FUZZY
Fuzzy is the debut album by Los Angeles rock group Grant Lee Buffalo, released in 1993. Called “The best album of the year hands down” by R.E.M’s Michael Stipe, “Fuzzy would galvanize the sound of Grant Lee Buffalo, i.e., the acoustic feedback howl of overdriven 12-string guitars, melodic distorto-bass, tribal drum bombast, the old world churn of pump organs and parlor pianos”. (More from Wikipedia)
Grant Lee Buffalo, Fuzzy (single) – Led by singer-songwriter and guitarist Grant Lee Phillips, the alternative rock band Grant Lee Buffalo was a fave of critics and fellow musicians alike that never broke into the mainstream. Their music is an infectious blend of roots rock, psychedelia and country; and I sure wish I had more of their music. “Fuzzy” is the title track of the band’s debut album, Fuzzy (1993). Michael Stipe, the lead singer of R.E.M. called Fuzzy “the best album of the year hands down”. This single CD only has two versions of the same song, but I have pushed the “Play” button a second time on more than one occasion.
