Lucero Announce Release Of First Official Live Album

Memphis  group Lucero have announced plans for the release of their first official live album. Lucero: Live From Atlanta will contain 32 tracks which span the group’s career and will be available in a 4 LP version. 

The album was recorded over three night at the Terminal West in Georgia last November. Lucero are well known for their high energy live shows, which blend country, punk, southern rock and soul. Official release date for the live recording is August 12. Pre orders are now up at the band’s site and include a variety of bundles. 

Guitarist Brian Venable addressed the purpose of the album:

When you listen to Freebird, you’re not listening to the studio version. You want that 17-minute crazy one. That’s the one you think to go to. So we’re hoping with this record, you’ll finally get a version of Tears Don’t Matter Much that you know.

The first glimpse of the album is a raucous version of Tears Don’t Matter Much, which can be heard below.
