First Things First, the excellent, long-out-of print, debut studio disc from bad-ass Dallas blues/rock axeripper Lance Lopez, features 13 tracks (75 minutes) of classic, retro-70's, 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 five "unreleased" bonus tracks including four extended killer live jams recorded at Burgstargard Castle in Germany (where L.L. takes his guitar over the edge). Get ready to rock the blues hard with Lopez, people, First Things First has landed. Armed with his trademark, hard-assed, funky heavy guitar riffage and outstanding soul-powered voice, Lopez makes his point on First Things First and is here to stay. Tune in and discover the awesome, funky, blues/rock power of Lance Lopez.
