VY I 专辑介绍:
G8__6v~ T-STM"~% It has become patently obvious that San Angelo, Texas' Los Lonely Boys
DMsqTB` have arrived at their true mainstream place in the musical order when
!e<2o2~. they can release a Christmas album on Sony. And what's not to like?
z8"1*V Everything the brothers Garza play is infected with pure bluesy groove
ReM]I<WuY and roots rock verve. The ten songs here are Garza-ized takes on
v9r.w- Christmas standards: "Jingle Bells," "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,"
:;hg :Q: "Away in a Manger," "Feliz Navidad," "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town,"
>lqo73gM9 "Carol of the Bells," and "Silent Night." The latter two are fine
RV{%@1Pu instrumentals. "Carol of the Bells,'" especially, is a deeply satisfying
c-(dm:
guitar and percussion workout that embraces not only hard rhumba
H<fi,"X^ drumming, but funk, Mexican folk music, and screaming blues-rock.
# }}6JM Hopefully, their version of "Run Rudolph Run" will make Chuck Berry
r^msJ|k8[ proud, with its rumbling upright piano and bassline, and Henry's guitar
>0ZG&W9 offering his best modern read of Berry's instrumental innovation on the
@|t]9 I-IV-V progression. But the real highlights here are the two originals
w0j'>4 that open the set. "I've Longed for Christmas" is a bona fide new
A g+B* seasonal tune with its warmth, soulful wah-wah guitar, and laid-back
