The Buffalo Boy

The release of Grant Lee Buffalo's debut album Fuzzy in '93 revealed the haunting voice, passionate lyricism and veritable genius of Grant Lee Phillips. Since dissolving the band three years ago, he has recorded two devastatingly beautiful albums and here he talks to hotpress.com about his writing, his now-legendary shows in Dublin's Olympia and his reflections on the world. Grant also brings his guitar and harmonica along and treats us to an acoustic rendition of the song 'Humankind.'
