There are two artists known as Lucero, an alt-country band from the U.S., and a pop-regional female singer from Mexico.
1) Lucero began quite humbly with vocalist/guitarist Ben Nichols and guitarist Brian Venable. They wanted to play quiet country-influenced songs at punk rock shows. Nichols did the obligatory punk rock route playing in a couple of bands. Venable did the obligatory punk route sans the “playing in a couple bands. ” Bassist John Stubblefield and drummer Roy Berry had bounced around local Memphis bands since what feels like the days of the Carter administration; and Berry has had his thumb in just about every musical pie one could imagine. The band started out drummer-less and with a violinist on board, playing to your garden-variety “20 or so friends” crowds.
Last year, after the release of their third full-length album, 2003’s That Much Further West, Lucero began to break through into their first hard-won wave of success. However, this praise was drawn on the heel’s of a series of industry setbacks, as their new record label home, Tiger Style, closed up shop. This followed several years of label problems, personnel shake-ups, and the musician’s collective hand-to-mouth existence.
The complexity involved in making this album and all of Lucero’s uphill business battles are to be included in the groundbreaking forthcoming documentary, Dreaming In America by Aaron Goldman.

I love "1372 Overton Park", 'cause when I listen to it, it makes me want to live, while their previous efforts were really fucking depressing. And I don't mean bad. I mean really sad.

Just got 1372. Listened to Smoke and thought, "I'd like this more if it didn't have horns. It's not suiting to Lucero." Mind you, I'm not biased regarding horns, after being in a ska band and all, but it didn't feel like Lucero. What Are You Willing to Lose changed my opinion. Lucero + horns = still amazing.

More plays scrobbled from American band, simple math. Why has the photo been changed? Composite pic at most, changing the pic outright isn't really fair.

WTF un carajo! Esa es LUCERO, la novia de América, conocida por TODO EL MUNDO como una GRAN ACTRIZ Y CANTANTE, lástima no poder hablar en tu maldito idioma para explicar que Lucero Hogaza é MUCHO más que esa banda de fondo de hacienda...

Loving the new album more every time I listen to it. At first, I was put off by the horns, but they are really growing on me.
