BUFFALO TOM
Buffalo Tom
1989 U.S. pressing

Another from the Boston-centric pile of scores from my son and I’s trip down island.

This is to be filed under “GRAIL ACHIEVED”, as this was the ONLY album of Buffalo Tom’s I was missing.

Their first, & the only one that was released on SST Records. It was also produced by another Boston legend; J. Mascis of Dinosaur Jr..

One of my hometown’s most beloved bands, Buffalo Tom had a really great run. Every album they made was FANTASTIC, and they had a handful of signature singles like “Sodajerk” and “Summer”, and even we featured in the beloved #90s show My So Called Life.

This self titled album is BT at their noisiest & most ramshackle; something I’m sure you can blame Mascis for. 😂

Still, you can tell it is very much the same Buffalo Tom that would break through a bit later.

Incredible band, clsssic albums all.

BUFFALO TOM
Sleepy Eyed
1995 UK pressing

Just in between shifts of Christmas shopping at the moment; having a quick spin and a bite to eat before I head back out to the Yuletide abyss.

Ever since I listened to Bill Janovitz’s solo album Lonesome Billy this morning, this has been in my head all morning while I was out, so I knew I’d throw it on today.

My favorite Buffalo Tom album of them all, and typically, something I play a lot during the AUTUMN months.

The album’s signature single “Summer” is an all time tune for me. One of those ‘time machine’ songs that when I hear it, I’m instantly back in that wonderful time as a kid in Boston.

Tangerine, Sunday Night, Souvenir, Your Stripes, Clobbered… just a flawless #alternative album from a far better and honest time.

I didn’t realize these had gotten so expensive. Holy expensive, Batman!

Found myself strumming Mountains Of Your Head on my acoustic. So had to play it. Love that opening riff.

It is beyond me to explain the first phrase in the attachment's caption, but otherwise it seems to me this book announcement is likely to interest a lot of people. The Cars remains one of my all-time favorite bands.

Bill Janovitz also wrote a well received book about the great Leon Russell. The author picks great topics.

My latest Buffalo Tom purchase is "New Girl Singing." The official video is well worth seeing. You may come away with a crush on the "New Girl."
