Spin (12/95, p.63) - Ranked #19 on Spin's list of the `20 Best Albums Of '95.'
Option (9-10/95, p.100) - "Buckner's home base is the transient edge between the bloom of hope and the dark slide into regret, arranged as acoustic country blues..."

Digitally remastered by John Smith.

This is a remastered version of singer/songwriter Richard Buckner's first album, BLOOMED. The 17-song document of sweetly wrought sorrow adds five songs not included on the original release. The majority of the songs, like the gorgeous "Mud," seem to have been birthed by a near-cataclysmic split. The singer warns "Love is such a monster, kid / and power is addictive / Sweet fire and beauty'll turn this city flat / And could you really handle that." Soft rushes of tremulous mandolin and crystalline acoustic guitar paint a backwash over which the singer casts his fragile voice.

Though the album enjoys an admirable range of instrumental colorings, like the familiar, piquant strains of pedal steel on "Gauzy Dress in the Sun" and the folky organ undulations on "Six Years," Buckner's rapturously poetic lyrics and heart-on-sleeve vocal delivery steal the show. BLOOMED is simply the perfect accompaniment to heartache.
