Well, 2019 is off to quite a start. Medical issues that started back in July kind of put the brakes on my promotional appearances for both the new book and the album. The latest album, Makin it Back to Macon, is out there and doing well. We have received airplay on some fine radio stations worldwide, and we thank you! We are gearing up for a “relaunch” soon to get the word out about the album which was produced by the legendary Paul Hornsby of Capricorn Records fame in Macon, Georgia. Paul also plays some fine Wurlitzer on the disc, and another true star, Tommy Talton (Cowboy) contributed some fine guitar, slide and Dobro. The cast is rounded out by the world’s greatest left- handed drummer, Towson Engsberg (Tommy Crain & the Crosstown Allstars); Joey Parris on bass (Silver Travis Band); Daniel Jackson on guitar (Silver Travis); Greg Yeary on guitar (my long time band mate and cowriter); Texas Honky Tonk Hero Billy Eli; and the great EG KIght on vocals. It’s my first full-length release since 2005 and I feel like its my best. I hope you’ll check it out. You can order directly from me or from CDBaby, Amazon and other online retailers.
My current book is doing well also, and we plan a reboot on that as well. I was unable to do my usual book signings and hope to do a few. The book is a follow up to CAPRICORN RISING, andother collection of southern rock interviews with members of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Blackberry Smoke, Gov’t Mule, Molly Hatchet, the Outlaws and many more. It is called From Macon to Jacksonville: More Conversations in Southern Rock and is also on the Mercer University Press. I was proud to have Charlie Starr from Blackberry Smoke write the foreword. The book is also available from me direct, or from mupress.org, Amazon, Barnes & Noble and all fine online retailers.
August will see the publication of my next book, The Road Goes On Forever: 50 Years of Allman Brothers Band Music (Mercer) and we are very excited about it. Chuck Levell kindly wrote the foreword. I am also happily working with Paul Hornsby on his biography, which will be released in 2020. The man is a walking music history lesson! I’m learning from him every day!
One final note, we recently opened a “one-stop shop” online for ordering our books and CD’s. I hope y’all will check it out here http://michael-buffalo-smith-store.mozello.com
Thank you kindly for the support and kindness. I hope to see many of you soon!
God bless. MBS
