Austin Lucas - Go West


Austin Lucas - Go West from If You Make It on Vimeo.

Big ups to my buddy Chocolate Bear for giving me the heads up on this video - the chorus will probably never, ever leave my head! (yea, thanks a lot C-Bear :p). After hearing this song, I dropped everything I was doing (which was probably not much, to be honest) and went to track down Austin Lucas' latest offering entitled 'Somebody Loves You'. Part folk, a bit of country and all passion, coupled with Austin Lucas' undeniable talent on the guitar leaves audiences enthralled and entranced. Even people who try to avoid country music like the Dust Bowl (Exhibit A - me). Maybe its time to stop being so close minded and to see what other knee slappin' ho down's are out there...


EDit - truth be told, I dig this live version more than the album version. The one laid down on CD has fiddles and banjoes. I think that's also a testament to Austin Lucas' live chops - and my dislike for country!
