28052014 - Buffalo Killers "Ohio Grass"

Buffalo Killers. One of many bands with the word "Buffalo" in the band name. Starting off rocking, noisy and groovy, and following up in the same vein. Like Collective Soul and Raging Slab jamming with Crazy Horse and, perhaps, the tiniest bit of Alabama Shakes thrown in for good measure? As the album progresses, there's less grit and more harmonies and mellowness, bringing to mind a muddier Teenage Fanclub or a more psychedelic Jayhawks. It's definitely good, but the first half of this record - the one with the RAWK - holds my attention a lot more than the second half. And those white reggae things are just pointless. On this album and more or less any other album by more or less any other band.
