Where the spirit leads the feet will follow.
Down distant paths for unmapped miles.
Heads forget but hearts remember:
The art of living knows no bounds.

Los Lonely Boys Heaven

I really liked this band several years ago, then without me really knowing it, they fell of the radar. I haven't researched it enough to come to any informed decision on why they dissapeared, but Henry Garza was leaning into the SRV bluesy rock style of playing the Stratocaster, and it would have been nice to see him advance at that style. Still...Great stuff.
 
Update: Looks like they are still together and touring. https://loslonelyboys.com/
