Los Lonely Boys

Media coverage reviews, etc.

Chicanos (Mexican Americans) are often compared to mainland Uchinanchu (Okinawa people). I do it sometimes too. I think if you do this too lightly, you'll step on a minefield. But, if you go by that tradition, Los Lonely Boys are comparable to BEGIN, Parsha Club, Yona, and Toru. The father of the three Los Lonely Boys brothers was a first-generation immigrant who was a well-known folk/traditional song musician, and the brothers from BEGIN onwards were also raised in an environment where they were exposed to Okinawan folk songs. He has been familiar with traditional instruments since childhood and has extensive experience in local singing venues, but he is also greatly influenced by rock and folk through the media, and is also able to move freely between the language of the community and the standard language. The same goes for the fact that the taste of the songs is not as good as those of the older generation, but I think that the expressions of the new generation and new era make up for it. The band's name, which is a mixture of English and Spanish, is an unusual and dashing sense of humor (as is the band's name, Parsha Club). This work is nominated for four Grammy categories. The melancholy and chivalrous acoustic guitar intro of (1) will immediately strike a chord with roots rock fans. (2), which ranked No. 1 in the US, is a 60's pop-rock style song with a dusty electric solo that leads to a refreshing chorus. There's a bit of Steve Winwood in there. (3) sounds a bit like a British mod, but before you know it, it transforms passionately into Texas blues rock. Well, there's nothing new in terms of method. Yes, Oyaji Rock. Despite this, what is this "magnificent freshness"? Even when he sings in English, what is the spirit of this Latin date guy that is always evident? ...It may seem sudden, but this reminds me of BEGIN's ``Tears, So Sou.'' It is often said that the three generations of Shimauta have a tradition that suddenly comes back to life, not in the details of the words or melody, but in the center. The term "Oyaji Rock" will soon cease to be a derogatory term. (Takeshi Osuga) --- March 2005 issue -- Contents (from "CD Journal Review")
