 "tennessee"
 
 and
 
  <img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0000C237M.01._SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg" alt=" - " />
 "that much further west"
 
 compulsively lately ... any suggestions of what to get next by Lucero?  Their latest one ("Nobody's Darlings")?  "Attic Tapes"?  "S/T"?
 
 also, does anyone have any band suggestions that sound similar to Lucero?  I like alot of the ones allmusic suggested,
 
    (* Buffalo Tom
     * Scud Mountain Boys
     * American Princes
     * Johnny Cash
     * Rocky Votolato
     * The Weakerthans
     * Against Me!
     * The Replacements)
 
 but there's gotta be more gritty southern alt-country with punk leanings out there ... and how did allmusic leave drive-by truckers off that list?!

Nobodys Darlings is very good

[ratioci nation]

in order next should be
 
 Nobodys Darlings
 S/T
 Attic Tapes

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

I'm not really very fond of Lucero, but if you want more rough and tumble alt-country in that style, try I Can Lick Any Sonofabitch in the House, Two Cow Garage, and any Slobberbone album except for their last one.

thanks for the recommendations, just picked these up from emusic:

   <img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B00004U3TK.01._SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg" alt=" - " />

 and finally getting around to listening to the new centro-matic record ... good stuff ...

These might not be exactly what you are looking for but all are worth a listen:
 Supersuckers
 16 Horespower
 Shortstack

Check out Marah also.  They're another band similar to Lucero - both of these bands put on great live shows.  Looks like Marah is coming to the 930 soon - opening for Alejandro Escoveda.  Hoya - if you're interested I can hook you up with some live shows from Lucero and Marah

drag the river

Anybody familiar with Deadstring Brothers?

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

Yes, excellent band. They have four mp3's on their website, though I've heard other songs on KEXP that I liked more. Wish I had caught them at Iota.

Defintiely get S/T and Nobody's Darlings.  S/T leans more towards country, while Nobody's Darlings leans more towards rock, but they're both solid albums.
 
 And 'hell yeah' to the Drag the River' rec.  God I love that band.

Murder by Death is awesome.
 
 And according to the Ottobar, Lucero is headlining.

That would be preferable.
