Buckacre - Buckacre (1978)

♫

Yes, it's here. Thanks to Nozmokinh for the rip, it's the second Buckacre album. And a quality rip it is too. It's still Buckacre, but they did indeed shape up for their second album, simply entitled "Buckacre". There's still a lot of Country influences, but it works real well. Like it did for The Outlaws, I guess. But it's a lot tougher than their debut. Some Boogie, some Country. But with an eye for detail, which gives the album extra depth. The playing sure feels like home, excellent songs, wonderful guitars and lovely vocals. What are you waiting for? You know you want this.

Buckacre - Morning Comes (1976)

I was curious about Buckacre because I read about them in Popoff's "Southern Rock Review". I already knew that their first album had strong Country Rock tendencies and that their second album was much more of a Southern Rock album. And thanks to Carambola (who provided this rip) I can now get the first part of the picture.
These guys were not actually from the South (Illinois Valley). And the music on this album, their first, is indeed more in the vein of bands that fell somewhere in between West Coast and Southern Country Rock. There were quite a few bands that fall into this category: bands like Pure Prairie League, Cooper Brothers, Redwing and Ozark Mountain Daredevils. They did, at one time, rub shoulders with Southern Rock bands, as did many of the aforementioned bands. I guess that's why many people don't mind bands like these getting associated with the genre.
As for the music, well, it's very Country Rock. Only once in a while does it conjure up the spirit of Southern Rock. But it's nice music. Would do great at a BBQ with the in-laws. I'm glad I got a chance to listen to this. Makes me all the more curious about the second album. Popoff wrote some very nice comments on that one. So, until then...
