Playing Where Dirt & Water...I swear I thought I was listening to Richie Havens! Reminds me of someone else too, can't pin point who yet.
I really really like this, where can I order the EP?

Just ordered the EP from amazon, my wife is gonna kill me, haha!

Seriously though, this is really f**king good!
Cheers CC!

I knew you would dig this! :)

it really reminds me of someone too. not sure but it's like all of those 70s giants like Jackson C Frank, Gordon Lightfoot, Richie Havens, Cat stevens, Mickey Newbury, all rolled into one big buffalo.

Love Song #1 blows me away, instant classic.

I love all the artists you mentioned there! haha
I remember you saying that you like Mickey Newbury, that's so cool.

Can't wait for my Buffalo EP, thanks again  :)

Thanks to another thread on the forum I just ordered his debut CD Hogtied Like A Rodeo from BuffaloRecords in Japan  :)

I am so thankful that this thread was started.  I haven't been in love with an artist this fast in a really long time.  Can someone point me in the direction of the Hogtied album?  
Title: Re: The White Buffalo
Post by: dragonboy on Nov 22, 2006, 11:48 PM
Hey Red, some info on the White Buffalo forum. Would seem it's pretty hard to get hold of.
I got mine from a Japanese site, here's the link:
http://boards.thewhitebuffalo.com/ShowPost.aspx?ThreadId=397

The site I ordered from is all in Japanese www.buffalo-records.com but apparently if you email this guy he can help you out: doug@buffalo-records.com

Hope this helps  :)

Wonderful!  I just sent an email off.  

I'm officially obsessed, and his music has only been a part of my life for less than 12 hours.

Got Hogtied...in the post today.
Have only played it once but it didn't have quite the impact his EP did on me.
Obviously early days yet...
Title: Re: The White Buffalo

The EP's on the way from the USA.  I've ordered two copies, so I can pass the Buffalo on to a Jacket-loving friend.

My EP arrived today!
Hogtied...is OK but the EP is many times better IMO.
My only complaint is that it's not a full album, excellent stuff!

What's your favorite buffalo song off the ep?

QuoteWhat's your favorite buffalo song off the ep?
Hmm, that's a tough one...
Where Dirt & Water Collide, Love Song #1 & The Matador are my favs but the whole EP is excellent.
Title: Re: The White Buffalo
Post by: thebeard on Dec 01, 2006, 12:48 PM
My favorite is 10 til' 2. It's like a short film. A love song about a hooker, classic.

Anyone seen him live?
Title: Re: The White Buffalo
Post by: CC on Dec 03, 2006, 11:30 AM
Watched Donovan Frankenreiter's Abbey Road dvd and The White Buffalo joined him on stage for one song. It's a short appearance and he's kinda down in the mix but it was sweet.
Title: Re: The White Buffalo
Post by: red on Dec 03, 2006, 05:42 PM
I'll have to check that DVD out.

I'm trying to refrain from listening until my copy of Hogtied and the EP arrive.  It's hard.
Title: Re: The White Buffalo
Post by: thebeard on Dec 07, 2006, 11:54 AM
Got the DVD. The Buffalo's performance is the high point of the whole show.
Title: Re: The White Buffalo
Post by: MarkW on Dec 08, 2006, 04:30 PM
EP arrived today.  It's been on repeat for over an hour, and I'm still not sick of it.  Amazingly, neither is my wife (and that's really saying something)
Title: Re: The White Buffalo
Post by: MarkW on Dec 12, 2006, 03:22 AM
QuoteReminds me of someone else too, can't pin point who yet.

I think I've got it.  Drop Tracy Chapman down an octave... it's the vibrato.
Title: Re: The White Buffalo
Post by: dragonboy on Dec 12, 2006, 04:52 AM
Haha, I haven't listened to Tracy Chapman in years!
Cat Stevens & Richie Havens are the two artists I think of when I listen to the EP.
Anyone else get Hogtied yet? What did you think of it?
Title: Re: The White Buffalo
Post by: thebeard on Dec 12, 2006, 05:51 PM
I got "hogtied like a rodeo" three or four days ago. It's been on heavy rotation along side the ep. Love the song "Story",  I can't get it out of my head. " The woods, I believe, Today' Tommorow, & Sweet hereafter" are all amazing and sparse much like the ep. Very raw and stripped.  The others are all very good  songs yet are a little over produced for my taste. Great words and melodies throughout.
Title: Re: The White Buffalo
Post by: red on Dec 18, 2006, 10:50 PM
My copy of ''Hogtied...'' arrived on Friday and the EP today.  This man has far too much talent.  He's certainly going to be a legend.

I seriously think this is might be the best EP I've ever heard - I just can't get sick of it.

I just can't understand why this EP hasn't caused a serious buzz.
it's been out for over a year now.

got Hogtied yesterday, checking it out today!

I have been playing Hogtied... almost non-stop for the last 24 hours and I agree it's not as instantly brilliant as the EP but it's been really growing on me. It's almost like two different ep's put together. There's the more traditional, country-ish songs (I Believe, The Bar and The Beer, Sweet Hereafter etc.) and there's the more 'challenging' songs that are more like the EP (Bad Man, Carnage, Time, Wrong etc.). So maybe not as hard-hitting and fleshed-out as his recent stuff but stick with it, it's a real grower.

I think the guy is really cool. Unfortunatly I only own his EP, but it's awesome. Saw him live back in '05. He opened for Donavon Frankenreiter. Great 40 minutes and his voice literally filled the whole room. Hope he releases a new full-length LP some time soon.

The new years eve show was truly amazing. Even better live than recorded. A seriously moving experience. I almost shit my pants during 10 til' 2, so beautiful. He closed with some country and western medley including Folsom Prison Blues.  This mans power and vocal range is unmatched. I have no idea how he remains underground. I'm going to see him again tonight at the Orange County Museum of Art at something called The Happening. I can't wait.

Rewind nearly four months: Yours truly puts "Where Dirt and Water Collide" on a mix tape for a dear friend who's moving 2000 miles away.

Fast forward to yesterday: Yours truly receives an email from said dear friend (now 2000 miles away) - she heard a slowed-down cover of that opening track from the giant's amazing EP, [size=20]on a WalMart commercial.[/size]  Needless to say I'm still in shock.  Damn, that's unexpected.

I was looking for this thread to say the exact same thing.  Not the friend 2000 miles away part but the Wal-Mart commercial.  I saw it this weekend.  When the guitar started I knew it sounded like that song but just a little different.  I guess that explains the slowed down part.  Anyway, it was definitely him.

The White Buffalo has been diligently working on new recordings for "Hogtied Revisited". This new album will be comprised of newly recorded tracks from the discontinued album "Hogtied Like a Rodeo" along with new unreleased tracks. It is being Co-produced by Ryan Rhem and the Buffalo himself.

Time for a mega bump.

I had pretty much forgotten about this guy until I fired up Adam Carolla's podcast just now. His guest today? The White Buffalo. I still love his self titled EP from a few years back. He has more albums now I guess.

Anyone seen him lately?
