I learned yesterday from a post on Twitter by Austin singer/songwriter Kelly Willis alerted me that Austin native fiddle player Amy Farris had been found dead at her residence in Los Angeles at the age of 40. Suicide is suspected, but an investigation is currently underway. Farris was a talented fiddle player and had recently [...]Related posts:News Round Up: Taylor Swift Attends Miranda Lamber...

A good friend said, "It'll probably sound like all the rest, but I'll still love it." I'm happy to report that she's right on both counts.Listen to "Smoke" off the new album, 1372 Overton ParkSounds Like: Lying drunk on the bar floor with whiskey in one hand, and the other balled into a fist and raised high in some kind of inebriated salute.RIYL: Old 97s, Whiskeytown, Drag the River, Drive by T...

Well, I thought I would repost this seeing as Lucero has a new album on the way. Due out Oct. 6th, 1372 Overton Park is the name of the album, and it is Lucero's major label debut on Universal/Republic records. Pre-order the album now and get a 6 song sampler download of the album along with a plethora of other things depending on what you choose. Early buzz of the album from the sampler is t...

My friend Nick and I went to the Lucero show the other night at the new Bottom Lounge in Chicago. I say new because the first time I saw Lucero was at the old Bottom Lounge years ago. The new digs are way better (read: you don’t have to wipe your feet off before you [...]

Okay, let’s talk about the elephant in the room. The horns. Anyone that has heard Lucero’s new album (and their major label debut), 1372 Overton Park, has an opinion on the issue and I have been sitting on the fence. I like the fact that they are paying homage to their hometown of Memphis and [...]

It's taken me a day or two to come up with a way to review the show I saw last Friday night in downtown Nashville. Lucero , a Memphis band I've been a fan of for a few years now, performed a two-night stand this past weekend. I was a little late due to work obligations and then a car accident on the interstate. When I finally arrived, I found the place completely sold out and jam-packed. Don't...

Lucero were GREAT last night. Everything a bar band should be. Had a great time, and thanks to Gympumpkin I got there in time to catch Catfish Haven. First I had heard of them, great stuff. And despite the fact that the lead singer was so drunk(and or high) that he couldn't really complete sentences while attempting to talk, the songs sounded great.

I have been meaning to write something up about the Lucero DVD “Dreaming In America”. When I went to record store I pick up the DVD. I have all the other Lucero CDs so I knew I would enjoy their DVD. The DVD shows them touring, recording “Nobody's Darlings” and picking a label to put out “Nobody's Darlings”. It is interesting what they ended up picking as a label or lets say imprint. Y

--- - |- If Ben Nichols writes about you, you're probably pretty OK. In "Tears Don't Matter Much," easily one of our favorite Lucero tunes, off "That Much Further West," Nichols canonizes a few of his songwriting pals — Matt Bradley, Doug Deluca, and Cory Branan. The song poignantly captures the very nature of being a fan — [...] ~~- Lucero

No actually...i am far too aloof for that.But I was hoping to be a tortured singer songwriter who drinks to much and sings hundreds of songs about loves lost and the meaning of life...one who records a bunch of great music to little or know fanfare while he is alive but finds critical and commercial success long after he is gone...one who dies young, but not to young, but definitely doesn't fad...

LA wins this round! Me and my friend Libby spent ALL day driving around cool Los Angeles neighborhoods to look at apartments that we really can't afford. The traffic here is worse than you imagine, the cost of living is worse than you imagine, and getting around as a new guy in town is at best tricky...and at worst absolutely a lost cause! And I have loved every second of it...sure it's stress,...

The frontman of Lucero, Ben Nichols, has contributed a dirty new blues track called "Dog Day Night" to the Arkansas Compilation CD, available now from Thick Syrup Records. Described by one as sort of a Black Keys meets Thorogood-vibe.http://aquariumdrunkard.com/?p=1590
