Why Can't We Be Friends - War

Why Can't We Be Friends - War

No album epitomized the latin rock fusion sound than War's "Why Can't We Be Friends". The members of War grew up in Compton and although a culturally rich group, their roots in the Latino community were well represented in this album. It is one of my favorites albums and worth a listen if you want to expand your taste buds to a different sound. - Bluesdaddy

3 + 3 - The Isley Brothers

3 + 3 - The Isley Brothers

Some albums you just have to listen to over and over again. Albums that you remember from your past and marking a specific event in your life. 3 + 3 is one of those albums for me. I first heard "That Lady" on the radio and it has always stirred me to groove to that song. The cover of Seals and Croft's "Summer Breeze" is also as good as the original. This is a great summer album and the vocals are crisp and the band is very tight. All the band members are brothers with the exception of Chris Jasper who is a brother-in-law. If you love R&B like I do, you'll love 3 + 3. - Bluesdaddy

Los Lonely Boys - Los Lonely Boys

Los Lonely Boys - Los Lonely Boys

This sibling trio from San Angelo, TX finds it's inspiration from blues, Tex-Mex, rock, conjunto and tejano music. Henry Garza is both guitarist and lead singer of the three with an exceptional bassist in JoJo Garza and equally as talented is Ringo Garza. Their signature sound is rooted in their father's band the Falcones while they were growing up. They're unique sound in vocals as a chorus group is not to be underestimated. I first discovered Los Lonely Boys in 2003 when this album came out and I checked them out in concert at Gilley's in Ft. Worth and they did not disappoint. This is a must collection in your greatest albums list. - Bluesdaddy

Kenny Burrell - Blue Lights Volume 1 & 2

Kenny Burrell - Blue Lights Volume 1 & 2

I first heard Kenny Burrell after reading an article that he was one of Stevie Ray Vaughan's favorite artists. Kenny is a pure jazz guitarist who covers a wide musical spectrum. Have a listen, I'm sure you'll agree that Mr. Burrell is in a class all by himself! - Bluesdaddy
