5.0 out of 5 stars Still great and unfortunately relavent, October 24, 2007

By	Sid V "Sid" (Bayside, NY USA) - See all my reviews

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pure Garland, January 5, 2006

By	O. J. Dean (Texas, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I like the music on this CD better than any of Garland Jeffrey's other CD's. Don't get me wrong, the first two of his solo CDs are good - I enjoy listening to them. Don't Call Me Buckwheat has a very different sound to it. It's got less of the bluesbar, busy sound of some of his other music. It sounds cleaner and more of a blending of his earlier musics. There is a peace to it, along with an edge. In a sense, it's a more complex sound with less of the needless frills.

if you are a fan of the wild in the streets jeffries
you can skip this buckwheat cd. its a look at the racial
politics of 1990 east coast usa. titles like color line,dont
call me buckwheat,afraid of malcolm, racial repertoire,
spanish blood and murder jubliee are way over the edge.
the obama era makes this cd just plain an irrevelent.
no rock just a rehash of decades old lame politics.
i listened twice and tossed it out.
