Cicero
Buck joined forces in the summer of 2000.
Kris began a music career in high school and college, forming her first band,
Perfect Strangers, in Cleveland, Mississippi in the mid-80's with fellow songwriter
Scott Coopwood. Meanwhile, Joe Hughes was enjoying success as one half of
the duo the Lover Speaks and they had just released their first album with
a wonderful song on it entitled 'No More I Love You's'.
Kris
eventually ended up in Nashville and from 1989 to 1999 you might have heard
of a group called For Kate's Sake. Featuring some great players who have gone
on to other fantastic projects, For Kate's Sake was an acoustic rock act with
a strong local following. Joe came to one such gig at the famed Exit/In and
the rest, they say is history.
Kris moved to England in the summer of 2000 and immediately Cicero Buck began
working on songs. Delicate Shades of Grey, their first release, was recorded
in London in the spring of 2002 and released on their own label, Super Tiny
Records. 'It came from Atlantis' said No Depression magazine and Uncut magazine
gave it a three star thumbs up.
Their second album, 'Humbucky', was released in the fall of 2004 and features
their own material plus an acoustic version of Joe Hughes and David Freeman's
smash 'No More I Love You's'. Featuring top players from Nashville, production
by Nick Swannell, and a co-write with Pierce Pettis, it is a fine example
of what happens when music just happens...
