lucette deluxe hotel

​Lucette from the album Deluxe Hotel Room available on Rock Creek Music (by Bryant Liggett)
 
The saxophone solos on Lucette’s Deluxe Hotel Roomare one of the many reasons the album gets a gold star. The sax pushes Deluxe Hotel Room into an undefinable realm; it is electro Roots that at times dives back to 1980’s movie soundtracks and even some AM Gold. Produced by Sturgill Simpson, his band backing Lucette, the saxophone work and placement in the songs moves Deluxe Hotel Roominto multiple directions. The horn riffs drift into “Out of the Rain,” an emotional cut where Lucette sings ‘I know what I’d wish for if I had a well and a penny, and the sax solo is a perfect touch for credits rolling over a rain slicked, New York City street to close out a film. “Angel” has late 1960’s psychedelic elements in its tone where the saxophone goes from smooth to squonk, the smooth gliding in to follow Lucette’s voice on the dreamy “Fly to Heaven.”
 
“California” is two minutes of beauty, a lazy ballad like a sunny California day while “Crazy Bird” finds the singer pushing into Mazzy Star territory with a dreamy serenade. Piano-driven tracks sandwich Deluxe Hotel Room, the title track a tale of someone wanting to be elsewhere while the album closer, “Lover Don’t Give Up on Me”, weeps openly with only a voice and piano soundtrack. Deluxe Hotel Roomfinds Lucette introducing ambient soul and R&B into the ever-moving boundaries of Americana, and Deluxe Hotel Roomshows them to be a quite welcome addition.
