A Sonic Assault

For those of you into the blues, and specifically blues guitarists, do you often wonder whether or not there will ever be an heir to the throne? Someone who can take over the mantle of Guitar God as Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jimi Hendrix before him? Yes, I know I am waxing lyical here...

Anyway, I think we have found him.

Henry Garza of Los Lonely Boys.

You probably think of Los Lonely Boys and their breakout hit "Heaven", but if you care, you know there's more to them than that.

Personally, though I have never picked up a guitar in my life, the attached clip is a sonic masterpiece, an assault on the senses, raw, mean, nasty mind-fucking blues at its very, very best.

And if these guys are ever in town, I'm in.

"Cottonfields & Crossroads" live at the Bonnaroo Music Festival, 2004. Enjoy.
