Two of the finest gentlemen I have ever met, Benny and Joe Rodriguez have recorded a new CD entitled "Greeting from East LA"
Eastside legends, Benny and Joe are better known as The Heartbreakers and have been part of the Eastside music scene since the early 1960's. (See my post EASTSIDE LEGENDS - THE HEARTBREAKERS) and continue to perform locally and in various parts of the country today.
Although Benny and Joe have been singing and performing together for more that 50 years their voices have not missed a beat. Many critics have dubbed the "Eastside Sound" as duet vocal harmony. If that is the case The Heartbreakers are among the finest.
On this CD, Benny and Joe have re-recorded many of their vinyl classics. Songs like "Cradle Rock", "Every Time I See You", "She Is My Baby" and my personal favorite, "Please Answer" sound amazingly like their records which to me is a good thing.
Also included on the CD is the beautiful ballad "Baby I Love You So" penned by Eastside legend Mark Guerrero and two tunes penned by Eastside rocker, Chan Romero entitled "Trying To Forget You" and "I Don't Care".
Rounding out the CD is a cover of the Clovers' classic, "I Played The Fool" and the beautiful Spanish language "Aquel Amor" (That Love).
I very highly recommend this CD and if you are interested in obtaining a copy you can e-mail Benny Rodriguez at
