Los Lonely Boys, Alejandro Escovedo

Los Lonely Boys became the latest group to learn it's good to take care of your voice when doctors sidelined bassist/vocalist JoJo Garza this past spring after finding some lesions on his vocal cords. They probably could have used the rest, because ever since 2004 debut Los Lonely Boys, Texas has seen few harder-working bands than the San Angelo-based Garza brothers. Saturday, look for songs from the ­album the boys had been working on when JoJo took a break, as well as last year's Rockpango!, which adds a touch of Cream-like psychedelia to the Boys' trademark Texican rock and roll. Opening is sage and soulful Texas legend ­Alejandro Escovedo, back on the shelves this year with the excellent Big Station.
