Buck 65 set for Irish tour

Fans of something a little different will be in for a treat, as Buck 65 embark on a short tour around Ireland.

The Hot Press Newsdesk, 01 Sep 2005

Unperturbed by the mauling his Secret House Against The World album received in the last issue of Hot Press – Phil Udell, how could you? – Buck 65 descends on the Roisin Dubh, Galway (October 28); The Village, Dublin (29); and Limelight, Belfast (30).

Originally hailed as Canada’s answer to DJ Shadow, young Mr. Terfry is actually from more traditional songwriting stock with Johnny Cash, Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan all making their presence felt on the new record.

Secret House Against The World

Buck 65’s last album, Talkin’ Honky Blues, was something approaching a revelation, proof that hip-hop could still be a potent, astonishing force.
