Lucero – All a Man Should Do (CD)
Product Details
Ben Nichols has spent two decades turning Memphis bar rooms, busted relationships, and hard-won miles into some of American rock's most quietly devastating songwriting. Lucero built their reputation on the road, night after night, earning a fanbase that runs as deep as any in the jam and roots world. *All a Man Should Do* lands as the closing chapter of a trilogy rooted in the city that shaped them.
Following the release of 2012 s Women and Work, Lucero s new album All A Man Should Do contains some of the most resonant lyrics Ben Nichols has ever written. They read like chapters from his life: the duality of relationships, getting older, finding where you want to be in this world and more.
Working with producer Ted Hutt (Old Crow Medicine Show, Flogging Molly) for a third time at Memphis s Ardent Studios, the band felt comfortable enough to take some chances with a palette of new tones that sound understated yet powerful, bringing life to the stories behind the lyrics without overshadowing them.
This is a Memphis record in the greatest sense and a perfect finish to the three-part love letter to a city that brought them up and made Lucero what they are today.
