Fact of the matter is I loved Buffalo Tom. Saw them when they toured – I think it was at the Prince of Wales waaaaay pre-renovation. I thought they were really something.
Now I listen to them and I think that they sound like Scarecrow and Lonesome Jubilee era Mellencamp sung by a guy who never played sports and maybe didn’t lose his virginity until he was 24. How fucking earnest does he sound? He’s like Jeff Tweedy with laryngitis.
