Cold on the heels of their first, highly acclaimed release "Hollywood & Western," comes the latest recording from California's popular Western Swing combo, entitled "Stay Out Late With The Lucky Stars." Four years of painstaking work in the studio, incredible attention to detail, and a whole lot of plain old laziness have resulted in this, their much-procrastinated second CD. What you get are thirteen sizzling new tracks which demonstrate the band's solid songwriting and impressive musicianship .
But wait, there's more!! The package comes complete with beautiful, hand-drawn illustrations by the band's own Jeremy wakefield, as well as an absolutely free, fold-out mini poster suitable for framing or bird cage lining. But don't waste any more of your time reading this self-important puff piece, get "Stay Out Late With The Lucky Stars" for yourself RIGHT NOW, and find out what all the hoopla is about. If you like "Hot New Country," we'll be happy to disappoint you, but if you like hot old country, then by all means accept this invitation to "Stay Out Late With The Lucky Stars."'
'"The Lucky Stars' songs are consistently witty, entertaining and full of surprises, as is the band." - Dave Alvin
This new album was highly anticipated. Imagine Sage Guyton’s ability to sing and write songs combined with Jeremy Wakefield on steel and the support of Dave Stuckey on drums, Wally Hersom on bass and Russ Blake on guitar. Well, if you’re into western swing this is the combination that would make your heart flip! And it does. The album opens with "Rarin’ to Go," the kind of song that takes no prisoners and you know you’re not just listenin’ to another album but a recording that could stand proudly near Hank Penny, Tex Williams or Bob Wills in your collection. This band swings, I mean REALLY swings, they don’t play country songs with steel on a rock beat, you see what I mean? All this album is a proof that Sage Guyton is not only a fantastic singer but a genius in term of writing songs. Of course you can expect clever lyrics (Teacher’s pet, Mama’s got the rundown dady blues to name but two) but Sage is more than a guy who writes funny tunes. Just listen to "Out of Your Mind" and "My Poor Old Haunted Heart" (and if you don’t cry on these one, you’re not really human). JW sings the two covers of this album "The Tattooed Lady" and Cindy Walker’s "Don’t Count Your Chickens" and the records ends on the instrumental "Stay Out Late" that could have been recorded by the Western Caravan. But enough said, this record is an absolute must ! - Fred Turgis - Jumpin' from 6 to 6
