Ben Nichols: The Last Pale Light in the West

For those of you waiting for Lucero frontman, Ben Nichol’s solo record, the wait is over! 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.

I’m not what you’d call a Lucero fan-boy, I’m more of a fan from those Red40 days and first Lucero albums, but when I heard this song the other day and it made me drop everything and run to the TV to see who it was. I figure if it impressed me that much, it must be worth telling you about, so here it is, video and rip.

They’re on a hell of tour right now, you can get it all from their Myspace page, I suggest you go right now.
