Format:Audio CD
like a few other bands Lucero lie at the more raucous end of the "alt.country" spectrum. They tell stories of lives gone awry and loves lost and of bars and bottles. I would say the closest bands to them in style are Marah and Slobberbone. On this album they vary their attack, the songs tell the same stories of loss, regret, longing and whisky but somehow they have adeed sophistication and a little lightness of touch to the mix. This has come through the addition of a keyboard player and on this album he is allowed to come to the fore in many songs. The lead singer, Ben Nicholson, has a gruff, throaty voice and it is complemented by the lighter tones of the piano, organ and accordion they have added to their sound.
If you are a fan of the kind of American roots rock that includes the aforementioned Slobberbone and Marah, as well as the Drive-by Truckers, the Bottle Rockets and even Wilco then it is probably worth checking this superb latest album from Lucero. It's just a pity we're unlikely to see them live on this side of the pond, but I live in hope.

Sing me no hymns...
29 Sep 2006
Format:Audio CD
...pour me a tall glass of whiskey and let's have some fun rock n rollers. Lucero plays it on this album. It's a tasteful product all the way around from the album title, cover, art, pictures, song titles, song choruses, lyrics, guitar licks, lead licks right where you need 'em, f***in' lyrics again, f***in' cymbals with base and guts with f***in'...f***in'...vocals and drums! And 1, 2,3,4's! Let's pull out the fine china and f***in dance on it.

They keep getting better...
24 Dec 2006
Format:Audio CD
This band just keeps putting out better & better material. My favorite album is Tennessee, but this is as good... if not better. In a time of fall out boy (crap in my opinion) being played on radio, its a shame you dont hear these guys. Do yourself a favor (and the band too!) when they come to your city, go and support them.

Another Remarkable Effort
11 April 2009
Format:Audio CD
I only recently picked up on this band, friend of mine was into Wilco and Uncle Tupelo and I was into The Replacements and Buffalo Tom and The Black Crowes and somehow we ended up finding Lucero.
smoky, raspy, whiskey-tongued and just about perfect. If emotion, passion and grace matter in your music you just might want to pick them up.
And why hasn't anyone drawn comparisons to The Pogues? I swear I hear Shane MacGowan on "On The Way Back Home".
These guys are really nothing short of remarkable.
