RICHARD BUCKNER – BLOOMED (180 GR)

Bloomed is the 1994 debut album from Richard Buckner. The album is remastered and released on CD and 180-gram vinyl. Both formats include a CD containing 11 bonus tracks of radio sessions, live performances, and original recordings of songs that appeared on future releases. Spin described Buckner as “equal parts Bay Area bohemian and dust bowl traditionalist,” while Pitchfork wrote, “It’s a traditional outsider-country record in the lineage of Townes Van Zandt. Buckner’s voice is all honey and oak, his guitar style elaborately twanging, his constant subject matter heartache.”
