"Here I am waving a Buzzard flag all by my lonesome. I'm gonna check this review in a couple months and I bet I'll still be the only one here. And now this: Tucky Buzzard toured with the likes of Deep Purple when I caught up with them. I had no idea who they were other than another British rock & roll band. Onstage, they started a hot and rockin' set that had the crowd jumpin'. The cuts off this 2 in 1 cd sounded awesome as they blasted us with Run in the Morning, Superfine Lady, Wine and Wimmen, Bobo's Hampton and the Last War. I wanted to hear more, but when you open for Deep Purple, you're on a certain timeframe. These guys are like a cross between the Stones and Humple Pie, heavy on the guitar, due to their lead and rhythm combination. They were so close to finding the fame that eludes so many: waiting on the wings ready to go onstage at the California Jam, they got bumped off(that's the year the C Jam featured Heart, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Emerson, Lake and Palmer) Bill Wyman produced these two original releases."
Way ahead of their time

"I've actually got both of these releases on LP, along with the one before Buzzard,just called Tucky Buzzard(which is my favorite,incidentally)In my opinion,they beat the Black Crowes at their own game,and 25 years earlier,no less.Hell,they even stole their LOOK,fer crissakes!Put simply,kickass pub rock and roll with topnotch singing and honest to goodness SONGS.Wholly underappreciated (as so many of my favorite bands seem to be).Any rock and roller would do themselves a huge favor by picking up any of their four releases."
Allright on the night/Buzzard

"A few months ago, I got a copy of the album, Tucky Buzzard: Allright on the night/Buzzard. I haven't been able to put it down since. This is some of the best boogie rock I've heard in a long time. How these guys weren't bigger then they were is a mystery to me. This CD is actually two albums in one and I believe that it's a Russian boot. The only negative thing I can find is the sound quality isn't so hot. I heard that the origional two albums were much better in quality, but I don't think their being manufactured at this time. They were both released on the Purple lable back in 1973 and were probably discontinued in the late 70's. I read that Bill Wyman is remastering all their albums, so hopefully he'll get to these two soon. He might wind up selling them through his website also. Really good album and I recommend it to any boogie rock fan"
