“The radio sound is wide open.” Regular readers know how much I wish that were true. I love the optimism of these guys, and it is true that their sound is wide open. Los Dos Bros sound like the kids next door, ones who are serious about perfecting their craft. And, like all my favorite music, there’s no category you can sneak them into. Rock guitars for sure, but there are violins and tubas entering into the fray to open up every pore in my eartaste buds. The harmonies have a down-home flavor. Surfer Girl is exactly what you’re thinking – a Beach Boys cover. But, this is not the cover you’re expecting. These guys took the song and claimed it as their own, and the vision is life enhancing. Radio programmers around the nation are stealing something fantastic for people driving around in their cars this summer if they do not include this on their playlists. This is a truly personal and beautiful take on a very special Brian Wilson song, and this particular surfer girl does not need to be riding the waves. This surfer girl is traveling the net with the rest of us, everyone’s vision of the girl next door. Lovely. The shoutout tune is also very special. Take an old Bob Wills song and make it sound like it was written in 2008. Sound easy? Probably not, but Los Dos Bros have managed that task with absolute fun. A huge shoutout for Time Changes Everything. Summer is in full swing, and this music is a great companion to this season. Thanks guys!!! I hope your prediction about the radio sound comes true and I hear your music coming over the air very soon. The Los Dos Bros
