This excellent album by Richard Terfry AKA Buck 65 was released back in 2005 as his 10th album. So it’s fair to say when an artist with this much material spreading over more than 10 years is probably going to show some diversity in his work, or at least you would hope?
So I have come to this album with no former experience of his work having no pre-judgment apart from those instilled by Dan. I was expecting a fairly straightforward Hip-Hop album with some cool maybe alternative beats. What I found was a joy that surprised and warmed my soul.
As soon as that funky country beat kicks in and that lyrical rhyme-phrasing magic gets delivered by his cool soothing voice I was blown away. Then the Hip-Hop glitch beat kicks in and I am in love. Could this be the start of perfection? It’s fair to say when the second track starts I get the sudden feeling that I am going to be very let down after all. What develops then is an amazing experience so different from the previous track I have to check the album has not changed. Now I wish all the tracks were of this high quality but sadly there are a few let downs but listen to the whole album and enjoy the highs and lows.
In summary it is a sandwich of outer amazing mind blowing music with a center of disappointment. It finishes well so bear with it.
So the highly anticipated first review by Matt Sim AKA Mega Matt Mega Matt Mega Mega Matt Matt is now published! I am off now to find some more Buck 65.
