take
me to Humbucky NOW!
Humbucky is now
available in the States via cdbaby, the coolest webshop around! Here's the
direct link: http://www.cdbaby.com/cicerobuck2
Of course, for UK folks, Humbucky is available via our website and now thanks
to our distributor Backs Records/Shellshock, you can find it on Amazon.co.uk
and at most major retailers (ask for it!). Special thanks to UNCUT MAGAZINE
and MAVERICK for featuring us. Super Tiny Records has three releases - Cicero
Buck's two cds and the fantastic cult favourite 'Moon Over the Downs', the
Trailer Star Tribute charity disc.
Take me to the SHOP!
We have one live
date left this year and some dates are coming together for next year. Always
check the tour page at www.supertinyrecords.com
AcousticCity! Colchester,
UK, Saturday, December 11. 8pm
(we will be donating a portion of our proceeds from this show to the humanitarian
crisis in Sudan, feel free to chip in). Thank you James for working so hard
to bring great music to Colchester!
Last but certainly not least, Cicero Buck's biggest news is that the duo will
become a trio in May! That's right, we're making room for one more. So definitely
make plans to catch a show this winter because touring will be on hold until
late summer/early fall, with the exception of a festival or two.
So... have a great holiday season and enjoy the music. I leave you with our
latest review compliments of Classic Rock Society.
Best wishes from Kris and Joe, Cicero Buck
...Just as I
was about to consign them to the 'Where are they now' category, Anglo-American
husband and wife duo Kris Wilkinson and Joe Hughes (aka Cicero Buck) are back
with a brand new album. Their debut album, 'Delicate Shades of Grey', was
one of my albums of the year in 2002 and I'm pleased to report that the long
wait has been worthwhile, 'Humbucky' is a cracking piece of work.
Kris, the American half, has a quite superb voice as she ranges from immense
power to hushed whisper and handles the many diverse styles which permeate
the album with effortless ease.
Best moment? Possibly the sparse reworking of 'No More I Love You's', the
song which Joe Hughes co-wrote and which was covered by Annie Lennox, but
each and every track offers something new and something different. Superb!
Welcome back to Cicero Buck. - Steve Ward, Classic Rock Society, Nov/Dec 2004
