Lucid
1997
Favorite tracks: Wonder, Better Tomorrow, Mystic Buzz
Sleeper tracks: Come On Back, C MInor Contribution
A band that helped start the 'roots rock' assault of the 90s, carved a niche and quickly faded.
Got hooked on FJB because of my friend Bryan and Kaukauna River Fest or Jam or whatever it was called in 1994 (was a volunteer "roadie" when they played there the summer after senior year). Lucid came out in Sept. '97 and I remember spinning the CD quite a bit during parties and hang-out sessions with my friends. I went to 3 or 4 shows on the tour supporting the album and was able to get backstage at Summerfest to briefly hang with the bass player and drummer. I really love the memories this album produced.
It's good radio rock music. Good hooks and vocal harmonies. "Better Tomorrow" is probably their best song. It was a shame they couldn't ride the wave of momentum they created with this album.
