Rock and roots classics from Big Sonny & The Lo Boys, assembled by Jimmy Carl Black (ex-Frank Zappa's Mothers Of Invention).
The Lo Boys were formed in 1973 after Jimmy Carl Black
moved to Texas. After a few false starts, they finally made their recording
debut on the single "Play Your Music"/ "Funny Money" in 1976
on the small Goldust label. Those tracks make their CD debut here.
The band finally gelled in early 1979 with JCB's
addition of vocalist/guitarist Big Sonny Farlow, his brother Richard, lead
guitarist William Randolph Russ III (who joined in 1976) and percussionist Chava
Villegas.
Big Sonny & The Lo Boys decided to record an album
of songs they liked along with a couple of their own tunes. All of the original
album tracks on the Con Safo label are included along with the single-only
A-side "Love Me Two Times" (a Doors cover). The B-side of the single,
"Love Potion #9," later appeared on this album.
Big Sonny & The Lo Boys made a powerful statement
with "In Heat," which was mainly performed for their biker-based
crowds.
