If you got the chance to see Avi Buffalo recently then I congratulate you; I missed it. However Avi himself (real name Avigdor Zahner-Isenberg...and sometimes you need a snappier title) came into our wee studio in Edinburgh and cut 3 session tracks on a borrowed acoustic guitar. (My producer Richard Murdoch brought it all the way from Glasgow!)
Ricky and Avi Buffalo
Avi's influences include Simon and Garfunkel, Neil Young and The Beach Boys. He's got all these going on and way more. He's only 19. To my particular delight he comes on the show a week after the septuagenarian Kris Kristofferson. It's my considered opinion that we're playing music that's great whatever age you are playing or listening to it.
We're not going to go too far into the show without talking about Robert Plant and . I haven't heard all the album yet and I love it! What I'm saying is that I love the fact that someone who could be sitting back and organising polo matches is out there making great music and listening to new cool bands...and cutting their songs! For his producer, Robert has picked THE man to do the job...yes, my friends there will be many 'Where's Buddy (Miller)?' moments this week.
In the past week I have been to see Sam Baker at the , I'm hoping to see Wilco and I'm aware of missing Steve Earle and Dave Rawlings Machine. On the site I suggest that you could let us know about what you thought of these gigs here or there and tell us what we missed. There must be gigs in other parts of Scotland we're missing, so let us know all about them.
There will be lots of all the usual stuff. Look out for new releases from Ray Lamontagne and Justin Townes Earle and some lovely things from Furnace Mountain, Frazey Ford, Tift Merritt, Deer Tick and Caitlin Rose. We won't forget about Hank Williams or Bill Monroe in all of this and remember to tell us about your thoughts on our Another Country Movie Club film of the month, '.'
If you still have some radio time left in you I'll be sitting in for the great on his weekend Radio 2 shows for the next couple of Saturday/Sundays. This Saturday we have in session.
Another Country with Ricky Ross, 20:05 Fridays.

Really looking forward to the show. The Band Of Joy lp is just superb and I think it does have Buddys signature all over it. Standouts for me are You Cant Buy My Love, Silver Rider and Harms Swift Way. The Low tracks are off the Great Destroyer lp and that is an excellent album well worth seeking out.
Next gig for me is Josh Ritter and Dawn Landes at Oran Mor on Saturday and then a few gigs for The Americana Festival.
I love Walk The Line, the performaces from Witherspoon & Phoenix are just superb and the fact that the movie does not gloss over the complications in Cash’s life makes it all the better. I bought a box set of the DVD with soundtrack CD and thats great value if you can get your hand on it.
