Forgiven is the culmination of an incredibly rewarding recording process that sought to and succeeded in getting back to the roots of what makes Los Lonely Boys so special. the record is the Garza brother's (Henry - vocals/guitar; Jo Jo - vocals/bass; Ringo - vocals/drums) third studio effort and was produced by the Grammy Award-winning producer and acclaimed drummer Steve Jordan (Keith Richards, John Mayer, Herbie Hancock), engineered by Niko Bolas (Neil Young, KISS, Don Henley, Sting, Fiona Apple), Dave Natale (Rolling Stones, Fleetwood Mac) and mixed by Manny Marroquin (Santana, Alicia Keys, Kanye West, T.I., Rihanna). Legendary New Orleans musician Dr. John guests on keyboards for the recordings, and Jordan adds percussion as well.
Jordan decided that he didn't want to put the band into a typical studio situation. Instead, understanding the impact of their live sound and presence he simulated the band's on-stage setting on a sound stage, paying attention to every detail, going so far as to recreate their front-of-house setup. The difference in approach is palpable throughout the record.
