I know you hear an awful lot around these parts about Lucero and Cory Branan, but I swear, they don't pay us for this. Hell, they'd have to be an awful lot more famous before they could even afford our bar tab. No, we talk endlessly about them because they are made of one hundred percent natural homegrown awesomeness. What's more awesome that going to see their shows? Having them come to HCT HQ to record a podcast.

That's right, my babies, Ben Nichols of Lucero and Cory Branan, together, not only for one of their Brew City Tours, but right here in our living room mocking each other, us and everything else in the world. What we have here in the end is a podcast that goes from soft and subdued to a little raucous. You'll want to tune in for the songs and the stories. You'll enjoy the second listening to suss out the funny bits happening in the background. Besides the banter, we have:

Meantime Blues - Cory Branan
Into Your Eyes - Ben Nichols
Easy (Cory Branan) - Ben Nichols
It Gets the Worst at Night (Lucero) - Cory Branan
Amnesia - Cory Branan
Across the River - Ben Nichols
Little Heartbreaker - Cory Branan
When You You Decided to Leave - Ben Nichols

I know we're uo to number 9 on the podcast now, and yet I'm still figuring this thing out. We did well here, though you might want to keep your finger by the volume button for when it gets a bit louder after the initial songs. It wasn't a technical problem, we all just got a bit rowdier.
