Ben Nichols, best known as the whiskey and cigarettes inflected
lead vocalist of Memphis rock band Lucero, has just released his
first solo album entitled Last Pale Light in the West.
Based on characters and events from Cormack McCarthy's novel
Blood Meridian, Nichols' melodramatic solo release strays
quietly from the normal "lost love" themed ramblings of Lucero songs.
In nine short songs, Nichols manages to resurrect the heart aching
guitar and rumbling vocals sound of every old cowboy tune with
a subtle flare of his own.
