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.

I always seem to reach for Since, but Impasse has been sounding perfect this afternoon. I'd highly recommend you check out The Hill. It's amazing... Thanks for reminding me about Impasse, Ryan.
