ALBUM REVIEWS
NOISE & CONVERSATION
BAND BIO
Mississippi's own Buffalo Nickel have been writing and
performing music together since 1999. They have taken their brand of
Honk-N-Roll music from Austin, TX, to New York City.
Buffalo Nickel’s 2002 release on Plowhandle Records, UP
ON BLOCKS, won the band comparisons to original, country-rock
genre-benders like The Byrds, Buck Owens, The Flying Burrito
Brothers and even REM. It also showcased the band’s wit and
talent as songwriters and introduced their innovative, HonkyTonk-meets-Rock
style. Now armed with an arsenal of classic country licks, pedal-steel
guitar, distortion pedals, songs about beautiful girls with bad teeth,
and lots of harmony, these one time alt-rockers turned alt-country have
opened the floodgates on all that is good in American music with
the release of their new album NOISE & CONVERSATION.
NOISE & CONVERSATION has reached #8 on both the Roots
Music Report (Roots Rock) Chart and XM Satellite Radio's
X-COUNTRY Chart. UP ON BLOCKS peaked at #66 on the radio airplay chart of the
Americana Music Association and was on the AMA's "most added" list.
It also charted on XM Satellite Radio’s X-COUNTRY station. In
April 2004, the band won first place in the Battle Of The Country Bands
sponsored by radio station B-95 in Hattiesburg. Buffalo Nickel
appeared on CMJ's Certain Damage
compilation ( #130) with their song I Am Evil.
The song was also featured in the closing credits to the
independent film Eden's Curve which was
screened at film festivals around the country as well as overseas. The
band has been featured on Fred Migliore’s syndicated radio
program FM Odyssey and have also been favorably reviewed in
Roots Town, Freight Train Boogie, TwangCast, Jackson Free
Press and The Clarion Ledger.
Buffalo Nickel has shared stages with
WILCO, Shooter Jennings, Junior Brown, Rodney Crowell, Will Kimbrough, Star Room Boys, Leon Russell, Charlie
Mars, Maroon 5, Luther Wright & The Wrongs, Jimbo Mathus and the
Knockdown Society, the Doobie Brothers,
Confederate Railroad, Alvin Youngblood Heart, Cary Hudson, Mike
West, and many others.
