Before launching an acoustic tour in late 2009, Los Lonely Boys found time to return to the studio and record 1969, a short 'n' sweet homage to one of the most pivotal years in rock & roll.
The bandmates cover material by the Beatles, Santana, the Doors, Buddy Holly, and Tony Joe White, and they do so with clean (sometimes downright antiseptic) execution.
The Garza brothers are all comfortable with this genre, having grown up in a musical household filled with classic rock and Latin rhythms, but they rarely move beyond the songs' original arrangements.
As a result, 1969 is reverent but not quite rocking, and the substitution of spotless, well-scrubbed guitars for vintage grit only highlights the difference between this EP and its source material.
Los Lonely Boys are still a fine roots rock band, though, even when they're sounding less than inspired.
