New Lucero Videos

"What Are You Willing To Lose"

Lucero "What Are You Willing To Lose?" from Lucero on Vimeo.
This Lucero video campaign is fucking genius, because once you post one, you feel like an asshole if you don't post all subsequent videos. So here you go, two new videos for "What Are You Willing To Lose" and "Goodbye Again" off of 1372 Overton Park, dropping Oct. 6.

Yes. We will be posting the rest of the damn videos too.

Lucero Fan Video Extravaganza Part II

Johnny Davis from Lucero on Vimeo.

As we posted on previously, in preparation for 1372 Overton Park (Oct. 6 Universal Republic) Lucero are releasing a fan made video for every track on the album. Thursday marks, "new video release day," but we are a day late so deal. Without further adieu (or ado,) today, we bring you part two -- the video for "Johnny Davis." Again, upon first listen of this album, there are parts that are too clean to be Lucero, with Ben Nichols' vocal lines almost sounding forced, which to avid fans, is simply untrue. Ben Nichlos earned every coarse-grain and hiccup in his truly unique singing style. Get passed that and you have an energeticly fantastic record.

Lucero To Release Major Label Debut

Lucero - "Smoke" (Stream Only)

1372 Overton Park, Lucero's sixth full-length record is slated for an Oct, 6 release. What makes this album special is that it will be Ben Nichols & Co.'s first LP on a major -- Universal Republic Records. After years of relentless touring through the Bible Belt and Southern states, Lucero emerge, still with dirt on their hands, whiskey in their blood, but with a major label in their pocket. As they say, Lucero now epitomizes the sentement, "hardworking band makes good." Their new record was produced by Ted Hutt (Gaslight Anthem) and features such guests as Cat Power, Al Green and Solomon Burke. Enjoy the newest track from the album titled "Smoke" for stream above. Our only concern is that Nichols' vocals come off a bit too over-produced. If the tune is any insight into how the rest of the album will progress, what we have on our hands is a rollicking-southern hybrid of Gaslight Anthem and the Hold Steady.

Here we go.
