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 to The Empty Bottle, 1035 N. Western Ave. Chicago this Saturday, September 19th. Richard Buckner is a songwriter of uncompromising elegance.

The recording from one of the nights with you and the ex on drums is still one of my angry favorites. You'll probably never come back here but they were great nights. Richard,

Caught you a couple of times up here in Halifax during that Canadian stretch. The recording from one of the nights with you and the ex on drums is still one of my angry favorites.

You’ll probably never come back here but they were great nights.

Him and TVZ are both musical geniuses in my mind, but besides what we can perceive from these sensual experiences they bless us with, does anybody actually know anything about the stories behind the music? Or about Richard's true biography, not just musical career? Hey, I was lucky enough to have stumbled upon Richard’s music on pandora and haven’t been the same sense.
