Bucktown Kickback Lost In Your Own Hometown CD

"Bucktown Kickback Mine Alt-Country GOLDDudding - singer, songwriter and creative force behind Bucktown Kickback - produced much of the band's 2007 disc 'Lost In Your Hometown' to sound like prime Appalachia. The record effectively balances roots grit and country rock coherence. 'Seven Number Blues' is an enlightened redneck tune that sounds like a 'Basement Tapes' leftover. 'That's Life' is a slow burn of honky-tonk molasses. A Neil Young-type rocker, 'A Shooting Star,' closes the record. But the heart of 'Lost!' is Dudding's songs and lived-in vocals. While the embellishments are tasteful, the material could stand up fine presented by Dudding and his acoustic."Matt Wake, BOOTLEG
