Prior to selling millions of records, touring with Willie Nelson, Carlos Santana, and the Rolling Stones, and winning a Grammy for the hit single “Heaven”, the brotherly trio of Los Lonely Boys was just another bar band playing small stages across Texas hoping to someday get their “big break”. In late summer of 2000 the band secured its first ever show in Dallas at a “Stevie Ray Vaughan Birthday Jam” presented by Blue Cat Blues, a local venue. Kevin Wommack, the band’s manager called the venue to ask if they would take a chance (sight unseen and unheard) on three young brothers from West Texas – his heartfelt words, “I know you will love them” somehow struck a chord and, with a leap of faith, the boys were added to the show. The rest, as they say, is history.
The boys’ jaw- dropping performance that evening was captured on Los Lonely Boys - Live at the Blue Cat Blues (Blue Cat Blues Records), a rare collection set for release on February 14, 2006. Recorded live in an intimate club setting, the CD exhibits the explosive energy of Henry Garza's guitar playing in contrast to the smooth harmonizing vocals of a young band of brothers primed and destined for success. The twelve-track disc contains nine previously unreleased songs, several off which, have since become staples of LLB’s live stage shows.
In an era of overly produced radio mixes, this no-frills, no gimmicks bluesy blend of good old rock n roll is a refreshing alternative and offers a bonus backwards glimpse into the early development of Los Lonely Boys’ unique signature sound that they call "Texican Rock and Roll". Incidentally, the performance presented in its original form was recorded at Blue Cat Blues the day after the passing of the Boys’ grandmother. The entire set that evening was dedicated to her memory. Los Lonely Boys – Live at the Blue Cat Blues is a unique collection of unadulterated raw emotion.

STL Blues Review - by Peter "Cornbread" Cohen, CBP
"Hearing a live recording before the Los Lonely Boys "got big" is a treat for a fan. It ranks right up there with hearing the Beatles early pre-1964 recordings from the Cavern Club. Wow! 79 minutes of music to my ears!!! I like that every song is the opportunity to jam. My guess is the folks attending either of the above shows were instantly sucked into LLB fan base feeding on their raw energy, harmonizing vocals and musical abilities. The rest as they is history." - STLBluesometer 5 of 5
"Great Live CD! Better than the Fillmore Live CD... get this 1st over all other recording by this band." - J. R. Sategna, Amazon.com
"This is a great CD with great sound and songs. This was recorded when the band was hungry for popularity and it sounds like it. Great vocals-great separation and great guitar... I would get this 1st over all over recordings by this band- the three brothers rock!" - 4 Stars
"Los Lonely Boys Rock!" - Kimmy K, Amazon.com
"Awesome CD. The right mix of rock and blues. It reaches out to those who have yet to discover the talent of this young group. As for the rest of us, the "Live at Blue Cat Blues" CD is a great addition to our LLB library." - 5 Stars
"Pure Raw Energy!" - Lakota Harden, Amazon.com
"This CD recorded live in a small club setting displays the raw energy of Henry Garza's guitar playing. Their original songs are smooth and pure. Their rock n roll /Latin roots in a blues blend brings out a venerability that takes us deeper into the magic of what guitar playing does to your soul. These boys can sing, all three of them, with passion. Their orchestrated bass work, lead guitar, drumbeats and powerful vocals show that they've been playing wholeheartedly, pouring themselves into these instruments, like a sacred agreement was made when they first picked them up. In this era of overproduced tech tracks being sold everywhere, Los Lonely Boys (live at) Blue Cat Blues is a refreshing dip into their unique version of what they call "texican rock and roll". - 5 Stars
