Lucero - Here at the Starlite
Lucero’s Tennessee (2002) remains one of my all-time favourite albums. Lucero slings some loud, rough southern-rock-country-punk. This is a band that has a rabid cult following, but it’s one that I can’t understand hasn’t made more of an impact; at least in the alt-rock world.
The first time I heard Ben Nichols razor-gargled voice it sounded incredibly familiar to me. I thought he sounded like someone else I knew. But seven years after discovering them, I still haven’t figured out who he sounds like. So I guess he just sounds like him.
This song is epic. Seven-plus minutes with some especially brilliant guitar kicking in after the six minute mark.
So first I was all, “Wow, that’s sad news but I am not qualified to blog anything about this musician, since I never could’ve honestly counted myself as a real fan.” And then I went home and the first thing I typed into my iTunes search box was “Michael Jackson” and then before I knew it I was mouthing, “I’m not gonna spend my life bein’ a color,” dancing around the kitchen. It happens.
RIP Michael.
Very nice guitar playing.

The Pink Mountaintops - While We Were Dreaming
I’ve listened to this album five times in the last two days. Love it. This is a beautiful song. The drum-line is perfect.
