Ghost Buffalo

Denver’s up-and-coming Ghost Buffalo band plans to release an album later this year, according to Marie Litton, who was named Best Frontwoman by Westword Magazine in its “Best of Denver” issue of March, 2005. “Ghost Buffalo is a full-time passion for leader Marie Litton,” Westword reports. “The songwriter lends her soaring, haunting voice to the group’s heartache-weary country rock; on stage she’s nearly dwarfed by her acoustic as she gazes heavenward and pours her heart out to the universe.”

I’ve had the pleasure of previewing a few songs to be included in Ghost Buffalo’s first album. Westword is right -- they are truly haunting. And, in addition to Litton’s soulful vocals, fellow band members Matt Bellinger, Josh Coyle, Mike Ricketts, Tom Ventura and guest cellist Angela Kimber deserve recognition for their fine instrumental performances.
