5.0 out of 5 stars
Better late than never.,
This review is from: Don't Call Me Buckwheat (MP3 Download)
My fault that Garland Jeffreys crossed into and out of my consciousness shortly after "Wild in the Streets". A week or so ago there he was on Letterman doing his new anthem "Coney Island Winter". Half asleep, I sat bolt upright. It was no longer a question of where he has been, but where I have strayed (Ok, it's not so bad, it was largely into Classical Music). In my quest for Mr. Jeffreys' Rock and Roll purity I discovered "Don't Call Me Buckwheat". Even forgetting the political message, that is still as vital and valid as when the album was recorded; the music and musicality is simply spectacular. So buy this one without hesitation and double your pleasure with "The King of In Between".

I went to diversity training at work today. It got me thinking about this CD, so I dug it up. It really is pretty damn good and still holds up. The CD is mostly about racism and what it's like to black in America. The music is great rock and roll with a bit of reggae. I highly recommend it.

One of the Best Rock Albums Ever,
By Dan Lauber "Dan" (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Don't Call Me Buckwheat (Audio CD)
Seriously, I've got to call this one of the greatest rock albums ever. Now I admit I am a fair housing attorney and city planner very focused on bringing an eventual end to American Apartheid. To me, this CD encapsulates all that rock can be: thought-provoking music with a conscience -- and great melodies. It's a shame that it was pretty much ignored, as evidenced by the small number of consumer reviews posted here. "Color Line," "I was Afraid of Malcolm," "Racial Repertoire," "Don't Call Me Buckwheat," and "Hail Hail Rock 'N" Roll" are standouts with their piercing lyrics and memorable melodies (and let's not forget the sheer fun of the doo-wop album closer "I'm Not a Know It All" -- which could be Jeffreys' self-depricating coda). All in all, this is what can be great about rock music.
