Zusatztext Praise for Richard Buckner and Cuttings from the Tangle : “During a career spent crisscrossing the country, Buckner has seen plenty. In all those hotels between here and there, at those bars and truck stops and lounges, he would sit and listen . . . Buckner puts that power of observation to good use.”—NPR’s Morning Edition “This book confirms a truth hinted at all these years in the language of his lyrics: Buckner is a writer.”— Literary Hub “There are three kinds of American folk artists: those who sit, contented, on a back porch contemplating America’s landscape and ways; those for whom its landscape and ways are something to stand against or move boldly through; and those whose America is a shadowy, impressionistic place that moves inside of them.
