“BUCKTOWN KICKBACK slide easily from Bluegrass to Country to a rootsy Americana at the drop of a wide-brimmed hat…The country palette of the Grateful Dead, The Roots Pop spark of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.” Staff Writer, CITYBEAT, Cincinnati, OH
"Bucktown Kickback Mine Alt-Country GOLD
Dudding — 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
"Americana + Jamgrass + Classic Country = Bucktown Kickback
...Fans of artists such as The Gourds, Yonder Mountain String Band, the Grateful Dead and Whiskeytown will find plenty to cheer about in the songs and eclectic-but-focused style of Bucktown Kickback...The recipe for Bucktown Kickback sports heavy doses of bluegrass drive and fleet-fingered chops, plenty of tear jerking honky-tonk, a sprinkle of rock swagger and singer-songwriter flair, and Dudding’s love of narrative songwriting and easygoing melodies...Blurring the lines between Americana, jamgrass, honky-tonk and roots rock..."
David Brewer, HIGH COUNTRY PRESS, Boone, NC
"Ace Americana band...smart, rootsy, acoustic-based music"
Peter Cooper, THE TENNESSEAN, Nashville, TN
"With a name like Bucktown Kickback, you may as well not even show up to the venue if you can’t throw down with some good old-fashioned, fiery, oh-mama-that’s-what-I-like roots tunes. Luckily for you, these dudes can do that and more, touching perfectly on everything from country slide blues to creepy, creek-bed-at-night Americana. I dare you to miss this."
Josh Ruffin, METRO SPIRIT, Augusta, GA (picks for the week)
Bucktown Kickback remains a potent force on the independent music scene in America today, not only because of its strong foundation but also the support and commitment of those determined to continue a musical journey that began years ago. Described more recently as a type of collective, Bucktown Kickback was forged in the foothills of Appalachia and the rich Bluegrass landscape of the Ohio River Valley in 2002 by creator, band leader and head songwriter Adam Brooks Dudding. Quickly becoming the Alt-Bluegrass/Roots Rock darlings of the region by earning respect from appreciative fans hungry for honest, hard driving, acoustic-based original music, Bucktown Kickback keeps electrifying listeners with their live performances and three studio recordings, continuing to add new collaborators to their (r)evolving roster of extremely talented musicians, songwriters and artists.
Shortly after releasing their highly acclaimed debut album SPEAKEASY (2005 Whirled Werks Music) which saw heavy rotation on AAA, Independent and College Radio stations throughout the U.S. and abroad, Dudding followed the flow of creative energy southward to Nashville, TN where, since 2006, he’s lived and set up BTKB’s base of operations for the band’s last two releases and promotional tours. Performing in over 20 U.S. States throughout the Southeast and Midwest including music hubs like New York City, Chicago, IL, Nashville, TN, and Austin, TX, Dudding and his band continue to win over live music fans and booking agents at legendary venues like the Bluebird Cafe, The Knitting Factory, Eddie's Attic, Canal St. Tavern, Newport Music Hall, Proud Larry’s, Gauley River Festival, Blue Ridge BBQ Festival and Floydfest while getting wonderful opportunities to open up for Alabama, Junior Brown and Railroad Earth along the way.
