MP3 Buckeleven - ...about Time
If making music is like the process of distillation (and it IS.), then BUCKELEVEN''S spirit and sound might best be described as a back porch elixir, redolent with the botanical tones of American roots, ingrained with amber waves of story and place".

A slow-sippin'', toe-tappin'' melodic libation, best enjoyed from a Mason Jar-NOT a Martini glass! On the band''s follow-up release to 2000''s critically acclaimed DELAYED GRATIFICATION, the boys offer further "proof" that passionate musicians can not only age well, but even improve on the "kick" that separates today''s fluff from "the good stuff."
On the new record "ABOUT TIME", bandleader Greg Upton has fused his 15 years as a professional writer and musician with an eclectic, burning ring of musical virtuosos and songwriting partner Randall Andrews, to create a fresh batch of tunes that sink their hooks and teeth into the heart of the "American Music Idea" peppered with a matter-of-fact honesty that takes subjects such as love, loss and longing and turns them out with wit, integrity and a sly, "Cheshire Cat Grin". "it''s all about the music," says Upton. "We spend countless hours writing, practicing, and recording because that''s what we do. Whether we see any money from this or not, it''s the passion that drives us to keep going. It becomes part of your identity. When you get down, you turn to your biggest influences and inspirations and it just pulls you back in, like it or not it''s got you."
