A father and son blues rock band mixing together the old and the new with a bang. With three members over the age of 45 and 5 members under the age of 30, Buck69 is influenced by more than three generations of music. They are influenced by who, what, where, when and how their everyday lives start and end! Music is Buck69's way to express their inner feelings. To cement in history the people, places and things that affect the bands lives. Be it happy or sad, life or death. They write about what carry's them down life's highway. Always in search of that one song! Because: "Great singers, writers and musicians will come and go, but a great song lives forever".
In 2002 after a short sabbatical to concentrate on wife, kids and career, Tom Clawson formerly of "T.C. Rogers & The Blue's Hamilton Band" 1970's Warren, OH. (Singer-Songwriter-Guitar) along with his oldest son Alex Clawson from the band "BHB" Toledo, OH (Singer-Songwriter-Guitar) decided to start playing out as an acoustic duo. Playing originals and covers in and around the local Toledo, Ohio area. In June of 2004, persuaded by his son, the decision was made to go with a full band. The band offers a diverse ageless genre of "Electric Blues and Roots Rock"
Buck 69 is the creation of father/son musical team Tom and Alex Clawson. It is a multi-generational, blues-style jam-band with some off-the-hook guitar playing. For their debut When She Whispers Your Name, they have served up a funk injected blues album that would be the perfect accompaniment to a late night swingers? party. Why a swingers? party? I?ll get to that.
?When She Whispers Your Name?, the track for which the album is named, is like the song JJ Cale and Dan Hicks never recorded together. With its cool Rowland-style electric piano, courtesy of BJ Love, and funky guitar by Alex Clawson it creates the mood of a late night on the other side of town. Tom Clawson?s vocals hint at 70?s era Eric Clapton as he sings the words ?What about the night? / who?s gonna get you through the night?? This up-beat little number could very well be that perfect song the band is searching for.
On the blues-rock ballad ?Good Days Bad Days?, Tom Clawson sings about what it takes to live through each day with the loss of his son Thomas ? to whom the album When She Whispers Your Name is dedicated. The song isn?t as depressing as it would seem, it has a down-to-earth optimism and the music just feels good, and Alex plays the sort of sustained guitar that is at the heart of classic rock.
On the other hand, ?The Monkey Song? is like the joke that went on for too long. It is either a rambunctious song for children about a pet monkey, or a raunchy song from a man who likes his woman to keep her panty zone free of hair. Judging by another song title, ?Sex Drugs Ur Mom & Me?, it?s a safe bet that children weren?t even a consideration. After about two minutes I?d say I got the joke, but the song goes on for another three minutes and twelve seconds.
Slightly less obvious in its innuendo is ?Sweet Spot?, an advisory song about how to keep your lady happy. This track features Alex cookin? up the chicken-fat on guitar, and it exhibits the band firing on all cylinders with a tight and funky groove.
Buck 69 is a solid band with various great songs and some over-the-top guitars, but I hesitate to recommend When She Whispers Your Name to everyone because of the lyrical content of several tracks. This offering is for an audience that shares that special lifestyle; one where bath robed men keep exotic oils on their night-stand and the women can dance for hours in six-inch stiletto heels. Alright? that last part was bullshit; this album is actually a superb example of adult-themed American biker-bar rock.
