buck meek's self-titled album is out on keeled scales
find it on bandcamp here: buck meek
Thanks to the fine people at Keeled Scales, singer/songwriter/guitarist Buck Meek met me outside of Johnny Brenda's for a quick photo shoot before his set (supporting Sam Evian). He truly couldn't have been friendlier, or more giving. My wife, Merin, conversed with him while I took photographs. It was exciting for both of us because we have been huge fans of Big Thief since we saw them open for Eleanor Friedberger at Milkboy in February of 2016. It wasn't until I saw Adrianne Lenker and Buck Meek (billed as "Adrianne and Buck") open for Michael Hurley (Snock!), in April of 2017, that I started digging into their solo stuff. Pretty soon Heart Was Beat was all I could listen to. Five perfect songs that demand repeat listening. His new album is just as addictive.
