TRIBUTE TO BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD - FIVE WAY STREET (2006)
Bonus Disc Included
This tribute was put together by Eric Sorensen and features absolutely fantastic liner notes from noted expert John Einarson, author of several books for fans of mid/late 60’s rock, “Mr Tambourine Man: The Story of the Byrds' Gene Clark” and “Desperados: The Roots Of Country Rock" and "For What It's Worth: The Story of the Buffalo Springfield".
MOJO: "4 stars..vibrantly affectionate tribute to Buffalo Sprinfield. There`s respect aplenty here for the Springfield`s bejewelled legacy...mostly this hyper-jangly no-frills homage is aimed squarely at the shamelessly nostalgic."
UNCUT: "4 stars..affectionate postcard. Much like Not Lame`s earlier Gene Clark tribute, "Five WayStreet" gather enthusiastic true believers of the pop underground to pay respect to a strong, misunderstood catalogue. Participating artists may lack name reconitionbut, thanks to their intimacy with the Springfield oeuvre, strong performances abound. The Retros` "We`ll See", for instance, transforms a forgotten out-take into perhaps the great lost Springfield single, while Walter Clevenger turns "Burned" into a jange-and-harmony gem ala 1965 Byrds. Most startling is Andrew Gold`s locomotive, "Bluebird", a monster of controlled chaos, one sounding truest to the Springfield`s live legend".
The Power Of Pop: "Buffalo Springfield deserves to take its place as an integral part of the 60s pop pantheon. Highlights of this set Noctorum viz. Marty (The Church) Willson-Piper and Dave (Traffic) Mason with a spine-tingling Nowadays Clancy Cant Even Sing, Maplewoods sensitive I Am A Child, The Gripweeds muscular Down to the Wire, The Windbreakers ethereal Expecting To Fly, Jeff Larsons exciting Questions amongst others. Add also significant contributions from Walter Clevenger, George Usher Group, The Kennedys and Western Electric and you will agree that Five Way Street is a celebration that any fan of 60s pop-rock would want in on."-
