 After
a childhood of playing cantinas and honky tonks from Texas to
Tennessee, Los Lonely Boys rocked their way to the top of the
American music industry, determined to fulfill their father’s
long held dream. Los Lonely Boys Cotton Fields and Crossroads
tells the story of three Mexican American brothers from San
Angelo Texas who are creating a unique sound that melds the
core of the early San Angelo music scene of the 1950s and 1960s
with a signature style they call “Texican.”
Acclaimed
documentary filmmaker Hector Galan, also from San Angelo, fuses
exciting live performances, vivid imagery of West Texas, and
intimate personal stories in this feature documentary. Galan
started working on the film four years ago and was able to capture
a magical moment in time when the stars finally aligned in the
boys’ favor after so many years of struggle. Los Lonely
Boys Cotton Fields and Crossroads is a heartfelt and moving
account th at brings to
life Los Lonely Boys’ incredible personal musical journey.
