Austin Lucas: Somebody Loves You

(Suburban Home, 2009)

Discovery: I had heard his name before, but my first true listen to Austin Lucas came from the album he did with Chuck Ragan entitled "Bristle Ridge". I enjoyed the energetic folk-punk on that release, so I picked up this latest offering from Austin Lucas.

Result: This is a good chill-out/cleaning the house record, or an excellent background to a lazy summer day or a country drive. I am not particularly committed to this album because it's a little too country for me but it is a nice change from the usual "guitar-driven alternative rock/punk" I listen to frequently.

Stand-out Tracks: "Singing Man", "Wash My Sins Away", "Go West"
