Sep 18, 2015This is a record that takes its time, relying a lot on Rick Steff’s piano and organ to color in between the music’s straight lines. That’s not to say that Nichols avoids hooks, or that the songs don’t still stick in the head.
-
Sep 23, 2015They’re at their most fun singing about whiskey while the brass section forces you to get up and dance. But on All a Man Should Do, they deliver something special--an album that shows our weary travelers making peace with the world and maybe even finding happiness in it.

Sep 17, 2015Even on an album full of obvious nods to music of the past, Lucero manages to surprise.
-
UncutSep 25, 2015All A Man Should Do is a thing of considerable depth and sensitivity. [Nov 2015, p.79]

MagnetSep 17, 2015The Memphis ambassadors display strength after songwriting strength. [No. 124, p.59]

Sep 22, 2015All A Man Should Do keeps their solid streak going while tweaking the formula just enough to both earn new converts and surprise the faithful.

Sep 17, 2015Nichols's gravelly vocals are more immediate and heartfelt than ever, especially on the dark, ruefuI I Woke Up In New Orleans, about self-destructive alcoholism. Lighter subject matter works less well (the pleasant ditty I'm In Love With A Girl, the lacklustre Throwback No. 2) but has enough southern soul to keep things interesting.
