Reminder: Cottonfields and Crossroads Opens

Just wanted to remind everyone that the Los Lonely Boys rockumentary opens today (Friday, Sept. 8). This sounds like an interesting movie.

"The film was four years in the making and captures a moment in time when the stars finally aligned in Los Lonely Boys' favor after years of struggle and hardship. It weaves a historical and cultural perspective on brothers Henry, JoJo and Ringo Garza, highlighting their Mexican American roots and musical influences. The Garza brothers come from a long line of working musicians- music has always been a way of life for them. Like work in the cottonfields, music also brought the family a means of survival. The film traces the early days as the young family band cuts its teeth learning from their father as he takes them to play in country bars and Mexican cantinas in and around San Angelo Texas. We travel with them to Nashville where they endure turmoil and heartbreak. These life experiences captured so eloquently by Galán's camera reveal a compelling portrait of a young band of brothers who against all odds, break out of poverty and find the American rock n roll dream."
