[ROTW] The White Buffalo


It's time for the 'Recommendation of the Week!' [ROTW]  where we pick out one artist or band to dedicate an article to. It's music we've heard and are eager to share with the readers!

This week's recommendation is and I wish I could illustrate a drumroll... The White Buffalo!!

The White Buffalo is quite possibly a legend in the making. A throwback to the time of hard touring, hard drinking artists who really lived what they sang about. Everything about him is big, from his imposing physical size to his amazing vocal range. He’s as comfortable playing in a dive bar as he is in front of thousands in a European arena. Songs that go deep and touch the heart. The White Buffalo.. for me, already a legend!

I came across a few of his songs while watching the amazing show "The Sons of Anarchy" months ago. The Sons of Anarchy is besides an absolute pleasure to watch also a source of great music! In the show itself you will hear relatively unknown artists cover songs by legends like Bob Dylan, Neal Young, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Blind Willie Johnson, Alice Cooper and many more. But the one outstanding artist for me was The White Buffalo.

The White Buffalo (Real name Jake Smith) makes music that can be described high quality singer-songwriter material or as folk/country like, if we want to talk about genres of course.

Ever since I discovered him on the Sons of Anarchy I have been following his actions and he is slowly  upcoming to be an artist of the caliber of lets say.. Eddie Vedder! New video clips have been pouring on to the internet and videos live shows, that when you see it, you wish you where there.

Enough of my crap, time to let the music speak for itself! There will be links to his webstore below!
