"What a fine album from "The Boys." They continue their Texican style with wonderful lyrics and great performances. Wow!"

Still Sensational Sophomore Songsters

"The musical landscape is littered with the waste of "one-hit" wonders who catch the public attention for their allotted fifteen minutes of fame, then fade to a career of headlining Holiday Inns. Since almost everything that appears on popular radio stations is pre-programmed by suit-wearing execs to be spoon-fed to lemming-like teenagers it makes real musicians take notice any time real musicians make it in the biz, especially if their music is roots-based.



The Brothers Garza (Henry on guitar and most lead vocals, Jojo on Bass and vocals and Ringo on drums and vocals) won a grammy for their initial album (for the surprising "Heaven") and bring their intense, and seriously fun, brand of Tex-Mex Tejano Bluesabilly to their sophomore album and they don't let up an inch. The tunes are just as good, and their performances just as inspired.



The CD opens with "My Way", and proceeds through one gem after another. Every track is worthwhile, but I'm particularly drawn to the spicy "Oye Mamacita" and "Texican Style", as well as the tribute "Outlaws" recorded with their father and special guest Willie Nelson."
