The search for ones identity is a lifelong process that every individual must go through. Who someone is today, is not the person they were yesterday nor who they may be tomorrow. Despite those changes, there is a general idea of a defined sense of self. No matter what happens, it is that small yet solid and grounding definition of self that continues to drive us forward in our search for identity and whatever may come with it.It would be difficult to find any artist who understands that better than the band Lucero.Since forming in Memphis in the late 90s, Luceros base musical hallmarks have remained similar to the bands initial sound established with their first record The Attic Tapes. In the history of their expansive discography, Lucero has evolved and embraced everything from southern rock to Stax-inspired Memphis soul, whilst simultaneously maintaining their distinctive sonic foundations. Over 20 years later, dedicated fans of the group still flock to hear the bands punchy driving rhythms, punk-rooted guitar licks, and lyrics that evoke the whiskey drenched sentimentality of Americana singer-songwriters. As expected of any band built to survive, Lucero has welcomed change over the course of their career, but it has always been on their terms.The bands twelfth album, Shouldve Learned by Now, began its life as hardly more than some rough demos and lingering guitar parts. These pieces that were left behind from the bands previous albums, Among the Ghosts (2018) and When You Found Me (2021) were deemed too uptempo and capering for the prior records darker themes.I had a particular sound I was looking for on each record and there was no room for any goofy rock said primary lyricist and frontman, Ben Nichols. But now finally, it was time to revisit all of that stuff and get it out in the world. Thats how we got to the appropriately-for-us-titled album Shouldve Learned by Now. The album is basically about how we know we are fuckups and I guess we are ok with that.The band, comprised of all its original members (which in addition to Ben Nichols, includes Brian Venable on guitar, Roy Berry on drums, John C. Stubblefield on bass, and Rick Steff on keys) teamed up for a third time with producer and Grammy Award-winning engineer and mixer, Matt Ross-Spang. Lucero began the recording process in Sam Phillips Recording Service before transitioning and finishing the record in Ross-Spangs newly opened Southern Grooves Productions in Memphis, TN. Ross-Spang appears to have settled in with the bands more trademark sound whilst very much making his touch known to listeners.
