    Richard Buckner

    in Someone Else's Song

    Posted

    Does anyone have any news on what's going on with Buck this year. The Merge site is no help and no website. Played some recent dates with Jay Farrar and Tift Merritt so that's pretty good. & he did stop by Daytrotter on March 22nd and played 4 songs and they were flawless, but unfortunately no interview. I rank him up with just about anyone and its too bad he's remained an underground treasure. So anyone out there who goes to see him, please relay any news. Thanks.

    :lol It's 1995 all over again!

    was just going thru the posts and i said the same thing right before i saw your reply. man '95 was a good year. The No Depression Era. First time I saw the Jayhawks, Wilco opened for them at the 40 Watt in Athens GA. I think I need to build a 1995 playlist tonight. J-hawks, Wilco, SV, Buckner, Old 97s, Blue Mountain and on and on and on. Great post all.

    This is one of my favorite Buckner songs, but I could've easily picked many more..........

     

     

    Faithful Shooter - Richard Buckner

     

    Ask her when you're upstairs later on

    With her eyes bowing down and her last light gone

    You looked up to her window from the backyard dusk,

    Hired as a shot, lingered as a crush.

     

    Stake me when I'm running and I'll stay down.

    See, I've only had a photograph to drag around.

    Would you take another trip with a candle like her?

    Strike another promise and watch it burn.

     

    Someone drove off slow.

    Another left the day before.

    Time was saved,

    But not a thing was changed.

     

    Faith

     

    It's low and it's bright and it won't be known

    Till you wake up to the sound of the light below

    Did you lose her mercy on some torn-down friend?

    Half of nothing wasted and split again

     

    If one of us had shown up,

    Faded, fond, and tried

    Waiting for some rain,

    Not a thing would change.

     

    Faith

    Monkey Mess?

    in Just A Fan

    Posted

    Does anyone out there have a good recording of Jeff singing the tune, Monkey Mess? I've got a 2001 concert where he talks about writing the song with his son's preschool/kindergarten class, but during the middle of the song he has to direct the crowd to act like monkeys, which is hilarious by the way. My 3 yr old loves this song and sings it constantly, so I wanted to pass it along to his class, but hopefully I can find one without the mid-song banter. Thanks.
