Release Notes:
--------
Since 2006Æs Meadow, fans of Richard Buckner have been clamoring for new
material and wondering what was keeping their hero from releasing the new songs
he would perform on the road. Well, itÆs a long story!
First, there was the score to a film that never happened. Then there was a brief
brush with the law over a headless corpse in a burned-out car that had all eyes
in BucknerÆs small hometown in upstate New York turned toward him and his
long-suffering truck. Shortly after a move to a safer, less popular corpse
dumping ground, the death of his tape machine led to yet another reboot. After
Richard called in pedal steel and percussion players and put new mixes on his
laptop, his new ôsaferö place was burglarized. Goodbye, laptop.
Buckner says: ôEventually, the recording machine was resuscitated and some of
the material was recovered. Cracks were patched. Parts were redundantly
re-invented. Commas were moved. Insinuations were re-insinuated until the last
percussive breaths of those final OCD utterances were expelled like the final
heaves of bile, wept-out long after the climactic drama had faded to a somber,
blurry moment of truth and voilα!, the record was done, or, let us be clear,
abandoned like the charred shell of a car with a nice stereo.ö
