THIS WEEK'S FINDS week of Aug. 20-26 "Walking the Plank" - Apollo Up! A winning combination of melody and invective, "Walking the Plank" sounds as sharp and blistering as an early Elvis Costello or Joe Jackson song. But this is no wearisome nostalgia trip, as there's likewise something very present and unbeholden to anyone about this trio's disciplined, fiery sound. While vocalist Jay Leo Phillips (also the guitarist) has an Elvis-like timbre, his voice is deeper, and rougher around the edges; plus, he has his own intermittently explosive guitar to play off [...]
He of the patented honey and gravel-throated warble returns September 24th with his eighth album entitled Meadow . No stranger to experimentation and collaboration, Buckner enlists the help of former Guided By Voices alumnus Doug Gillard and Kevin March, as well as The Waco Bros’ Steven Goulding, in this latest studio venture. Also in tow is veteran Buckner co-conspirator J.D. Foster, yet again back at the helm wearing his “producer†hat as he did on the classic Buckner albums Since , Devotion + Doubt and [...]
In House #1687 : Josh Ritter Plays Idaho This Weekend A lthough he was born and raised in Moscow, singer-songwriter Josh Ritter 's visits back to Idaho, at least in a performing capacity, have been a bit few and far between th us far-- especially at this end of the state (southeast, for those not in the know).

In a completely unrelated post to yesterday, I’m going to talk about a Merge artist who is playing in Vancouver while I’m away getting married. Oh wait, that is exactly what I talked about yesterday. Richard Buckner is playing Richards on Richards with Eric Bachmann on SEPT 10, in support of his newest gem, Meadow . The pairing of Bachmann and Buckner on the same bill is fantastic as both use gentle country folk tinged pop melodies to express the weariness of being alone. Both seem to take solace [...]
I'VE NEVER ENCOUNTERED anyone like Richard Buckner but I'm certain that there's more people like him out there. Here's a man who finds joy in solitude and takes sorrows in stride; a man so weathered by circumstance that it now just beads on his skin; a man whose voice you suspect wasn't always so husky and [...]
I first heard Richard Buckner in a very roundabout way. It was 1998, and I was a freshman in college, undergoing the barrage of orientation activities. There was a big local business fair kind of thing in the gym, with...
TOWN Richard Buckner Meadow Merge : 2006 [Pre-order it] We often use Moistworks to pick out affinities and contrasts, historical synchronicities and recurring threads. But sometimes, one song is all you need. Richard Buckner's "Town", from his forthcoming eighth LP, has just this sort of fullness, and while it's not the only song I've listened to this week, it's made everything else seem like some sort of emulsion. I've tried a lot of different ways to verbalize what makes Buckner so special. On [...]

When I first moved to Raleigh seven years ago, one of the first shows I ventured out to was one given by Richard Buckner at Go! Studios in Carrboro. Buckner, a road warrior musician, was performing his unique brand of alt.country, just him and his guitars. Songs full of heartbreak and regret, betrayals, lingering goodbyes, and little wallet pictures. Captivated immediately by his lyrical story-telling, I went out and bought his entire back catalog, which at the time was 3 albums: Bloomed, Since, and Devotion + Doubt. [...]
Eric Bachmann & Richard Buckner will be playing at Blueberry Hill's Duck Room on Septmeber 27. Bachmann -- singer, songwriter, and guitarist for Crooked Fingers -- has a solo CD coming out on August 22 called "To the Races" on Saddle Creek Records . Buckner's new CD, "Meadow", comes out on September 12. I'm a huge Crooked Fingers fan and both times I've seen them, they have put on a great show. Bachmann has an incredibly magnetic stage presence, so I am sure he will do just [...]

"There are three kinds of American folk artist: those who sit, contented, on a back porch contemplating America’s landscape and ways; those for whom its landscape and ways are something to stand against or move boldly through; and those whose America is a shadowy, impressionistic place that moves inside of them. This [latter] is the area that the sombre-voiced Richard Buckner has been exploring
"On September 12th, Merge Records will release Meadow, the 8th full-length from Richard Buckner. Recorded in and around Brooklyn, NY, this new album marks the auspicious reunion of Buckner and J.D. Foster, producer of Buckner classics Since, Devotion + Doubt and Impasse. The album was recorded in rather Spartan environments â€" Buckner’s apartment, JD’s hallway and an old pencil factory.
