Album Notes & Community Reviews

The album collects nine Lucero songs recorded straight to eight-track cassette in the attic of guitarist Brian Venable's father's house in Memphis, sung by Ben Nichols in the band's formative alt-country idiom. The program includes a cover of Jawbreaker's 'Kiss the Bottle', and the tapes were later reissued with three additional demos.
