Been loving these guys since 2009. Saw them when they opened for Social Distortion in Denver 2010 when my husband and I were first dating. It was the place and time I fell in love with him. He passed away July 27th. Came here to feel a little closer to him. The greatest love of my life
+Killian Melle You will need at least 2 years to see the whole Mississippi River. Every stop has a different piece of the story. It's worth the time if you're exploring the history and progression of music in America as it originated from everywhere else in the world.
+Scott Beaton Hey Scott, I see. It's a very long river, also it crosses so many states with different cultures. What are the best places to visit near the Mississippi river ? I mean what are the places where people with that typical inspiration, this typical culture, live ?
Times you had in your life, were never just for you. They were things we all felt. Places we all knew. People we all lost. Music like this really defines the title music. Real connectivity through a broad spectrum of sounds, lucero really rocks. Ashame so many people are lost in a world of tasteless want and posession. To truly lose something or fall an get back up is something not all have had the pleasure to do. I feel bad for them.
Ben Nichols is one of the most influential musicians to me in my life I played guitar from 5 years old till about 19 years old and just up and stopped until I heard his song last pail light in the west on season 3 of the walking dead and it lit a fuse that has been burning since then and has opened my mind up to so many things I've never thought of with guitar.........thank you Ben Nichols and Lucero..... My favorite of all time
an Amazing and Beautiful group of guy's who are not only talented, but Ive worked with/for them, many times (stagehand), the Love they project through their music is truly who they are. and their fans.... are just as awesome! True Memphis Music. pleasure to know and work with them!! Big Love. xoxo
A very sweet lil lady turned me on to this band and even though I can't be with her at this point and time I can always fill my mind with sweet memories of her by just listening to this.........love u lil bug!!!
Worked at indie record store in the nineties that hosted quite a few in store performances.Ben was the most laid back guy and has great taste as well remember him buying John Doe solo records
oh ben, where have you been? where have I been? Just now hearing and listening to you and Lucero for first time. Thanks goes to Ryan Bingham. Which I must admit, I have been stuck on Bingham for quite some time. I have seen your band name announcing tour dates etc. Just now checking you out. Shame. Grateful to have found you now. Wow. Incredible art.
t was Texas, it was Tennessee It was what I had come into me You were unlike anything before Black magic, devil killer, I was yours It was the early days of rock 'n roll It was Otis, it was Memphis soul It was a plane crash, it was overnight It was burnin' fast and burnin' bright Baby, don't you talk no more, that looks is loud enough You don't have to tell me how it feels not to be in love You see, that was my oldest game, darlin', it was my claim to fame And I knew that when I met you, all that you would need is more than what I got Oh, so baby, please just stop It was Texas, it was Tennessee It was exes and some wannabes It was reckless, it was understood It didn't matter cuz it felt so good And I'll still be here if you change your mind But I can see the leaving in your eyes Don't want to hear it, cuz I know it well I've said it all before to someone else It was Texas, it was Tennessee A kind of love a-closer kin to grief It was everything that I could want But California came and took it all
I hate listing to this beautiful music and scrolling down and seeing that a bunch of 12 year olds figured out how to use the internet and post stupid comments that are embarrassing and hateful. Go post that on some other page, but not in the presence of this beautiful music.

Also, I bet you didn't know he was in another band way before Lucero. It was a punk band but I bet you would like that too because "omg hes so hot!" Check out "Red 40"
you guys are all fucked up if you don't like this.........so don't listen to it .......it is that simple.......no need to tear down something good like the rest of the world is doing

When a performance is so good you download it just in case the video ever disappears
I remember when the time stamp on this said 3 months and here we are 9 years later and this is still a top 50 of all time for me
this might be the best quality live recording on the fly from a radio station I've ever heard... nice job mr. engineer!
Absolutely agreed!
That's Ben's voice
"You don't have to talk no more, that look is loud enough." Such a powerful amazing line.
I'm french and one of my dreams is to sit next to the Mississippi river, listening to this wonderful music.
Mississippi River
+xangoir sorry for that horrible mistake :p

That's a signature song if I've ever heard one. Million dollar voice. Love it.
Last evening was a watershed night, for I found two new musical wonders - Lucero and John Moreland. There is hope for American music after all!
Steve Paradiso was my thought when I heard both for the first time in 2013....thanks for the enlightenment chris B.
Totally...I've been listening to lucero since around 09, but haven't heard john moreland yet. I'll have to check him out
I just saw both of them at the same show in Dallas last friday.
I need a beer...
What a voice

To truly lose something or fall an get back up is something not all have had the pleasure to do. I feel bad for them.
God, I love this version. I really wish they would release it on some sort of streaming app...or even a physical copy. I'd buy it immediately.

My favorite thing about Lucero is how raspy his voice sound. Makes the music seem more real, no bullshit, all talent!
Still making great songs after fifteen years. Long Live Lucero!!!!
Here 2023. Great tune.
Such a great song! I've not missed a show within 100 miles of Louisville, KY in 11 years. Lucero only gets better. Keep it up guys, you're killing it!

I absolutely love his voice, what a great song!
Saw him play this live a few months ago. Said it was called Texas and Tennessee, but it's about California. Gotta love it
Ben is awesome👏👏👏👏saw him a couple months ago and it was amazing!
A very sweet lil lady turned me on to this band and even though I can't be with her at this point and time I can always fill my mind with sweet memories of her by just listening to this.........love u lil bug!!!
I love Lucero and you Jonathan Keith!!!! Tennessee is your new home.
I love this song
This is amazing- in love with his voice!
Will always be in love with this guy or just his voice!!! Great band and great music
That man gets down on that accordion.
It sounds so good live, with the accordion.
Worked at indie record store in the nineties that hosted quite a few in store performances.Ben was the most laid back guy and has great taste as well remember him buying John Doe solo records
Amazing song. Love the soul and grit in his singing.
Addicted! Thank u lucero.
Love Ben and Lucero. Met Ben once at a show in Cincinnati. Really nice guy. Signed my ticket stub with my name haha Lucero is my number 1!
What a relief it is to hear this kind of talent... Thank You for posting this.
Real music

Classic Lucero. Always giving someone goosebumps.
Simply beautiful tune, Love Ben's gravelly voice

Wow. Incredible art.
t was Texas, it was Tennessee
It was what I had come into me
You were unlike anything before
Black magic, devil killer, I was yours
It was the early days of rock 'n roll
It was Otis, it was Memphis soul
It was a plane crash, it was overnight
It was burnin' fast and burnin' bright
Baby, don't you talk no more, that looks is loud enough
You don't have to tell me how it feels not to be in love
You see, that was my oldest game, darlin', it was my claim to fame
And I knew that when I met you, all that you would need is more than what I got
Oh, so baby, please just stop
It was Texas, it was Tennessee
It was exes and some wannabes
It was reckless, it was understood
It didn't matter cuz it felt so good
And I'll still be here if you change your mind
But I can see the leaving in your eyes
Don't want to hear it, cuz I know it well
I've said it all before to someone else
It was Texas, it was Tennessee
A kind of love a-closer kin to grief
It was everything that I could want
But California came and took it all
I love this song so much
sooo good
Aww poor soul. THIS IS AMAZING.
Heard these guys in the mud movie...automaclly a fan......
2021 still here great song
Great show in Fort Collins the other night gentlemen. I don’t believe I’ve ever missed a home game…but I don’t always remember them.
My fn heroes
I love lucero!
Wow. Big surprise. My first time hearin ya. Like Tom waits minus the city dark plus sometimes sunrise. Hope you guys do well. You deserve it.
very special human being that one
k

How fricken true are those lyrics!!? Wow

Our daughter is 30 with 5 grandchildren.

I hate listing to this beautiful music and scrolling down and seeing that a bunch of 12 year olds figured out how to use the internet and post stupid comments that are embarrassing and hateful. Go post that on some other page, but not in the presence of this beautiful music.
So perfect.
This song is so fucking good but hurts so damn bad.

wow the audio quality is unreal !!! - really great mix, etc. ! was this audio taken from on-air or off air (studio console) feed ?
"the props videos" good tymes!!!
I like this song. Is it an original?
Also, I bet you didn't know he was in another band way before Lucero. It was a punk band but I bet you would like that too because "omg hes so hot!" Check out "Red 40"
My thoughts exactly.
Tom Waits Is Comin Through
Say what ya will about lucero, but you cant say his music hasn't effected you in one way or another. Ben keep doin you and we be right be hide ya
Real fuckin music
You don't have to tell me how it feels to not be in love
i wonder if he ever gets his beard caught in the accordian.
April 23, 2013!!!
🍻
what is the tuning on the guitar
Isaac Snider standard, I believe
California came and took it all.
fuck yeah.
..... back to where you found me
I've watched this video countless times and just now noticed the "less than jake/glassjaw" poster behind Ben.
you guys are all fucked up if you don't like this.........so don't listen to it .......it is that simple.......no need to tear down something good like the rest of the world is doing
Legacy
mhmmm
@Rachelle Dodge
Ben Nichols seriously is the fucking man....
but good god this guy is cute
