Lucero Announce New Album, ‘All a Man Should Do,’ Will Arrive in September

Memphis-based alt-country outfit Lucero have announced they will release their next album, All a Man Should Do, on Sept. 18 via ATO Records. Take a listen to lead single, “Went Looking for Warren Zevon’s Los Angeles,” in the video up above (you'll find the album art there as well).

The forthcoming full-length's name is derived from Big Star’s “I’m in Love With a Girl,” which the band has covered for the new album. Their rendition features backup vocals from Jody Stephans from the power-pop leaders’ original lineup, as well as the Posies’ Ken Stringfellow and Jon Auer, who have been key players in Big Star's reformation and second act.

“Went Looking for Warren Zevon’s Los Angeles” and “I’m in Love With a Girl” are the only songs that have been revealed from the 10-song tracklist. The album -- which is Lucero’s third effort to be produced by Ted Hutt (The Gaslight Anthem, Old Crow Medicine Show) -- will also feature two bonus tracks. All a Man Should Do follows the band’s 2013 Texas and Tennessee EP and their 2012 LP, Women and Work.

Lucero’s Ben Nichols will kick off a string of solo dates on June 18 in Nashvile, culminating on June 28 in Birmingham, Ala. Then, he’ll be joined by the rest of the band in Lander, Wyo., on July 21. The tour -- which has been named “Sailor Jerry Presents: An Evening With Lucero” -- already has stops scheduled through December. Check out a complete list below:
