Los Lonely Boys Guest on 'Jimmy Kimmel,' HBO's 'Hard Knocks'

With a trio of fun things suddenly on the plate for Los Lonely Boys -- an appearance on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' tonight, a taping for HBO's 'Hard Knocks' with the Dallas Cowboys this weekend and a Wal-Mart-only DVD release currently on shelves -- Spinner asked the boys to discuss all of them. Obliging, guitarist Henry Garza replied, "If we could get Jimmy Kimmel and Jerry Jones [the owner of the Dallas Cowboys] together with Los Lonely Boys for a shopping spree at Wal-Mart, then that would be a HBO special all to its own." It's funny because it's true (although we can't vouch for drummer Ringo Garza's assumption that he's going to "beat Jimmy Kimmel again today in arm wrestling, since he's a wimp").

In the meantime, following 'Jimmy Kimmel Live,' Los Lonely Boys will continue their 'Brotherhood Tour' with Los Lobos. The Boys' new CD, 'Forgiven,' is currently available at all the regular outlets, but a live DVD recorded at the legendary Fillmore in San Francisco is available only at Wal-Marts across America. Bassist JoJo Garza doesn't mind the corporate partnership: "Henry's wife used to work at a Wal-Mart in San Angelo, Texas -- our hometown. We'll be buying air filters there when the tour ends."

What do you do when you see a Lonely Boy at the checkout counter at your local Wal-Mart? Ask him how the Cowboys are, of course.
