PRAISE FOR MACON GREYSON:
"But this band really shines on the rockers, where they take the no-frills ethos of the best bar bands and kick it right into the back alley. The bluesy Stones swagger of “Black Light” may offer the best Keith Richards guitar lick since “Brown Sugar,” and the sturdy power chords of the title track and “Minnesota Weather Map” will have the air guitarists pumping their fists. It’s straightforward rock ‘n roll for the millionth time, and, as is the case with all such miracles, it sounds utterly fresh and vital. "
-- Andy Whitman, PASTE Magazine (8/28/07)
No 'Accident': There's a heft and durability to Macon Greyson's music that makes it feel instantly familiar. 20th Century Accidents, the Dallas quartet's third full-length album, is a rugged, rocking effort pulled forward by lead singer Buddy Huffman's raw barroom yelp. Produced by Dallas' mixmaster general Salim Nourallah and the band at Nourallah's Pleasantry Lane Studio, these 11 tracks hit like cinderblocks and linger like the kisses of a long-gone love. The highlights are numerous, but stand-out cut Naive Melody is the record's apex; shot through with emotion, it might just be the soundtrack to your next lonely, beer-soaked night.

Dallas-based Macon Greyson, a quartet not a guy, has a firm handle on Southern plains garage rock with a message. Just listen to "Naive Melody" or the title track and you'll see what I mean.
"John Q Blues" is an energetic, indie-punk rocker while the powerful-get-their comeuppance track "Time" could be something The Shins might have recorded. And then a song like "Black Light" will have a Stones-y riff and plenty o' cowbell. The MG's know their stuff. Look to hear more about these Texans in the near future.
