Lucero are many things. They're a band that doesn't have fans as much as they have diehards who come to every show and scream the words to every song from their classic albums like Tennessee and That Much Further West. They're road warriors who live in their tour van and have had their touring experiences chronicled in the Dreaming In America DVD.
Somewhere between out and out punk rock and riff laden alt.country, they're a band that has written plenty of songs about girls and guitars, and about life, love, drinking, each with their trademark vivid storytelling: slice-of-life pictures of small town America.
On 'Rebels, Rogues & Sworn Brothers', Lucero prove themselves to be something much simpler than that: a tried n true American rock n roll band.
To call Lucero Memphis' answer to Bruce Springsteen is not a stretch. It's just how it is.
