Common Cold

Beschrijving

Recorded between 2004 and 2006, The Common Cold is 9 songs debuting and documenting the humble yet infectious origins of a man that has truly helped raise the bar for folk-punk every year since.   Previously only available in Germany and sporadically in the states, 2009 marks renewed life and attention on the record that started it all.   The astonishing 1-2 punch of the insanely memorable Dead Factories and Darlin' sets the stage for a wonderfully-paced and tenderly-curated journey into the captivating world of AUSTIN LUCAS.   Whether accompanied by stand-up bass, banjo, and pedal steel (see title track) or pure a capella (see Cruel Brothers duet with sister Chloe Manor), one thing is clear: AUSTIN LUCAS is a completely brilliant story-teller with the chops and the pipes to back it all up.
