Los Lonely Boys

基本内容：很多人认识这个Los Lonely Boys乐队应该是通过2005年的格莱美奖，当时他们凭借03年首张同名专辑中的一首Heaven单曲夺得了最佳流行乐队/组合奖从而被更多的人所熟悉。时隔三年，乐队带来了他们的第二张录音室专辑Sacred。
Los Lonely Boys这支1996年成立于德克萨斯州的摇滚乐队，是由Garza三兄弟组成的，风格上他们将Blues, Soul, Country以及Tejano结合到一起，起初这三兄弟只是在他们老爸的乐队里唱歌，后来在老爸的帮助下才组成一个正式的乐队。03年首张专辑发行后乐队一举成名，2005年凭借那首Heaven夺得格莱美奖，2006年凭借More Than Love再获格莱美提名。
说实话之前并未对这张专辑报太大希望，但是事实显然出乎预料。这张将于7月18日发行的专辑共计13首歌，总长53分钟。开篇曲目My Way的吉他伴奏以及号角等乐器的加入使得歌曲的节奏非常轻快，歌曲快要结束的时候甚至出现了拉丁的节奏；Orale本来是作为专辑的名字的，后来被更好的Sacred取代；首支单曲Diamonds并非新歌，是98年一首老歌的重新录制；I Never Met A Woman是专辑中最柔情的一首；Roses的旋律非常动人，也是摇摇目前最喜欢的一首；Outlaws是三兄弟与他们老爸以及对乐队有重大帮助的Willie Nelson合作的；三兄弟参与了所有13首歌曲的创作。
