The great civil rights leader John Lewis famously encouraged people to “get in good trouble,” the kind of trouble that disrupts the status quo in order to bring about positive change. Well, fans of guitar phenom Lance Lopez are about to have a little “good trouble” headed their way. Today, Lopez releases his brand new album Trouble is Good, an all-original album and his first in over 5 years that surely marks the culmination of this brilliant artist’s extraordinary journey from young Texas blues prodigy to one of the most vibrant voices in guitar-based music today!
Featuring a whole host of stellar guest performers
including drummer Brian Tichy (Whitesnake, Foreigner), bassist Danny
Miranda (Queen, Blue Öyster Cult), and Jack Daley (Lenny Kravitz, Little
Steven and the Disciples) as well as keyboardist Peter Keys (Lynyrd
Skynyrd), Trouble Is Good is much more than just a platform for
Lopez to show off his impressive chops. The songs, most of which were
written either by Lopez or by the album’s producer Joey Sykes, offer
both memorable hooks and surprising twists and turns. Lyrically, the
album reflect on everything that’s gone on in the world the past few
years as well as painting pictures of intense emotional inner turmoil as
heard on one of Trouble’s stand out tracks, “Uncivil War,” which finds
Lopez trying to find a peaceful resolution to a conflict-scarred
relationship.
Those who know Lance know that where he truly shines is on a stage thrilling audiences with fiery live performances of his music. So thankfully Lopez is set to bring a bit of good trouble on the road as well!
