Buford Pope releases the album
that’s had plenty of time to age
2006 was the year Buford Pope thought he would put out his
second full-length album. Everything was ready for release,
and he looked forward to meeting his audience with a brand
new CD. But all at once it became too much.
”Part of it was the fact that I was already working on my third
album, part of it was all the other things in life that were
demanding my attention,” says Buford Pope.
But now, almost 10 years later, it’s finally time.
“It just feels right to put it out now. It’s been lying mastered
and ready on the shelf for a long while, where it’s not doing
any good,” he says.
One can only agree. The recording, which bears the title “The
Poem and the Rose”, is a richly produced album where Buford
Pope’s signatures – the strong melodies and his raspy gravel
voice – once again make much of the Swedish country-
influenced rock pale in comparison.
