RICHARD BUCKNER (us) Artists' artist Richard Buckner steals hearts and ears with his sober songs about broken hearts, deceit, loneliness and loss. While firmly rooted in the folk country tradition, his music is completed with spooky electronics and organs that hold in them the beat an aesthetics of 'folk music before folk'. His smokey, husky voice seems cut out for the dark, somber lyrics that are painfully personal. Richard Buckner's work is of a staggering beauty. It would be a shame to miss out on him. http://www.richardbuckner.com/
