That said, despite the plaudits, I find it difficult during their shows to distinguish one song from the other, as they mix folk, reggae, Cajun and rock into a nonetheless spirited concoction that gets people moving. Life’s a Ride reflects their live show. Interesting sounds with a lot of creativity and energy. This one’s a winner if you’re into a Phish/Dead experience. The songs didn’t knock me over, though. Give this one 3 ¼ bottle caps out of 4. Life’s a Ride has been a success on the national music charts, so Donna the Buffalo must be doing something right!
