2001 Jim Beam Back Room Band Search Finalist
Debut CD "Lovely Melancholy"
now availble through Miles of Music
http://www.mi lesofmusic.com
Now being played on XM Satellite Radio's alt. country station
"X Country" Channel 12 with DJ Jessie Scott
"Guitar driven roots rock the way it should be. How far off can a band be with a slew of fantastic originals and covers of Gram Parsons and Johnny Thunders?!"
-- Miles of Music Top 10 for 2001, Jeff Hall
"one of 2001`s best local albums...beautifully bleeding lap steel guitars and stumble-drunk Telecasters only begin to tell the story. When she`s not drivin` and cryin` with faraway eyes, dusky-voiced Kip McCloud torch-sings some of the cooles t C&W ditties north of the Mason-Dixon line."
-- STUFF@Nite, BOSTON PHOENIX, 1/02
"...one of the best neocountry album's we've heard in awhile...And we're totally in luv with McCloud's fabulous voice. Think k.d. lan g's without the an noying mannerisms and with much better songs."
-- TimeOut NY, 6/01
"Jangly 'n' twangy describes this Boston outfit's irresistibly catchy sound. But it's the way Kip McCloud wraps her boyish voi ce around lyrics of fed-up loss that gives this effort heft."
-- LA Daily News, 7/01
"There are a million roots rock/alt.country/whatever bands out there right now, so it takes something special to stand out from the pack.
New England's Lucky 57 has that something in the person of frontwoman Kip McCloud... her world-weary voice relates tales of hearts won, lost and smashed to powder in a tone that could only sound that sanded down because of
experience...supported by a band that navigates the fine line between rock and country as skillfully as any in recent memory; the quintet's no-frills arrangements may lack radio-ready
polish, but they more than make up for it with pure soul."
-- High Bias, 2/02, http://www.highbias.com/reviews/20020217.html#Lucky57
"Every song on this disc has a clever lyrical and melodic hook and the production (by the band and David Minehan) is top notch. This is a fantastic driving disc and also a good one for your beer blast."
-- Freight Train Boogie, 7/01
"marries twang to pop melodies...[and]
carries it off with near perfection.
-- Ink 19, 11/01

TOM HAMBRIDGE
at Johnny D's, Davis Sq., Somerville
"Like the 'Beggars Banquet'-era Rolling Stones, Replacements, and X (in their Knitters incarnation), the rootsy quintet fuses an instinctive feel for l ap steel-soaked countr y blues with a whiskey-cured app reciation for old fashioned rock'n'roll...with the exception of McCloud's burnished, molasses-rich voice, it's the sound of guitars--mournful, di rty, ragged..."
-- BOSTON GLOBE 3/01
"If this band were from Austin instead of Boston, they'd be up to their ears in critical praise and free BBQ."
-- BOSTON PHOENIX 5/01
