Finally, the wait is over!

It seems like I waited years to get this after ordering this. It was well worth the wait!

Description taken from the Lucero website.

From their troubled past, to the recording of their new album Nobody’s Darlings, Dreaming in America, by New York Filmmaker Aaron Goldman, serves as an emotional testimony of a band that makes music because they love it, they’re compelled to, and their lives depend on it. It is the story of a blue-collar rock group’s fight to exist and thrive since they formed in the late 90′s. Dreaming in America starts with the band between labels and, though they had sold north of 20,000 records, the boys had not earned a single cent through royalties.

Inspired by films like D.A Pennebaker’s classic Don’t Look Back, Jem Cohen’s Fugazi documentary, Instrument, and I Am Trying to Break Your Heart, the highly acclaimed Wilco movie by Sam Jones, Dreaming in America takes a brutally honest look at a brutally honest band. The film documents Lucero’s seemingly endless travels as they slug it out on the road, playing more than 250 shows a year, recording in a barn with legendary producer Jim Dickinson and trying to find their home in an ever changing music industry.

    I’m envious right now. Really envious. They are a fantastic live band so hopefully this documents them as they truly are.
