Donna The Buffalo: Tonight, Tomorrow and Yesterday

Sugar Hill
With 2008’s critically acclaimed album, Silverlined, reaching the Top 10 on the Americana charts, Donna The Buffalo’s enthusiastic fans – lovingly called The Herd – quickly began hungering for their next release. Now, half a decade later, the roots music syndicate make good on that promise with an exceptional follow-up poetically titled, Tonight, Tomorrow and Yesterday. “All Aboard,” the spiritual opener with a bouncy, feel-good vibe, invites listeners to rejoice in a sing-along that doesn’t require any specific denomination. And songwriter/vocalist Jeb Puryear infuses that funky, fun twist on roots music ( “Love Time,” “I Can Fly” ) throughout the album. Balanced with Tara Nevins’ striking reflections and gossamer vocals ( “I See How You Are” ), TTY proves to be a near perfect listening experience.
