Lucy by Candlebox
Lucy is an album by Candlebox, released in 1995. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 6 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Simple Lessons”, on 6 lists with a best position of #72.
Lucy, Candlebox's second album, arrived on Maverick on October 3, 1995, and it had the unenviable job of following a quadruple-platinum debut. The Seattle band cut it at London Bridge Studio with Kelly Gray producing, and the lineup was the one that got them there: Kevin Martin singing and playing guitar, Peter Klett on guitar, Bardi Martin on bass and Scott Mercado on drums.
It's a dark, brooding record, all churning riffs and Martin's raw-throated wail, the sound of a band digging in rather than chasing another round of hits. It didn't match its predecessor's numbers, but "Simple Lessons" got plenty of airplay, the album eventually went gold, and four of its songs later made the cut for The Best of Candlebox. Happy Pills followed three years later.
