Buckacre - Buckacre (1978 us, nice melodic country stadium rock, 2018 korean remaster)



Buckacre formed in Illinois River Valley, USA, in mid seventies, this is their second and final album. With the addition of a new keyboardist, they have shifted from the West Coast country rock of their previous album to a more edgy power pop/electro-pop sound. An excellent album that shows the band's true character, breaking away from the Eagles imitation. Grant Reeves, whose credits include Archie James Cavanagh's work, makes a guest appearance on alto sax.
