White Buffalo

Det andra albumet från americana blues-maestron The White Buffalo är nu tillgänglig i Europa för första gången med fyra bonusspår. Ursprungligen släppt i USA 2012. The White Buffalo är en skapelse av artisten Jake Smith och musiken har spelats i den framgångsrika i tv-serien "Sons of Anarchy".<br/><br/>LP med en annan låtordning än CD-versionen och med en snabb A-sida och en långsammare B-sida.

Love and the Death of Damnation follows the White Buffalo's (aka Jake Smith) celebrated song cycle Shadows, Greys & Evil Ways, about an Iraq War veteran's complex return to society. This set is more conventional in scope; its 11 songs aren't unified thematically but still offer uncommonly strong storytelling. Smith's protagonists are almost always marginal characters and his songs offer them voices without judgment. He presents these tales in an imaginative musical palette. He ranges from edgy Americana ("Last Call to Heaven," "I Got You") to alt-country ("Dark Days," "Home Is in Your Arms") and raw roots rock & roll ("Modern Times"). Along the way are unexpected production touches -- mariachi horns in "Chico," a jazzy trumpet solo in "Last Call to Heaven" -- that add depth to his stories and dimension to his characters.
