Deluxe Hotel Room

Before Dave Cobb was Dave Cobb, and Sturgill Simpson was Sturgill Simpson, Dave Cobb produced an album for Edmonton, Alberta singer and songwriter Lucette called Black Is The Color, and Sturgill Simpson appeared prominently in the video of the evocative murder ballad and signature song Bobby Reid. Now five years later, Sturgill has reunited with Lucette on a new record called Deluxe Hotel Room that is released via Rock Creek Music / Thirty Tigers. Deluxe Hotel Room was recorded at The Butcher Shoppe in Nashville where Sturgill keeps an office with John Prine, and Sturgill used his road band in the recording process. New Orleans saxophone player Brad Walker also appears on the album. Taking the first album sound for Deluxe Hotel she amplifies it by adding ethereal ambiance and emotive resonance to a foundation of R&B, pop and soul. Lucette's cutting, honest lyrics are informed by life experiences in love, loss and battling inner demons as she comes into her own both personally and artistically.
