“Levi Plateros is this year’s version of Los Lonely Boys, The Plateros band includes his father on bass and a cousin on drums. Their multi-layered vocal lines are pure and sweet. While Levi’s muse is a blasting guitar line set over rich melody lines, this band can pile-drive a song with the best of the blues genre’s bashers and then just as easily pull back with heavy pop music hooks and soft, melody rich tracks. If the debut album by Los Lonely Boys ever got your toes tapping – Plateros is a fine second step. Plateros is an all Navajo band and fits nicely among other indigenous and/or sibling acts like; Santana, Indigenous, Los Lobos, Homemade Jamz Blues Band and the aforementioned Los Lonely Boys. Again, this is a band worth keeping your eye on and it is fair to expect big things from them in the future. ”

— Rick Galusha, Pacific Street Blues

“As I move into the second track Where Would I Be it seems the production quality has improved, there’s some delay on the vocals, and generally a good layout on the CD itself with tighter vocal harmonies. The rhythm section is not being overshadowed by the brilliant guitar work but they are providing the foundation from which Levi can work and work it he does. Do I hear an organ in there under the guitar break? The song Latter Rain has the sound and feel of 40’s jazz boogie. Reminds me somewhat of Brian Setzer’s stuff a little. An interesting shift for a guitar player so young yet. A strong experiment in styles. Tasteful use of effects pedals is always a point with my assessment of an artist’s playing. Please don’t over do it and Levi doesn’t. ”

— Jamison Mahto, Indigenous in the News,, Native American Times

“If Santana or the Los Lonely Boys had little brothers it would be the Plateros.”
