The album furthers the group's reputation being, as they playfully put it, a "rock band with a country problem," pairing 70s-style Fleetwood Mac hooks with a heavy undercurrent reminiscent of Heart and Concrete Blonde. Months before its official release, Lucky You has already gained a whirlwind radio presence around the country, leaving this independent act flooded with preorder requests.
The album's title track "Lucky You," is an irresistible, sexy stomp, sounding like the modern update of X, another punky group who flirted with country regularly, boy-girl harmonies soaring over a four-on-the-floor rock groove. Elsewhere, the singer/songwriting duo Craig Aspen and Cyd Frazzini tackle Hurricane Katrina's aftermath with the barn-burning twang of "Ring Ring Ring" and the country blues "Higher Ground."
The album, featuring musical contributions from Band of Horses' Bill Reynolds, was produced by Aspen, Frazzini and drummer Stevie Adamek and mastered by legendary producer Ray Kennedy (Steve Earle, Lucinda Williams). Don't miss the chance to see The Believers unveil their newest record Lucky You with one of their legendary live shows, described by Rock and Reel Magazine as "what Johnny Cash and The Tennessee Three might have sounded like if they'd jammed with The White Stripes."
