Following the release of 2012’s Women and Work, Lucero‘s new album All A Man Should Do due 9/18 via ATO contains some of the most resonant lyrics Ben Nichols has ever written. Check out the contemplative track “Went Looking For Warren Zevon’s Los Angeles” below.
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.
And for the first time they put a cover song on a record, with a full band version of Big Star’s “I Fell in Love with a Girl”. The track features Jody Stephens from Big Star singing back-up vocals, making it that much more special.
Sailor Jerry Rum will present Lucero’s upcoming tour to support the album as part of its Sailor Jerry Presents platform. Head below to see the extensive list of upcoming dates.
