“Little windy but I don’t mind,” belts Cleto Cordero the front man of Flatland Cavalry, in the band’s latest release. “Lubbock.”
Growing up in West Texas I am used to having that wind blowing. And when it comes from the North and the sky turns brown I know that it’s nothing more than the Lubbock dust reaching out to touch the Heavens.
Cordero originally wrote the song Lubbock years ago, the song first debuted about 5 years ago on YouTube to celebrate his home team Texas Tech basketball at the National Championship. Since then Flatland fans every where have been begging for its release.
The time has finally come. At midnight on 10/29/24 the song was dropped. It’s the second single accompanying, “Three Car Garage” that has released for an all new Flatland Cavalry album which will feature all the band’s favorites from the past decade.
I am not from Lubbock as I live a few hours south but the song reminds me of going home and going to Lubbock is like home for me. I think this will resonate with most folks who listen to this great tune.
Cleto Cordero is a song writer that’s should rank up there with the best of the best and his band Flatland Cavalry is pure gold.
Pancho.
