Lopez, Lance
First Things First
"First Things First", the excellent, long-out-of print, debut studio disc from bad-ass Dallas blues/rock axeripper Lance Lopez featuring 13 tracks (75 minutes) of classic, retro- 70s, bluesy, funky, heavy guitar power trio riffage that will rock your blues away. Excellently produced by Jay Newland and Buddy Miles, this is the disc that should have put Lance Lopez on the map. This outstanding Grooveyard Records re-issue disc features 5 "unreleased" Bonus Tracks including 4 extended killer Live jams recorded at "Burgstargard Castle" in Germany (where L.L. takes his guitar rite over the edge), plus there is a way-kool, stripped-down "back @ the shack" solo acoustic blues workout of Junior Kimbroughs "Sad Days and Lonely Nights" to wind down the "First Things First" disc in fine funky fashion. Get ready to rock the blues hard with L.L., people..."First Things First" has landed. The Lance Lopez: "First Things First" is an essential slice of classic, bluesy/funky, heavy guitar rock that is HIGHLY recommended to fans of HENDRIX (long live the musical spirit of JIMI), FRANK MARINO, ROBIN TROWER, ERIC GALES, KING'S X, S.R.V., DOYLE BRAMHALL, EDDIE HAZEL, LENNY KRAVITZ (imagine Lenny Kravitz meets Hendrix!!!), STEVIE SALAS, RICHIE KOTZEN, JOE BONAMASSA, (early vintage) ZZ TOP.
