Description

Like the great river that flows through Memphis, the music of Lucero keeps rolling on, twisting and turning through the years, the same dark and brooding steadiness always at work.

Since forming in late the 90s, this group of Memphis road-dogs has mixed heartfelt lyrics with the sounds of early rock and roll, classic punk, country-folk, and deep-fried Southern soul. It's a sound that stands on the pillars of American music, born more of feeling than technique, delivered night after night to legions of fans in dive bars and theatres, and on stages as august as Red Rocks Amphitheater and the Ryman. In short, it's music that is built to last, impervious to trends.

For their tenth studio album, "When You Found Me", the band continues its natural evolution, this time tapping into a more atmospheric, widescreen vision (one that wouldn't seem out of place on a Reagan-era FM dial) while still staying tethered to its roots.
