New Gibraltar Encyclopedia of Progressive Rock GA-GH This is the best Progressive Rock band ever since UK and Marillion (and just due to "Brave", their only true classic (not neo) progressive rock album). Starting with their fourth Octopus album in 1973, the band churned out a bunch of flawless albums. Chasing The Dragonfly is the second release by the Spanish progressive rock band, whose brand of mellow progressive rock is very much reminiscent of the pleasant, unhurried, melodic style of Italian prog bands from the mid seventies, such as PFM. www.gepr.net /ga.html   (16101 words)

[Deathwatch] Paul 'Huckle-Buck' Williams, musician, 87 Saxophonist Paul 'Huckle-Buck' Williams Dies at 87 Wed Sep 25, 5:28 PM ET NEW YORK (Reuters) - Jazz saxophonist and band leader Paul Williams, whose 1949 Rhythm and Blues hit, "The Huckle-Buck," was covered by Frank Sinatra, has died, his former record label said on Wednesday. Williams scored one of the first big hits of the RandB era in 1949 with "The Huckle-Buck," based on Charlie Parker's "Now's the Time." It was the biggest-selling record in the Savoy label's 60-year history, topping the RandB charts for 14 weeks, and spawned vocal versions by Sinatra and others. Williams was later part of Atlantic Records' house band in the '60s and directed the Lloyd Price and James Brown orchestras until 1964. slick.org /pipermail/deathwatch/2002-September/000255.html   (301 words)

Music Fast Horse rides in R.E.M.’s Peter Buck has been part of the indie-music landscape for more than two decades, ever since 1981, when his then-scrappy band from Athens, Georgia, put out their first 45, "Radio Free Europe." Longer, really, if you count his days as a record-store clerk and fan. In interviews and conversations Buck hardly ever fails to mention a new band, rare singles, or a foreign sound he’s just fallen upon, often proselytizing with the same fervor white blues artists had for their African-American idols in the 1960s. Meanwhile, Buck says he and his Fast Horse partners have been speaking to many artists, but what’s certainly on the schedule is a live Tuatara disc and another album from Davis. www.bostonphoenix.com /boston/music/other_stories/documents/02592467.htm   (1520 words)

FLAME THROWER!!! Herezelied and Sehnsucht had greats such as Asche zu Asche, Engel, Seemann, and Buck Dich, the band tried to emulate their rock formula one last time with their new song Adios, but after listening to it one can’t help but think, that was great, but I was expecting something more from them. Asche was a song ahead of its time for Rammstein, while most of the songs featured in Herezelied were rather slow and gothic; Asche sets the tone for the future of the band. Following suit from Asche zu Asche, Shensucht featured songs such as Kuss Mich, Buck Dich, Tier, and the album song Sehnsucht. ucsu.colorado.edu /~wannlund/music04.html   (734 words)

Zeek: Music: The Fast Horse Hootenanny Tuatara features a barrage of talented multi-instrumentalists, notably REM's Peter Buck and the ubiquitous Scott McCaughey, who also serve as the core members of Minus 5 (one of their albums is called "The Lonesome Death of Buck McCoy."

Chico News and Review - Music - February 17, 2005 After singing the opening line "I wish a buck was still silver," he stopped the song and said, "Do you want to hear this or not?" causing the "yee-haw" part of the crowd to cool it for a bit before the band glided back into the tune like a well-oiled machine. Haggard can be a cut-up at times, as when he did a pretty good imitation of Buck Owens on a snippet of a song.

LMX 4am Reviews The band's name is an apt one, as the former leader of Los Angeles pop punk band Buck dips into the cool waters of country, scales the jagged edge of rock, flirts with the fire and sultriness of a torch song, and puts them all together in unexpected ways to form one beautiful musical landscape. Before she was in the critically lauded Buck, Lisa Marr played in a band called Cub with another young Vancouverite, Neko Case. The problem with the Lisa Marr Experience is that they don't play enough…half of the band is involved with other bands in addition to LMX and the next shows won't come until August at the earliest. www.lisamarr.org /press/-review-LMX-4am.html   (1685 words)

The Stranger - News - Feature - Time of Their Season Buck also cites modern bands like the Shins as continuing to carry on the Zombies' sonic tradition, a cultish appreciation that originally came from three well-known singles--"She's Not There" (1964), "Tell Her No" (1965), and "Time of the Season" (1969)--and a much later fervor for the band's compilations and box sets. As Buck was about to call one of his all-time artistic heroes, the Zombies fan explained his passion for the band: "They're the most harmonically complex band of the '60s, and rhythmically, a lot of it had to do with the way jazz is played. You know, the thing you've got to remember is that most of the bands from the '60s that did really great work lasted long enough that people could see them, like, in a real concert situation, with a real PA that worked, and they could play more than 15 minutes. www.thestranger.com /seattle/Content?oid=15253   (1685 words)
