 1969 GREAT YEAR, GREAT MUSIC Nov 14, 2009
I have really enjoyed this cd. Being a 60's guy, I believe that the 60's had the best rock music ever. Including many of the best bands in the history of rock.
Back to this CD, all the songs are really done well, like only LLB can. I would have loved a CCR song or two included, such as (Born on The Bayou)or(Suzy Q)from 1969. But really, they can probably do justice on hundreds of 60's songs, I've heard them do at least 20 of them in several of their early shows. This CD is great to have. Mix it with original LLB songs a see how well they compliment.
GET THIS CD, IT'S OUTSTANDING

These Garza boys never cease to amaze me! Oct 30, 2009
As a child of the 60's and 70's, I was anxious to get my hands on a copy of this CD. They did not disappont me! Of all five tracks, I have to say I was a little confused by the addition of "Well All Right", being a Buddy Holly tune. Holly died years before 1969... But the Garza Bros did the song justice nonetheless. My first impression was a good one, listening to Santana's "Evil Ways". I was glad they didn't take too much creative license with the song, out of respect for Carlos, of course. I really have to say they put their own unique signature on each one of the tunes on this CD. "She Came In Thru The Bathroom Window" was amazing and nostalgic. Tony Joe White's "Polk Salad Annie" I think was the one song I was most impressed with. It's hard to follow T.J. White, but it was done with total respect to his genre and back-woodsy Southern style. The last track, "Roadhouse Blues" had me dancing like I had good sense...I'm a "sorta old" lady... I don't dance that much anymore. What a joy it was to listen to a reprise of great music given the proper respect by these 21st Century musical geniuses!! Kudos to my Texas home boys! Los Lonely Boys ROCK!!!
 Where's the 4th album? Oct 23, 2009
I've been a serious LLB fan since 2004, have seen them live several times, they are an AMAZING live band - (watch their DVD "Live From Austin") and they are enormously talented musicians and singers. But I was surprised the band released this EP of cover songs. LLB can play nearly anything but I agree with RKocham that this release feels like a "stop gap" to prolong putting out their next album. The first album, "Los Lonely Boys", is a classic and they deserved all the accolades. It seems LLB is at an impasse. Will they keep their roots of rock/blues/tejano or will they go mainstream commercial? It will be interesting to see what they produce under the new label. "1969" is good, not great. Not so good: "Well Alright" and "Roadhouse Blues."
 Happy fun time EP Oct 20, 2009
We already know all these songs, but it's fun to hear their take on them.
And an excellent take as well! Fantastic musicianship with an easy groove and lots of wah pedal action.
What's not to like??

Not a bad little EP Oct 20, 2009
An interesting pick and mix of covers by LLB from 1969, this was probably meant to hold over the fans until their next full length comes out for PIT. I won't go through all the songs, and as a previous reviewer said, won't really win them any new fans. These covers sound good, have the trademark LLB sound on them, with those wonderful vocal harmonies. I don't understand why on the PIT website why Sacred is not even mentioned (except as the follow-up album to the self-titled release). I thought Sacred was a pretty solid release save for the filler tracks, Texican Style, One More Day, and Outlaws. Yet, the PIT website sings the praises of Forgiven, and tries to promote that album (?) Forgiven was a failure save for only having three "decent" songs being Heart Won't Tell A Lie, I'm A Man, and Cruel IMHO. Let's hope their new album will have them going in a direction that LLB want to go (like on their 1st album), and have free reign over doing what they want, and not what some big major label wants them to do...like Forgiven, and Chistmas $pirit!
