During our SXSW interview with Ben Nichols of Lucero, he revealed having a solo record in the works. Well, wait no longer as The Last Pale Light in the West is now available digitally. A 7-song offering inspired by Cormac McCarthy’s (The Road, No Country for Old Men) Blood Meridian can be pre-ordered today with an instant digital download available with payment. Spend a little more dough to get a limited edition t-shirt.

Things seem pretty good in camp Lucero these days, now on a major label and new song “Johnny Davis” rounding out the recent news. You can catch Ben and presumably the new material on the Revival Tour coming to a city near you.
