Grand Canyon sound like seasoned veterans on "Lucinda." There’s a clarity and a richness to the roots rock outfit’s first single, which reaches deep into the heart and soul of traditional rock n’ roll with an open-hearted resonance. Led by the songwriting team of Casey Shea and Amy Wilcox, the band tap into a wide tapestry of eighties pop rock and Americana influences with its expansive, blue-collar-leaning sound. But such descriptors are an afterthought to what is essentially a love song through and through, a yearning, bittersweet ballad that is otherwise performed with a tuneful grace.
"Lucinda" is featured on Grand Canyon’s forthcoming self-titled debut record, which is out on November 9 via Bodan Kuma Recordings. Catch them at the Bootleg Theater on November 7. Juan Rodríguez
