Loving the new cd. Got my copy from Buddy at Wichita Falls during a benefit and haven't stopped listening to it since. Haven't found one song, note or lyric to skip over and found many to go back to time and time again. Recommended to all no matter what your musical taste is, as long as it's good.
Great songs by a great group
Incredible band that has really found it's true sound...damn good album. Way too many influences to list here. Buy it...you can't miss.
First of all, this is was and always will be my favorite cd. Nobody can get you live and in studio like Mackon if you don't have it get it, go ahead and buy several because they have a way of disappearing after your friends listened to it.
What a great debut! If you're looking for that true Austin altcountry cd, then you've found your match. Most of the songs have a great hook that keep you singing along on those long road trips, quickly forgetting that the cd has been replaying for the third time. These guys have some real promise - as verified by the interest and presence of the great Ray Wylie Hubbard. Macon has managed to maintain a unique sound among the droves of altcountry newbies. Their maturation will be quick and anticipated greatly! I'm sure their live shows rival just about anyone. It's well worth the dunkets!
Love Macon Greyson and Cooder Graw, Rayfarer wouldn't know Texas Music if it bit him on the ass
Saw this guy in Norman, OK. Looked like Pat Green. Had a great sound. Picked up the CD and love it! Another wonderful musician!
They say Buddy Huffman received his Masters Degree while performing with the defunct Front Porch Boys. They say he is now writing songs and fronting Macon Greyson while completing his PhD. They also say he understands the characters of his songs because he has lived the part. Whatever they say about him, Buddy Huffman is one helluva songwriter. Borrowing sounds from Steve Earle and Jay Farrar (Formerly of Uncle Tupelo & Son Volt), Macon Greyson has found itself at the top of the alt.country Texas sound (Imagine what Jay Farrar would have sounded like had he grown up in Ft. Worth). Produced by Texas legend, Ray Wylie Hubbard, "Miles From Here" is an essential part of anyone's Texas music collection. Although a couple of the songs on the album can easily be confused with much of the trite stuff coming out of the Lone Star State these days, (If you put "Miles" and a Cooder Graw CD in your changer and hit random play, you might not be able to distinguish between a few of the songs), Macon Greyson is still an acceptable alternative to the Rusty Schramm's & West 84's out there. Don't get me wrong, Macon Greyson is still a step behind Roger Creager and Jason Boland, but if you are looking for something more alt.country these boys may be just what you need.
