Buck has been around for years, playing guitar with the likes of Clifton Chenier, Katie Webster, Henry Gray, Lazy Lester and on Paul Simon's Graceland album. His second solo recording shows why he has played on hundreds of recordings. His playing is crisp and clean, very tasteful without the "let's see how many notes I can play" mentality. He will let a few notes tell the story with a deep feeling. This one is blues with a bit of the swamp thrown in. Buck does include a couple of zydeco tunes to share his roots. One highlight is "The Blues is Killing Me", a Sinegal original slow blues about life's misfortunes. If you like down-home blues with a little spice and great guitar work, you will want this one too. Buck has certainly made the best of a Bad Situation.
