He is playing The Empty Bottle, 1035 N. Western Ave. Chicago this Saturday, September 19th. And I couldn't be more excited to see him again. This is what they had to say about him... "Richard Buckner is a songwriter of uncompromising elegance. His insurgent country twang is the product of a San Francisco/Lubbock association, being born and raised in California but having a strong musical affinity for the likes of Texas country giants TERRY ALLEN and JIMMIE DALE GILMORE. His impressive catalogue of albums move from folk balladry to tawdry guitar rave ups . Pitchfork complimented him thusly: “whether taking on folk, power-pop, country, rock, or gently experimental drones, he produces uniformly gleaming, misty enigmas. He intones elusive lyrics in a smeared voice, artfully skirting the subject.” And we have to agree. The man knows how to craft and perfectly deliver distinctly lovely songs. Leave the ear plugs, bring the girl." I am, and I will. I feel that Richard creates a world of dark and beautiful contradictions, a crux of mind but more often of heart.

His first three were some of my favorites ever. I had no idea they were out of print! And the man...Buckner is about the nicest guy you could meet. He's a gentle giant. Man. His first three were some of my favorites ever. I had no idea they were out of print! And the man…Buckner is about the nicest guy you could meet. He’s a gentle giant.

Dang! Well how's a fella supposed to follow something like that up anyway? Even Steve Earle's got to tip his hat to Buckner for just absolute painful fucking honesty. Excited for the re-issues, to say the least. “Blue and Wonder.” Dang! Well how’s a fella supposed to follow something like that up anyway?
