Click to listen to Lucero's album 'Women & Work'

Lucero's latest album, Women & Work, finds the Memphis band expanding on the brass-heavy country-soul sound they established on their previous album, 1372 Overton Park. "To me, it still sounds like Lucero," frontman Ben Nichols told Rolling Stone earlier this year. "The songs are still coming from the same place." The set features performances by a number of veteran session players from Memphis, which adds to the record's warm, lived-in quality. Women & Work will hit stores on March 13th, but you can stream the record in full today.

“Youth Knows No Pain”

Lykke Li | 2011

“Like on 'Youth Knows No Pain' — we are the ones that should demonstrate, because we can take it,” Likke Li said. “We can pierce ourselves, take Ecstasy, dance all night and still go to work at our McDonald's jobs.” Despite the hedonistic sentiment in the song, the Swedish singer also admitted in hindsight her youth had repercussions. “I remember when I was 18-19 and feeling that I know it all,” Li said. “I always feel that I know it all. But that song is about realizing you don’t, and reflecting, ‘Boy, if I only knew what would follow.’”
