Two years since their multi-platinum album debut and a Grammy Award for the smash hit "Heaven", the Los Lonely Boys are back with a new soul-driven album, appropriately entitled ‘Sacred’, which will arrive in stores everywhere July 18, 2006. With sweetly distinctive harmonies backed by pulsating Latin guitars, ‘Sacred’ is filled with catchy, uplifting chords packed into 13 songs, all co-written by the Texican brothers- Henry, JoJo, and Ringo Garzo- that cover a new range of subject matter with an unblistering new confidence. The Los Lonely Boys'' first single, "Diamonds", is heavily influenced by classic big band guitars and instrumentation that inspire a passionate courage to follow the song of your soul. The Los Lonely Boys have also added new instruments like the button accordion to their mix, evident in the hook-filled, fiery song "My Way". Other highlights on ‘Sacred’ include "I Never Met A Woman," the Boys'' most soulful ballad to date, the impossibly catchy lament of "Roses," and "Outlaws," a song which features two distinguished guest vocalists: LLBs mentor Willie Nelson, and their father, Enrique Garza Sr. Mr. Garza - a talented Tejano and country musician in his own right - taught his sons to play their instruments, and enlisted them to be his backing band from an early age. His appearance on Sacred brings the first family of Texican rock n'' roll full circle. ‘Sacred’ finds the band writing and playing with a new confidence, stretching their subject matter and arrangements on the album's thirteen songs, all of which they wrote or co-wrote. Sacred opens with the killer one-two punch of "Diamonds," the album's anthemic first single, and "My Way," a defiant guitar shuffle that reminds listeners why Guitar World magazine named Henry Garza the Breakthrough Artist of the Year in a 2005 cover story. "My Way" also finds LLBs adding a horn section to their signature mix for the first time. Elsewhere on the album, they add other new colors to their arrangements including button accordion, Hammond B3 and Fender Rhodes, Wurlitzer electric piano and Henry's virtuosic Harmonica playing.
