DVD Review: Los Lonely Boys Cottonfields and Crossroads
Tuesday February 13, 2007
Los Lonely Boys Cottonfields and Crossroads is a heartfelt documentary full of family, tradition, struggle and, finally, success. It follows the three Garza brothers - Henry, Jojo and Ringo - from their roots in the San Angelo, TX barrio through the present day. The documentary is a story of a Mexican-American family that captured that elusive, American dream.
But, most importantly, it is a documentary full of the wonderful, unique music that has made Los Lonely Boys so popular.
Comments
This is one of the best documentary films I’ve seen in a long time. Los Lonely Boys overcame poverty and discrimination as children while learning music to rise to the very top of the music industry with their beautiful Grammy winning song “Heaven”.
The film is an inspriation for young Hispanics and will certainly encourage many musicians to “Never give up on your dreams”.
