Sleepy Eyed by Buffalo Tom

Sleepy Eyed, Buffalo Tom's fifth album, came out on Beggars Banquet in 1995, and it's the Boston trio shrugging off the sheen of Big Red Letter Day. With John Agnello producing, they went for something rawer and closer to how they sound in a room: Bill Janovitz's guitar ragged and ringing and his worn voice out front, Chris Colbourn on bass and taking his turns at the mic, and Tom Maginnis, the Tom in the band's name, driving it all on drums.
"Summer" is the one that stuck, bittersweet and loud at the same time. Elsewhere, "Twenty-Points" carries a subtitle that tips its hat to Nan Goldin's The Ballad of Sexual Dependency.
