Richard Buckner, will you be my boyfriend?



I am a late-comer when it comes to this artist.  Richard Buckner is a contemporary of my favorite crush, Jay Farrar.  Not sure how I missed this 1998 record, but a friend had referred to this artist lateley... and I knew his name in the back of my head. 

It was a magical moment when I found his third (and best) album in the clearance bin at Amoeba for $1.99 and soon couldn't stop listening to it (even has some of the the "Trace Era" Son Volt members playing on it).  The following week I found almost his entire catalog right in a row in the clearance bin.  I had come to buy one record and left with five for the same price.
