“Lou Dominguez's ‘Hanging at the Luna Star’ is fourteen folk songs in the tradition of Pete Seeger, Phil Ochs and David Olney – honest and unafraid of confronting hard truths, but delivered lightly and with grace.” - AMERICANA HIGHWAYS, Elise Cady - October 2024
“You might be reminded of legends like Seeger, Springsteen or Ochs when spending time with Dominguez’s music, and the inclusion of accordion, strings, sitar, dobro and mandolin only adds to the appeal.” - Matt Booth and Kiely Connell - Take Effect Reviews - June 2025
“The United States of Debt” makes brilliant connections. He illustrates how the working poor are bringing their little government support in the form of food stamps to the same superstores that are underpaying them in the first place. He also nails the comparison between what’s going on now and the company store of days gone by, a system most roots music fans know of thanks to “Sixteen Tons.” - --DJ Trevor WUSB - COUNTRY POCKET - December 19th 2024
"His songs perfectly combine old Folk/Americana components with modern inspirations, giving them a timeless and modern flavor.” - Viberate.com Online Reviews / Viberate.com December 2024

‘Hanging at the Luna Star’
As a tribute to my favorite place to hang out and to play music, The Luna Star Cafe in North Miami, FL., the record is called “Hanging at The Luna Star." The musicians who play on this record regularly record in Nashville and in Muscle Shoals.
The songs range from the auto-biographical, - ‘Hank Songs at the Luna Star’ and ‘Once Upon a Time’; to the political, - ‘United States of Debt’ and my own version of Tracy Chapman’s ‘Talkin’ Bout a Revolution’; I’ve also written about relationships, like ‘Just Anyone and ‘The Runner Up’; the environment, ‘Our Maldives’; addiction, ‘Last Time Again’; and even a song about writing songs, ‘Feels Like Saying Amen’.There is a little something for everyone on this record!
