From country-rock barnburners to Twenties-style country-blues, Oliver Buck draws deeply from the well of the great American country, blues, and folk traditions.
Bio / Background
Singer-songwriter Oliver Buck proudly wears his influences of his sleeve. Part road-dog and part music historian, Buck draws deeply from the well of American popular music from nineteenth century ballads, to Hank Williams and Johnny Cash, to Bob Dylan and The Band. On his recordings and in live performances, he enthusiastically mixes the old with the new--from barnburning originals like his "Troubadour Life," to plaintive classics such as "You Win Again," to his arrangement of the Civil War song "I've Been All Around This World"--as if tracing back the common thread that links the country and alt-country music of today to its earliest sources.
Buck, who has a Master's degree in American history, is particularly fond of the 1920s-50s era when, he says, "country, blues, folk, and rock & roll were all mixed up together. Sure, the marketers and radio programmers tried to separate artists into genres. But for the most part, musicians and songwriters hadn't gotten the message yet.
