Richard Buckner's voice -- a husky, quivering moan equal parts Dwight Yoakam, Nick Cave, and an agitated grizzly bear -- deserves the spotlight it's gotten on his dark country-folk albums. But on Meadow, it's backed by a slicker, more confident band than in the past. The polished guitar lines of ex-Guided by Voices member Doug Gillard dance from nearly every tune, along with shimmering organs and rumbling percussion. The combination works: Buckner's singular pipes and surrealistic lyrics tug the songs toward the esoteric, but the band pulls them back.
