What They're Saying About Chris Lucas, AT
THE SPEED OF LIFE:
"The songs of
guitarist extraordinaire, Chris Lucas, are pointed and poignant,
unforgettable observations of hardship and hope in a troubled world."
- Gordon Ely, Billboard Magazine
"...sometimes fiery, sometimes mellow, always tasty. And that refers
only to his fingerpicking. When Lucas engages a cover or floats an
original, the equation equals intelligence married to passion.
AT THE SPEED OF LIFE is band for the buck."
- George Francis Maida, The Electric Croude, WCVE-FM/NPR
"... mixing stellar guitar styling with introspective vocal and
lyrical craft.. guitar fans can focus on Lucas' complex and satisfying
instrumental work. Delving into open tunings and unerring tone, Lucas'
six-string fretwork pushes his musical ideas along gently yet
forcefully throughout his arrangements, and his playing is first-rate.
Others will find Lucas' affirming wordplay sung in an Art Garfunkel-meets-Graham
Nash resister the touchstone that allows entry into Lucas' world of
spiritual quest."
- Ames Arnold, Style Weekly
"Chris Lucas
has a style that is reminiscent of Leo Kotke, with slicing leads and
rhythms that ebb and flow through each piece like sitting on a remote
beach, listening to the waves on the sand. The stark lyrics speak
directly to the spirit of the listener, and each song is like a
journey with a soundtrack. Few are in this league, and Lucas'
music will be at the top of your 'I listen to these a lot ' stack."
- Lisa Chaddock, Anwer Hymn Radio, San Diego
