All A Man Should Do

Following the release of 2012's 'Women and Work', Lucero's new album 'All A Man Should Do' contains some of the most resonant lyrics Ben Nichols has ever written. They read like chapters from his life: the duality of relationships, getting older, finding where you want to be in this world and more. Working with producer Ted Hutt (Old Crow Medicine Show, Flogging Molly) for a third time at Memphis's Ardent Studios, the band felt comfortable enough to take some chances with a palette of new tones that sound understated yet powerful, bringing life to the stories behind the lyrics without overshadowing them. And for the first time they put a cover song on a record, with a full band version of Big Star's 'I Fell in Love with a Girl'. The track features Jody Stephens from Big Star singing back-up vocals, making it that much more special. This is a Memphis record in the greatest sense and a perfect finish to the three-part love letter to a city that brought them up and made Lucero what they are today.​LP - With CD Version.
