MACON GREYSON - 20th Century Accidents (2007)

On Oct. 9, 2007, the Dallas-based roots rock band MACON GREYSON will release their fourth LP, 20th Century Accidents. The album features MACON GREYSON's unique blend of rock and country while still retaining their fixture on socially stimulating lyrics.

PASTE magazine has already called Accidents “…utterly fresh and vital” and “…straightforward rock ‘n roll” (Andy Whitman, Aug 8, 2007). The band has also been praised for their high-energy live show, which highlights their ability to fuse rock-n-roll gems with country ballads that appeal to subscribers of every musical genre.

The lyrical styling of lead singer Buddy Huffman incorporates relevant topics, and his perspectives in many songs are undeniably fresh. Tracks such as “20th Century Accidents” and “I'm Still Here” emphasize this strong originality by focusing on topics like the monotony of suburban America, individuality as a personality strength, and political tensions facing us all.

Paralleling political rock in the 1970’s very closely in both sound and lyrical content, MACON GREYSON is hoping to dispossess prevalent typecasts that call for Americans to ignore what is happening in the world. Huffman takes much of his inspiration from another famously jaded and cynical American, Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.

LIVE FROM MOMO'S - The Band of Heathens (2006)

RECENT REVIEWS :

Lord, I love this Austin band! Rootsy, bluesy rock in the best Austin sense that feels like it’s been cooking for decades. Four Stars.

- Michael Barnes, Austin American-Statesman

Over the past 16 years I've received my fair share of “recorded live” albums but the Band Of Heathens ”Live From Momo's” truly has no equal. A Top Rank , 5-Star effort by all and in my humble opinion:  One of the best albums to ever come out of Austin.

-Eddie Russell, 3rd Coast Music

The Band of Heathens area rich musical mélange of stunning harmonies and dizzying range. Only superstars can comprise supergroups, but the Band of Heathens prove that sometimes a group of top-notch specialists can capture similar magic. FOUR STARS

TRANSLATE - Macon Greyson (2006)

PASTE MAGAZINE: FOUR STARS
"Look, I dig shortwave-static-as- metaphor-for-the-human-condition as much as the next guy. But the opening bars of Translate’s "Save Us All", complete with crunched-out, Stones-ey swagger, and yes, more cowbell, are so effective it makes you wonder if those northern alt-country posers were just slumming after all … With earnest emotion and flawless arrangements in songs like “Million Hearts” and “Patchwork Alibis,” lead song-writer and singer Buddy Huffman proves that execution still trumps concept. Translate is remarkably consistent—the tracks are durable and even gain potency with repeated listens. More than just a worthy tribute to the enduring effectiveness of the blues riff and the verse/chorus structure, Translate is one of those records that makes you wonder why a band would ever try anything else."

BLACK WATER GOSPEL (Self-Titled - 2005)

FOUR STARS: "It's the searing vocals of Juan Gutierrez that separate Black Water Gospel from the Americana pack. Gutierrez mesmerizes with his beautifully scarred voice and impassioned delivery. Take it from one fortunate enough to see a couple live shows — Black Water Gospel's frenetic energy is no studio creation, but rather a representative re-creation of the band's infectious live intensity."

 SOMETHING BETTER - Austin Collins (2005)

"With a winning tenor somewhere between Radney Foster and Vince Gill, catchy yet eloquent songs and a high-quality, modern style, Houston native Collins (now residing in Austin) proves that contemporary commerical
country can be something far better than Nashville dreck."

- Rob Patterson, Spring 2005 issue of Texas Music magazine
