CD REVIEW BUCKMAN COE by Todd Menzies
From the first note of Love For All Living Things, this album catches your attention. Cram-packed with happy uplifting tracks, Crow’s Nest is a hit. Buckman Coe has delivered another great effort that will have you singing along from start to finish. With a mix of West Coast pop and reggae, Buckman Coe takes you on a musical trip that makes you think you’re on a beach watching the waves crash. Stubborn Man has a real soul feel as it presents an uplifting, strong message. No album is complete without a love song, and Miss Sugar Love is just that, adding the keys and a touch of gospel. Things take a step back for the mellow tale of Stars Over Tokyo, with Buckman Coe’s signature ukulele sound. Then this CD finishes off with the sevenminute track, Kingdom Come, which feels like a mix of Bob Marley and The Tea Party. Buckman Coe http:// buckmancoe.bandcamp.com/

get to know people in a much less intense and sober situation. I get to hang out with many of my friends’ kids and watch them grow as I sit on the couch. Over the last year I have learned that our community is full of talented artists and photographers who have shown me their work while upon the brown couch. Recently, the store changed ownership, and the new owner thought she would remove the couch, or replace it with another. I simply told her I would quit. She laughed… I didn’t.
