Lucero
\nAll a Man Should Do
\n<\/i>(ATO Records\/MapleMusic Recordings)
\n4\/5<\/p>\n

Long known in the musical circles I tend to gravitate towards as \u201cthe band that covered Jawbreaker\u2019s \u2018Kiss the Bottle,\u2019\u201d Memphis-based Lucero delivers their gritty country-rock with passion and confidence here on their tenth album.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t go thinking this is mainstream pretty-boy country-pop; this is slamming-back-whiskey-at-the-rock-club country. Songs like the amazing \u201cWent Looking for Warren Zevon\u2019s Los Angeles\u201d and \u201cI Woke Up in New Orleans\u201d paint a wonderful picture through the lyrics, and the music\u0143which brings to mind the Wallflowers at their moodiest\/best\u0143proves that these guys would appeal to fans of gritty country rock and melodic punk (hence, the Jawbreaker cover).<\/p>\n

The amazing feel-good \u201cThrowback No. 2\u201d evokes Bruce Springsteen in the excellent sax solo, incredible songwriting, and emotional performance. And jaw-dropping closer \u201cMy Girl & Me in \u201993\u201d is both wonderfully uplifting and heartbreakingly nostalgic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
