Richard Buckner - Bloomed - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Buckner's eighth full-length soars and swells around his signature trifecta of enigmatic poetics, swirling melodies and that voice - a soothing drawl that's somehow road weary and buoyant all at once. The melodies are fleshed out by an all-star band Doug Gillard (Guide By Voices, Cobra Verde), Kevin March (GBV, Those Bastard Souls, Dambuilders), JD Foster and Steve Goulding (Mekons, Graham Parker, Waco Brothers). Album Tracks 1. Town 2. Canyon 3. Lucky 4. Mile 5. Before 6. Window 7. Kingdom 8. Numbered 9. Spell 10. The Tether and the Tie
