After the post about Richard Buckner this past May, a friend and fellow attender of that fateful night in Albany in 2001 requested to hear a particular song from that evening. This cover of Joe Jackson‘s “Breaking Us in Two” was a high point of the night and is an entirely be-fitting cover for Richard.
“Breaking Us in Two” – Richard Buckner :: Albany, NY – 9/2001

Also, a recent post at the Merge Blog blinks that there may be some activity happening behind the scenes. Stay tuned, or stare directly at the sun for more details.
Thank you for this! Richard is a true love of mine. I’ve been loving his ballads for more then a decade. Am convinced that I’ll never see him perform. He has so far played in the same town on the same night as my wedding and my child’s birth, along with a longer list of weird stories of happenstance. I’m happy to hear that you’ve been touched by his tunes and bright imagery.
