YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yeah, for some reason that link was still up on my desktop so i just made a quick recording of it and the n YSI'd it.

Glad to save everybody's morning.

you DID save the day.......finally ysi is back up - downloading it right now...

Has anyone seen the Lucero DVD? I've picked it up and put it down twice, but that may end this afternoon.

PS: I fucking love organs.

man - in my books lucero can do no wrong. i really really want to see them live.

<---listening to That Much Further West for the first time right now.

i LOVE that album...more so then their latest

Bloor- THX
Looking forward to the new record.

yeah, this was the consensus first lucero album to listen to while discussing this band on chat the other day.

'tis good.

This is the first Lucero that I've heard.
And that was excellent.

I can't wait to listen to this when I get home tonight.

What was the consensus on Nobody's Darlin'? I never heard much about that on here but we all seem to love That Much Futher West.

whoa....i will have to fix that

I like Nobody's Darlings a good bit, espeically when I want something a little more upbeat, but TMFW is my favorite.

Fuck, this is good. I think I need to here more than That Much Further West. What's the consensus on the other albums?

guess i will let you decide on that tomrorow...

You truly are the king of kings.

if you do, buy them shots.

I echo this statement, though I should really listen to Nobody's Darlings a bit more.

Lucero has revealed some details about their upcoming full length. The band has completed work on Rebels, Rogues & Sworn Brothers, their second album for their own Liberty and Lament imprint. Besides that album, 2005's Nobody's Darlings, the band released a repackaged edition of The Attic Tapes and a DVD documentary, Dreaming in America.

The fifth full length was produced by David Lowery and Alan Weatherhead at Sound of Music Studios in Richmond VA and features legendary Memphis sideman (and recent Cat Power band member) Rick Steff on piano and B3 organ. Ben Nichols commented on the album:

“Rebels, Rogues, & Sworn Brothers sounds like a Lucero record to me. A little bit of this and a little bit of that. Some songs go one direction and others are exactly their opposite. [..] But at the same time, it is the same five guys playing each song. Each song has the same voice, just presented in different ways. Hopefully folks will appreciate that. I think this record came out being as close to what we wanted as was possible.”

Following the release, the band will embark on a national headlining tour kicking off on September 27th with support from Rocky Votolato and William Elliott Whitmore supporting.


Lucero’s Ben Nichols:

“Rebels, Rogues, & Sworn Brothers sounds like a Lucero record to me. A little bit of this and a little bit of that. Some songs go one direction and others are exactly their opposite. I’ve said before that Lucero is influenced by a wide variety of musicians and songs.

I’ve always wanted to take everything I love and respect and put it all together and hopefully make it my own. I think each Lucero record is a step closer to doing just that. I think the new record might let some of our influences shine through even more clearly than they did in the past.

There are Springsteen-inspired rock & roll songs like What Else Would You Have Me Be? And I Can Get Us Outta Here. There are southern rock songs like The Mountain and Sing me no Hymns. There are darker songs like The Weight of Guilt and pop songs like She’s just that kinda girl. She Wakes When She Dreams is basically a heart-wrenching lullaby. And some of my favorites like Nineteen Seventy Nine, Cass, and San Francisco are all harder to label, and all sound completely different.

But at the same time, it is the same five guys playing each song. Each song has the same voice, just presented in different ways. Hopefully folks will appreciate that. I think this record came out being as close to what we wanted as was possible.”

they played an instore at the Plan 9 here. I didn't go. I've never really listened to them.

umm yeah - i am in the process of getting the new album. PM me if you want it.

since I get the one album from Timis last week I've been listening to them prett much constantly, which is odd, because I didn't like it at all the first time around. I'm looking forward to this.

That's how it was for me when I first heard them.
