Grant Lee Buffalo - Fuzzy

I don't really understand why Grant Lee Buffalo didn't sell more records. Their debut, Fuzzy, originally released in 1993 and re-released sometime last year is superb, plus, from what I remember of the trio's performance in Leeds Poly's student union fifteen years ago, they were excellent live as well. There's not a weak track on the album, and "The Shining Hour", "Fuzzy", "The Hook" and "Dixie Druck Store" are lost classics. The only down side to this reissue are the new sleeve notes (thankfully brief) written by band leader Grant Lee Phillips. Apart from making the bold claim that his songs ran "the gamut from majestic to cacophonus," he goes on to claim that,

"Grant Lee Buffalo was captivated by ideas of discovery, and the desire to attain something unique from the rubble of what was."

Oh dear. Lighten up Grant, its only rock n roll, but I like it.
