  WellÉ probably not, but I do have something better; a band with that peculiar (eccentric) name, and ...WellÉ probably not, but I do have something better; a band with that peculiar (eccentric) name, and the best part about it is they are high-grade.
  
  Their new release Independent Variable is loaded with emotionally drenched bluesy rock and folk tracks. The lead singer, Teri Hitt, has a voice that dares you to listen and then listen again. She beckons you with her smooth vibrato and you begin to fall into the words. Once you are in the middle of it all there is no turning back. ItÕs the kind of album I would want to make.
  
  The music presented here is a combination of rock, blues and folk. It all leans more towards an earthy blues rock feel, but the folk element remains a constant thread running through each track and it serves as a jumping off point into the different styles. In addition to singing, Hitt plays the acoustic guitar while Christopher Mark (piano, vocals), Aaron Stephen Chu (electric guitars), Dave Walker (bass), and Andrew Shreve (drums) fill out group. Chu plays some smokinÕ licks while the keyboards of Mark complement his stinging leads. And what would all of this great music be without a solid rhythm section to move it all along? The rhythm is spot-on courtesy of Walker and Shreve (spelling is similar to the early Santana drummer).
  
  It is important to lead off with an energetic track, and that is the case here as ÒFree YourselfÓ churns out and gets your heart pumping with a driving organ, guitars, and rhythm section. This, however, does not set the precedence for the pace of the album. At times stepping back and mellowing out to sound more Folk-Americana and then reverting to a more upbeat and heavier blues-rock tone is the way this band goes about their work, with moods shifting as each track progresses. The steaming track ÒSilenceÓ starts with more of a downbeat feel, and then has a crankinÕ break at about 2:50 when Chu gets the opportunity to strut his stuff. This becomes common ground throughout this release.
  
  ItÕs all good from beginning to end, and for this listener Independent Variable rates as a satisfying album that is worth many listens.

  Pet Buffalo's independent debut release, Independent Variable, is R&B tinged folk rock with luscious Hammond B-3 organ and Fender Rhodes keyboard noises everywhere. Singer/guitarist Teri Hitt is stunning on so many levels. Recommended.
