After moving back to Texas, the brothers recorded their eponymous
debut album in 2003 at Willie Nelson’s Pedernales studio in Austin,
with Willie himself guesting on the sessions. Although originally
released on small Or Music label, Epic Records picked up Los Lonely
Boys for major-label distribution in early 2004. The album quickly won
the band a large national audience. Its lead single “Heaven”
became a Top 20 pop hit, reached the #1 spot on Billboard’s Adult
Contemporary chart, and eventually won a Grammy Award for Best Pop
Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal. After a prominent guest
appearance on the 2005 Santana album All That I Am, Los Lonely Boys
solidified their success with 2006’s Sacred, which brought two more
Grammy nominations, and 2008’s Forgiven, as well as the
holiday-themed Christmas Spirit. Meanwhile, the band continued to
build its reputation as a singularly powerful live act. In early 2009,
Los Lonely Boys made their LonelyTone/Playing in Traffic debut with
the all-covers EP 1969, followed by the unplugged Keep On Giving:
Acoustic Live! Those releases set the stage for the band’s acclaimed
2011 album Rockpango, and for the creative leap forward that
Revelation represents. “We want to make music that brings people
together, not music that divides people,” Jojo states. “We’re
all about having a good time, but we also make an effort to write
about things that really matter. A lot of people write songs about
superficial things, like how you look and what kind of car you drive
and how much money you have, but we’re not interested in that. We
want to create music that’s about the love and the energy and the
spirit that we all carry as people.”
