Buffalo Return To The Plains
Produced by Jimmy Lafave
Bohemia Beat 0005 ~ Released 9/95
Jimmy made The Gavin Report's
"Americana Most Added" list
the week >prior<
to release!!??
Editor Rob Bleetstein commented,
"You think you can restrain a radio programmer
from playing the new Lafave
a minute past the minute
they get it?..... Impossible!"
Went on to reach #2 on the chart, remaining in the Top 10 for over 2 months...
...and the critics went on stampede....
 "Jimmy Lafave's great new CD might propel him from Austin to the big time... the album as a whole is the best ever produced with an all-Austin cast of musicians and technicians."
Jan Reid ~ Texas Monthly
"Lafave has a voice that somehow combines innocence and pain so effectively that it allows Lafave to wring more emotion from a ballad than perhaps anyone ever has.
When he rocks, he does so with complete abandon. When he chronicles love, it's with complete immersion. There is no pretense in him. His songwriting is as direct and honest as his voice, and he absolutely can inspire the same from his band."
Martin Fullington ~ Music Reviews Quarterly
"Jimmy Lafave uncovers the soul of America. And he does so so movingly and so beautifully that words fail."
Nieuve Revue (European news weekly)
"Lafave is on his way to where every kid who picks up a guitar and tries out his voice hopes to some day go. If this is to be Lafave's national breakthrough LP - and how can it not be? - the song that should get the job done is "Foolish Pride."
Lafave wrings it out with that gloriously emotive voice.... The first time I heard "Never Be Mine," I played it over and over again, at least six times, wondering how a song so sad and gorgeous could
come out of a man who tucks his jeans into his boots. 
"Never Be Mine" is a broken heart's best friend."
Michael Corcoran ~ Austin American-Statesman

In all the earth there is no place dedicated to solitude.
At night, when the streets of your cities and villages shall be silent,
and you think them deserted, they will throng
with the returning hosts
that once filled,
and still love,
this beautiful land.
Chief Seattle, January 12, 1854, in a speech cautioning Americans
to deal justly with his people.
