Tune of the Day
@ghosthouse - I've seen Buick 6 twice in the last year. They are a solo act, but are also the backing band for Lucinda Williams for the last couple of years. They opened in support of Lucinda the last 2 times I saw her. They were excellent as a solo act, doing all instrumentals, and they are a fantastic backing band for Lucinda. Happy Weekend....... |
Hi @reubent - That’s great you know who I’m posting about and that you’ve seen them live. They opened for Lucinda when she played at our little State Theater a few months ago and then backed her when she performed. I have not seen them in a solo concert appearance but would like to. I enjoy the fact they do instrumentals and like their sound a lot. All three seem like very competent musicians. I especially appreciated the tastefully soloing from the lead guitar player and the absence of the stereotypical rock posturing. Maybe it would be different if they were the featured act. I hope not. Good exchanging notes with you. Going back through some of the links people have left. Came upon your "The Heavy". I liked the sound on that Short Change clip. Also on the How You Like Me Now (thought the video kind of creepy in parts) that came up afterwards. They certainly combine a lot of different styles. The Wiki article is helpful. They seem pretty young. I don't know how they manage to assimilate all those different sounds that were made over a lot of years and turn it into something that seems authentic and unique. I'll be checking them out further, I think. |
Thanks for posting the Buick 6. I love Lucinda and like Buick 6’s sound and general vibe. Here is a little electric Neil Young from the 2015 Farm Aid concert I have been enjoying lately. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=os1TmpmjVug |
