Last American Buffalo, the nom de tune of singer-guitarist Kevin Compton and a rotating cast of ace players, roared through 2011 releasing a self-titled EP, a two-track single and an interesting recorded-in-one-take batch of demos, along with playing a residency or two. Compton’s excursions dating back to 2007 and 2009 leaned more toward desert Americana than Last American Buffalo’s new single. “Yucca Baccatta” – which refers to the desert plant Yucca baccata that bears banana-shaped fruit – is a prickly scorcher that’s about the end of a relationship. Let it rip. [Update: The title of the song has been corrected to jibe with the spelling of the plant.]
