I think some of you non-responders might like this. A bit of a diversion.

Who is Buckner? Buckner is good

I especially enjoy his interpretation of Edgar Lee Master's Spoon River Anthology (Buckner's album 'The Hill'). An ambitious project (each of them).. I know All Music rates it pretty low, but I think that is just crazy.

Timis, PM on the way

PMYSI please - very interested in this
Since, Devotion & Doubt, Bloomed are all worthy entries in the Buckner oeuvre.

I love Buckner's voice; wish I loved the songwriting.

I agree that The Hill is much better than AMG says.

Ok I have listened to Meadow (thanks Timis) - and I must say it has nothing of the energy of The Hilll- everything just seems safe, emotionless. Not to mention the songs all mesh into eachother, all one 'type'.

Perhaps its that with The Hill Buckner didnt have to worry about lyrics but simply putting those lyrics to music (which given the brilliance of the Spoon River Anthology is a plus).

Anyhow, I am burning The Hill to my computer as we (I) speak and if anyone would like to DL it, I will upload it- just let me know. But you have to promise to familiarize yourself with Edgar Lee Master's Spoon River Anthology before you listen - hell at least read this:

Quote:
Ernest Earnest, "Spoon River Revisited." Western Humanities Review 21 (1967): 59-65. p. 63

Of course what made Spoon River Anthology immediately popular was the shock of recognition. Here for the first time in America was the whole of a society which people recognized - not only that part of it reflected in writers of the genteel tradition. Like Chaucer's pilgrims, the 244 characters who speak their epitaphs represent almost every walk of life--from Daisy Frazer, the town prostitute, to Hortense Robbins, who had travelled everywhere, rented a house in Paris and entertained nobility; or from Chase Henry, the town drunkard, to Perry Zoll, the prominent scientist, or William R Herndon, the law partner of Abraham Lincoln. The variety is far too great for even a partial list. There are scoundrels, lechers, idealists, scientists, politicians, village doctors, atheists and believers, frustrated women and fulfilled women. The individual epitaphs take on added meaning because of often complex interrelationships among the characters. Spoon River is a community, a microcosm, not a collection of individuals.

I've given 'Meadow' several spins now and it's starting to click in a big way. While 'Bloomed' & 'Devotion & Doubt' are companion pieces to a certain degree, the same thing could be said for 'Since' and this new reckid. Great melodies, a full backing band and a quivering baritone that just kills.
