Editorial Reviews

Embodying the culmination of two decades of collaboration between founding members Tara Nevins and Jeb Puryear, Donna The Buffalo's 2008 album builds on the band's signature sound - a bedrock of traditional mountain music infused with elements of Cajun, rock, folk, reggae and country. The album also includes the talents of such well-known guests as B‚la Fleck, Claire Lynch, David Hidalgo and Amy Helm. 13 tracks.

5.0 out of 5 stars They Did It Again!, July 17, 2008

Tara and Jeb have done it again! The music is Danceable Americana and the lyrics are uniquely true. They've teamed up with guest musicians to add new sounds to songs we've heard at shows for a few years. When's the last time we heard horns with DTB? Jeb's brought back the pedal steel and Bela Fleck brings his banjo into the mix. Tara sings about the struggles of love and Jeb sings about the joys and limitations of life.

There's an unguarded maturity here that brings a smile and a nod of understanding as you dance. Some of the topics, (war, selfishness), cause reflection but DTB works hard to find the Silverlining in these times.

How do people find out about music like this? There is that Avenue called Americana and it bisects AltCountry Blvd. It's in the town where you know-depression but still want to dance and be lulled by voices that comfort and caress. God, I love this place. I wasn't born there but while my mind dances it does so with Donna the Buffalo...and when I die please sing a song or two from Silverlined. I'll be in heaven but if you pick up on this SO WILL YOU.

I have been a member of the herd for about ten years now and love this band. Have all their CDs (Group and Solo Projects) and even a cassette or two. Silverlined is a great starter CD if you are not familiar with DTB or for us seasoned fans . . .its danceable stuff. If you haven't seem DTB in person, find the time to catch a show or festival . . bring the whole family, bring your friends or come alone you are sure to find many friends at a DTB show.
