We're so pleased to have Lucero back. With a deserved reputation as the best americana/punk band touring today and with absolute die hard fans that know it, Lucero have always come off as an amalgam of every great heartland rock or rock and roll band that ever inspired the same in their fans; Springsteen, Social Distortion, Uncle Tupelo and The Replacements are especially good reference points for their rawkus blue-collar punk-narratives.
On their recent album, 'Women and Work', Lucero have stopped flirting with their latent country and old-school rock and roll influences, and dived headlong into creating a record that owes as much to Joe Cocker as it does Joe Strummer.
In amongst the old-school rock'n'roll shufflers and country soul ballads are blasts of horn section, twinkling pedal steel and full on gospel choral music, full of heart and gutsy production by Gaslight Anthem producer Ted Hutt (and hey-didn't these guys lay down the blueprint GA later refined?).
Lucero's recent move to ATO Recods, home of Drive By Truckers and My Morning Jacket, truly cements their name as one long-lived and ever brilliant band sharing a stable with those cut from the same booze-drenched, plaid patterned cloth.
