Every Lucero CD is great. I wish they would get a new album out, I can't wait to see what awesome music they pump out next. Keep on Keepin on, and come to Stephenville Texas!
I'd heard this band referenced to my two favorite bands--The Replacements and Bruce Springsteen--so I had to give them a shot. They sound more like the latter with a little of Steve Earle thrown in. It's real raunchy though, and if you like your vocals rough as sandpaper (and sometimes you should) then check them out. The potential is there for iconic country-tinged rock if only they'd tighten up a bit and maybe smooth out the vocals a tad. When they're on it's really impressive though. Check out "Get Us Out of Here Tonight" and "Cass" and you'll see what I mean.
holy crap is that review by a member of "Paperhearts?" because if it is I am humbled in your presence..just kidding..kind of...love that music man.
God bless Lucero and rock/folk
Ya'll are my favorite band EVER!!!! My Best Girl and Chain Link Fence are the best songs ever. I have seen ya'll in Stephenville, the best concert ive ever been to. keep on rockin!!!
Songs like "My Best Girl", "Raisin' Hell", "Drink "Till We're Gone", "It Gets the Worst at Night", and "Banks of the Arkansas" make this one of the best Lucero albums ever.
I go to school in Arkansas. The concert in Conway last night was the single best concert I've ever been to, and perhaps one of the best nights of my life. This band is real. And I don't mean "they are the new cool thing." I mean they are real. And they make I-40 go a lot smoother as I'm coming back home to Texas. They've given me a reason to enjoy Arkansas and I could care less whether or not anyone else in the world likes them except for me. I like Bowen, Rogers, and Stoney. I enjoy bluegrass on a lazy day with some fiddle and mandoline and I also really like Bleu Edmondson...but Lucero is my hands down my favorite band and always will be.
Great cd cant get enough of it listen to it every time i get in my truck
very well done, and insightful look into one of the hardest working bands in america. It is very open and personal. If you know nothing about the band you will instantly want to see them live.
