This week's episode leads me to Ben Nichols, frontman and founder of the genre warping band LUCERO. Ben has been able to take to melding different styles of music, such as country, folk, punk, emo, and straight up rock n' roll to great the listening pleasure that is LUCERO. It is no small feat that Ben has been able to take these sounds and styles of music that could end up being a jumbled disaster for some, and create what I believe is something other bands should learn from. LUCERO took their talents to creating their new visionary album "When You Find Me" using synthesizers and horns, which Ben himself described as "running from" in the early years of the band. Ben's use of these new tools has helped him create the classic sound that harkens back to the early "80's Petty Style" of song formation. Join Ben and I as we discuss the new album and his turning point of finding out what music was and what brought him to pursue his vision. "On My Way Downtown" is "When You Find Me" trying to "Outrun The Moon", but please do not out run this episode, its "Nights Like These" that turn into the "Sweet Little Things" "Among The Ghosts"!!!
