Having supported The Black Crowes so many times, loved and having an album produced by Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys and just in their first years, it shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone that these guys kick ass.
Heavy Reverie by Buffalo Killers is another proof of these guys’ talent. “Poisonberry Tide” kicks off this album with a really upbeat, great rock song reminiscent of alternative bands like R.E.M. especially when it comes to riff. “Dig On In” on the other hand has a real CREAM vibe and take us back to those early days of rock, the nasal voice really gives a special touch to the song. These two tracks pretty much sets the tone of the rest of the album though this doesn’t mean they all sound exactly the same cause they don’t, each one has something that makes their unique for example while the second song has this really Eric Clapton meets Ozzy Osbourne vocals while “Shake” reminds me to Michael White.
Produced by Jim Wirt, the band approached Heavy Reverie a little bit different than their previous five records, which include Buffalo Killers, the Dan Auerbach-produced Let it Ride, 3, Dig. Sow. Love. Grow., and Record Store Day exclusive Ohio Grass. The band has been around since 2006, after the three original Killers dissolved their previous group, garage-rockers Thee Shams.
