Babaux and The Peacemakers proof that is hard to beat playing live when recording roots music. Lucky 13 captures four musicians from the Colorado scene locking in as one in the Brightside Studio in Denver. Cristian Basso's gravelly voice is a perfect fit for melancholic storytelling. It his 13th album since he started out as a musician - hence the album's title and although the dreams of making it big are long gone, he knows that he is catering to a loyal audience that keeps him on the road.
Backed by Eric Martinez: guitar, Alana Velvis (drums) and Niek Velvis (bass) he sounds totally at ease. The open road is the one mistress he can't get away from. No matter the craving for settling down, he knows he will leave once more (Wide Open Horizon, Bye Bye To You). Basso has embraced his restlessnes as a given and he taps into it to write yet another soulful blues song.
