Ben Nichols is best known as the frontman and songwriter for the long-running Memphis rock band Lucero. Now, at age 50, he is releasing one of his most personal pieces of work, a rare solo album titled In the Heart of the Mountain.

After getting a history degree in his home state of Arkansas, Nichols moved to Tennessee and started Lucero in 1998. Since then, the band has released 12 studio albums and kept up a constant touring schedule throughout the U.S. and overseas. 

In 2008, Nichols started playing more solo acoustic shows and was part of Chuck Ragan’s original “Revival Tour”. The same year he released his first solo effort, The Last Pale Light in the West. 

The Last Pale Light in the West was a seven song concept album inspired by and written about Cormac McCarthy’s novel Blood Meridian. A copy of the vinyl record is kept with the Cormac McCarthy Papers at Texas State University in San Marcos, Texas. The title track was used in an episode of the TV show The Walking Dead (season 4, episode 6). The album was primarily acoustic guitar and Nichols’ vocals with piano and accordion by Rick Steff and pedal steel and electric guitar by Todd Beene. 

In the Heart of the Mountain is Nichols first solo album since The Last Pale Light in the West. Although not a concept album, the song titles in sequence do read as a kind of poem.
