Dennis Crommett's In the Buffalo Surround is a startlingly beautiful set of eleven songs that explores nature, love, transformation, and the exhilaration of coming into one's own - 'Reading about the Sioux and their respect for animals and nature, their value of ritual, especially as related to growing into adulthood, struck a chord with me,' Crommett explains. Anyone hearing a Dennis Crommett song for the first time will discover a songwriting talent that is effortless - a rare combination of grace and grit. From the gentle intimacy of 'Early Sunday Morning' to the hard-hitting 'New Year's Resolution' the album travels flawlessly between ballads that glow with warmth to unbridled alt-country rock.
