RICHARD BUCKNER
THE AWHILES GROW: LIVE RECORDINGS 1996-2009

NOTE: This is NOT a re-seed of my 2011 seed of the same name, but a slightly different, and better, track line-up.

Call it a friend request, a pledge of allegiance, a thank-you to my fellow Dimers. THE AWHILES GROW is a personal compilation of some of the most stirring of Buckner's performances from a large range of live shows gifted here on Dime (and before). No hard rules for my picks (the flow was key), with the exception that I didn't want to pick many of the standby tunes he plays in every show (Gauzy Dress, Ed's Song, Blue & Wonder, Lil Wallet Picture, etc.), but focus on songs here that I love but were less often pulled out live.

A few things I realized as I put this together: 1) Meadow, the album, is an absolute, no-holds-barred masterpiece. I knew I loved it, but I kept gravitating to the songs from it for this comp. And 2) I was really feeling the lack of a SBD from after 2009!! It's my hope that a few SBD recordings from the more recent tours (living room shows ANYWHERE???) will come to light. Gotta hope, right???

Those who have hesitated in trying out Buckner's music might do well to grab this varied sampler.

This comp will fit neatly on an 80min. CD...
