Lucero
Released:
Mar 2012
Label:
Ato Records
On this 2012 release, Lucero pick up where they left off, fully integrating the horn section of 2009's 1372 Overton Park. While the horns come off a bit clunky at times, the overall effect works, adding the right touch of Memphis-style soul and Sticky Fingers-era boogie rock to their punky alt country. Standout "It May Be Too Late" sounds like Van Morrison had he been born post-punk -- the understated honky-tonk piano and soulful horns lend the perfect air of emptiness. Other highlights include the rockin' "On My Way Downtown," the wistful "When I Was Young" and the gospel-tinged "Go Easy."
