tour and their family was there and everyone was so excited, taking pictures backstage. The drummer had personalized drum sticks with "Ringo" on them and they now sit in my closet in a box of stuff from 22 years of concerts.

...Where are they now? This was an excellent Tex Mex Blues Band. They were great, I expected more hits from them. The singer/ guitar player is a natural. I have this CD (yes, I still listen to CDs), time to pull it out and give it a listen, it has been a while.

[@MsPrincesspaulina]

This song came out years ago around the time my wife died. It used to tear me up. I got through it now without tears. I don't know how far Heaven is but however far it is, is how far my wife is from me. Such a sweet opening guitar riff.

[@christinebowser709]

From what I've heard, this song had inspiration from the oldest brother's grief when he lost his infant son. 😪

[@kathybwell]

Oh that's tragically sad.

[@garyhughes2382]

Very Underrated group. More of a Latin R&B

[@julietate7806]

I was so very fortunate to have seen Los Lonely Boys open for Keb Mo at Atlanta's Chastain Park. They put on a show that ranks in my top 10 greatest live bands... and I have seen MANY in my 62 years. The album that "Heaven" came from is superb, cover to cover. Their Tex-Mex style has never been duplicated. The 3 brothers are out of San Angelo, TX, and they sing in both Spanish and English. Though I don't speak Spanish at all, it doesn't matter. Great music is great music, including opera, mostly sung in Italian. (Keb Mo is another singer / songwriter you guys should check out.)

[@ronkrupovich7152]

These guys are so talented! Saw them once in Ottawa at the BluesFest there. A friend of mine introduced them to me. Remarkable musicians.

[@MonicaDBrini]

This entire album is excellent.

[@coryhalmon3422]

I saw Willie Nelson in concert in San Angelo Texas and the Los Lonely Boys and their father came out and played three songs with Willie ( Heaven, Pancho and Lefty and Luckenbach ) if memory serves right it was March 2009. San Angelo is their hometown.

[@lizardluminals9324]

I haven’t heard this song in like 15 years and I just heard it on the radio and it just hit so much nostalgia. It’s crazy how we can remember songs that we haven’t heard in ages

I've been waiting for such a LONG time to heat a reactor to react to this group and this song! I've loved them since the early 2000's! My son actually got me listening to them!

Dancing was invented for music so good words can't describe it. "Yeah!!"

[@joesmith8725]

Speaking of Mexican Americans/Native Americans (yall just reacted to one of Redbone's songs), Los Lonely Boys is another great Mexican American (mestizos: Spanish/Native American mix) band, from the 2000s. From west Texas (San Angelo). This is like Tex Mex rock/Tejano rock, bluesy rock, kind of tropical/reggae influenced. Check out their other songs like "Diamonds", "More than Love" Lex is think the Cholo style of the band, lol. Cool.

A friend of mine and I used to go out on the road with Willie Nelson and help sell merchandise (long story) when we had off from our corporate jobs. One summer we were in California, in Los Gatos, doing shows at a winery and the boys were opening for Willie. We were in a motel and the boys were in the room above us, wrestling. Willie's security guy, LG, kinda scary ex Hell's Angel but a nice guy, was in the room next door, came to our room and asked us why we were making so much noise. We told him it was the boys wrestling. He went upstairs. It got real quiet after that🤣. That was a fun trip.

[@peterboddie3904]

One of my favorite songs. It was fun to watch your reactions and how much you enjoyed it. FYI - Los Lonely Boys is not LA culture, but from San Angelo in western Texas. It is a mix of rock and roll and cowboy and Mexican family culture all in one. Rare for rock and roll, this is also a Christian song. I am an older guy and grew up in the 60s and 70s on some of the songs you two are "discovering". The Los Lonely Boys have a bit of the 70s rock and roll style, and is one of the few new bands I listen to and have actually gone to see (twice). Once when they did their classic electronic rock, and once when they did an acoustic tour. The band is made up of three brothers, with the oldest playing lead guitar and vocals, the middle brother playing a six-string base and sometimes lead vocal, and the youngest playing drums and some background vocals. They are very tight and can rock with the best. However, the acoustic tour was even more amazing....pure rock and roll without any electronic enhancement. They also do some songs in Spanish. They are awesome. Thanks for your posts. I have enjoyed them. God bless.

[@sgnMark]

Used to cook for a bar in the hill country owned by Willie Nelson's stage manager and their dad used to come to drink there. Funny ass dude, he'd come in the back and tip me 20 bucks every night just to make him a ham and cheese sandwich. Never seen a man as proud of he was of his boys. Sound is probably a mix between reggae and country givin where they are from and where they recorded that album.

I like Brad's description of Heaven being a different dimension. I would like to add the little fact that our brain produces electrochemical energy. Energy never dies, it only changes form. The light from your lightbulb is changed into heat & that heat is dispersed perhaps trapped by clouds then changed into lightning or part of a raindrop that may nourish a plant that may feed another person. It might get down to protons/electrons, but that energy is still there.

[@jefferymckinstry7033]

[@lilamuzik3385]

I went to a 3 Dog Night Concert in Galveston. This was the warm up bands. I wanted a front seat so I was going to "get my place" but I was going to have to watch this band, and I'll admit it...thought " ok gotta get through some Mexican music which I like....but had NO idea I was going to be treated to some of the best music and guitar work ever. Got to talk to the Garza Brothers during a break. Told them I thought that they were going to be famous...and how wrong I was about what I thought I was going to hear". They laughed at me...and " said. Guess you thought you would hear a lot of Mexican cucaracha shit" . They told me how their daddy kept them out of trouble by teaching the boys to be musicians, and thar they had been playing gigs since they were babies in bars and venues for years. And whaddya know? That very year they win " Best New Artists" at the Grammys. I was so enthralled that I went to a concert in Houston. Only one of about 3 gringa girls, and I knew every word of their songs. The Hispanics there were so excited at how much I dug them. You really should see Henry play guitar behind his back. Amazing. I bought their concert DVDs. Play it often! Love this band!
