With a pan-Americana recipe bubbling with elements of pop, folk, Appalachia, cajun, zydeco, and jam band, Donna the Buffalo entertained a very loyal fanbase--known as "the Herd"--for almost 20 years before releasing this understated gem in 2008. Singer-songwriters Tara Nevins and Jeb Puryear trade relaxed but confident vocal turns over a poly-instrumental laticework of banjo, fiddle, guitar, percussion, accordion, washboard, and keys on catchy anthems such as "Temporary Misery" and "Garden of Eden." For fans of rootsy sounds with a modern approach, SILVERLINED is exactly what its title suggests.
Professional Reviews
Dirty Linen (p.47) - "Founding guitarist Jeb Puryear adds his nasal twang to the soprano vocals of guitarist/fiddler/accordionist Tara Nevins in alternating lead vocals, set against the rhythms of long-time drummer Tom Gilbert....[T]his may be Donna the Buffalo's most commercially accessible release to date."
