Donna the Buffalo (BMG)—Donna the Buffalo is one of the hottest and most enduring Americana/jam band acts in the Northeast and perhaps in other areas of the country. When we book ‘em at the Narrows Center for the Arts in Fall River, MA we are overwhelmed by their rabid fans who take their love of Donna the Buffalo (which is a band, not a person) damn seriously, kind of like Deadheads.

Donna the Buffalo

02.01.2006 -- Review by: Stephen Hug

 That said, despite the plaudits, I find it difficult during their shows to distinguish one song from the other, as they mix folk, reggae, Cajun and rock into a nonetheless spirited concoction that gets people moving. Life’s a Ride reflects their live show. Interesting sounds with a lot of creativity and energy. This one’s a winner if you’re into a Phish/Dead experience. The songs didn’t knock me over, though. Give this one 3 ¼ bottle caps out of 4. Life’s a Ride has been a success on the national music charts, so Donna the Buffalo must be doing something right!
