Memphis rock/alt-country band Lucero releases the wistful and electric new single “Buy a Little Time” from their upcoming album Should’ve Learned by Now, out February 24 via Liberty & Lament/Thirty Tigers. The song is accompanied by a music video filmed during soundcheck. Check out the throwback rocker that churns and burns with a Drive-By Truckers meets Roky Erickson urgency.

The band has also announced an early 2023 winter tour across the Southeast and Midwest, with stops in Indianapolis, Charlotte, Orlando, New Orleans, and more.

“Buy a Little Time” was written right after we recorded When You Found Me, and if it had been written a little earlier, it could’ve gone on that record or even on Among the Ghosts,” explains bandleader Ben
Nichols. “It sticks out on Should’ve Learned by Now because of that. It has a meaner sound than the rest of the album, but it was too good to leave off the record.” He continues, “It’s a cliche, but I feel like
most folks (myself included) feel like if they had just a little more time, they could make everything work out. It’s probably not true, and that makes this song a little bittersweet. Also got a chance to throw in
a line about my daughter. We stumbled across the piano breakdown in the last chorus by accident while we were recording Cory Branan’s excellent back-up vocals. It’s one of my favorite parts on the record.”
