The soul of Buckeye will always dwell in the magic and foggy San Francisco/Marin County hills...but Scott now spends most of his time in Nashville TN. Tbone is in Seattle. Tom, Ray et al are in the Bay Area.
The Buckeye Family Collective:
scott hylbert - songwriter, singer, guitar slinger.
tim barney - bass guitar.
tom wagenbrenner - guitars.
ray merrill - drum slinger, cymbalist.
----
plus peter dominguez, dave zirbel, charlie vestner, steve lanza. Thom canova engineered two records, gideon zaretsky did the demos, so did mark caputo, guy benson and alistair millar at various points. Brian Hylbert and Mark Caputo have played guitar also.
Influences
"Principal songwriter Scott Hylbert's urbane, pensive voice recalls a young Jeff Tweedy, and the second track, "Universe," with its upbeat country-pop swing, would not sound out of place on Wilco's debut "A.M." Elsewhere, there are shadows of Neil Young's "Rust Never Sleeps" era, minor-key laments and plenty of folksy roots. A standout is "Trial," a modern-day outlaw ballad where the bandit is on trial, not for theft or murder, but for crimes against the heart."
-Sophie Best (Country Standard Time)

of Dino Of the House
In odore of fine millenium it makes a sure effect to label a CD exited from little with definition ' country-rock' (at least for who has lived in first person the epici beginnings of years ' 70), but tant' it is. Scott Hylbert (voice - beautifulst - guitars acu stiche, harmonica and per Charlie Vestner (battery and percussions), Pe ter Dominguez (guitars electrical workers, dobro and slide), Tim T-Bone Barney (low and corista voice) and Tom Wagenbrenner (guitar electrical worker, acoustic guitar to 12 ropes and corista voice) they compose this new one group that toes make one's debut with a CD autoprodotto of level indeed enviable.
The atmospheres are rarefied, agresti, bucoliche, but sure not sonnolente neither a lot little ' pallose '.
The brano of opening, Dear Elaine, it reveals one danced airy, with sturdy doses of pedal steel guitar (Dave Zirbel) to to confer a flavor that a lot it makes Southern California.
Of tutt' other stamp it is instead Dusty Roads, where the per formance vocal of Scott Hylbert is indeed remarkable: roca and incisive, the voice accompanies to us along the roads polverose in issue, flanked from the guitars electrical workers of Dominguez and Wagenbrenner.
The sposa lizio between the soft one banjo (Bill Evans) and the guitar electrical worker makes yes that Mansion us bringings back to the mind sonorità never sopite that a lot must to the Neil Young di Harvest (to purpose, listened to the intro of Hurtin' Now and dreammed also) and I pray to You not to forget that we have to that making with a fist of esordienti, at least to record level.
Silver Dollar us filler of botto behind of at least venticinque years, regarding the present, for proporcì a up-time of stamp Eaglesiano ( Peaceful Easy Feeling docet for the use of the steel) asso lutamente appreciable, above all for the search to bring up-to-date the total sound, without to run the risk riproporre all in style ' copy coal '.
Obvious E' that ' ragazzi' has made the inheritance left from i own great groups of years ' 70, Eagles over all, but without to forget ( the Big Ole Little Yonder).
It would be an error to catalogue the Buckeye like ' an other band of country- flavored Roots-rock '. The boys they have character and per sonalità to sell and this album omonimo ravvisa ends of the classic tip of the iceberg.

Art is the only thing you cannot punch a button for. You must do it the old-fashioned way. Stay up and really burn the midnight oil. There are no compromises.
