Donna the Buffalo "Funky Side"

[@pianopappy]

Encountered "Donna the Buffalo" at a street fair in Asheville, North Carolina during a visit in 1998 and bought their CD "Rockin' in the Weary Land", which includes this tune. This one, "Sailing" and "Conscious Evolution" are my favorites. Glad to know the Buffalo is still rockin'.

[@ashleyspencer9219]

I'm from New Zealand, and have only just discovered you guys!!! All I can say is WOW!!! Probably the coolest sound I have heard since the '60's, and I am a 66 year old music nut job!!!

[@Michaelmichaelmotorcycle87]

One of the most listenable bands

[@ZZSmithReal]

The guitar work is esoteric; he knows how to play and what to play.

[@mediochreeuchre8391]

Welcome to the herd...they're wonderful.

[@fredbeck7447]

I‘m a 68 year old music nut and discovered them more recently than that. Helped my brother moved to a new house literally a mile and a half from the Shakori Hills Site the week of the festival-it had to be a God thing! I listen to a little bit of everything but lately it’s been 90% DtB. Can’t get enough of them and every song/live piece is a new treasure.

[@Popsimath]

Wow what a great sound!

[@32braveheart]

Yes and this was back when he was also starring in the Good Wife

[@windtested5597]

Incredibly underrated guitar player. A style unlike any other and sadly, no one knows who Jeb is.

[@Grendel53]

+Wind Tested we herd of him...and love him and them.

[@k2ombs]

+Wind Tested Oh yes he has appreciation. He isn't Miley Cirus, but is truly loved. The underground is stronger than the mainstream ...Never doubt that!!!

[@KennethWilliamElkington]

Huge Jeb Puryear fan: love his soulful phrasing and tasty licks! Not under-rated by anyone with an appreciation for a true, humble musician, at one with his Fender.

[@cynthiahouck3433]

I first seen them perform in Rochester, NY in 1991.Love them and proud to be part of the herd. Love you missed you at Bands on the Bricks.

[@luvbigiron]

Saw them at Merlefest 2017. Loved that reggae beat and yes, Jeb is an awesome guitar player and really entertaining performer. They closed off Sat. night with a rousing show. One of my fav's at Merlefest. The whole band is awesome. Very talented bunch.

[@scotttaylor8811]

What a jam. Just smoking hot! Thank you,

[@TonyWud]

In the rain that falls On jive street In the truth that forms On the rising steam I'm here cleaning my connection To the forces that be In a trance of god On the funky side In a trance of love On the funky side In the shape I'm in You can see for miles Shooting through the cloud On a magic sound I'm here cleaning my connection To everything around The groove is getting deeper My heart's open wide So good of you to come along We'll focus on the main beam And we'll go to a world in which we belong

[@jgcchapman]

Why aren't these folks huge!!

[@larryklawiter9168]

Always a mystery how some bands become big while others who seem to “have that thing”, just go along under the radar, and you never hear of them.

[@johnjohnson6207]

Talent sadly has nothing to do with popularity.

[@rosskaske6357]

They're huge in their own way, they consistently headline a large regional music festival (Grassroots).

[@The_Lark]

Them being from so close to where I grew up gives me so much hope 💕

[@bdontsink]

Saw them at Greyfox. They are so funky and great I get goosebumps!

[@davidmichael794]

I love the vibe that Jeb is.

I just happened to click here and, wow, that lady on the accordion is funky, for sure! She is very talented. I know that she and this guy writes most of their stuff, but she seems to have the best talent in this band. I would put them up there with Black Prairie.

[@jerryjeff100]

Mercy. That's good stuff. I don't know anything about this band but I like what I hear so far. Good video, not cell phone dreg. I wonder about the head gear? Why do some musicians decide to take on a look? I hate that avocado thing Billy Gibbons wears all the time. He puts a cowboy hat on top. Not right.

[@johnmccombs3653]

who gives a shit about the "head gear" ? DTB are a very tight band.

[@rallenfontenot]

I'm trying to find out the title of 2 songs I saw them do in a documentary about the Blue Heron Festival. Lyrics on one said "Roadkill" and the other one said "if I could ? choose how I would die". Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for the post

[@robzemanek5878]

If they did a song called "Roadkill" it was a cover of a HorseFlies song, or they were playing it with members of the HorseFlies on stage with them...The HorseFlies are another amazing band from the same spot in upstate NY as Donna, and have always played alongside them at all the Grassroots Festivals and beyond. Well worth finding their albums "Human Fly" and "Gravity Dance."

I am sorry but no - He seems half asleep and I don't think Eric Clapton has to worry. lol He mentioned Jarvis Street - Jarvis is in Toronto

Kenny Chesney is a blight on ALL music, and ain't real country. This is country.
