Buffalo Nichols - Fat Possum's first solo blues signing in nearly 20 years - has announced the release of his self-titled debut album,. The Austin, TX-based guitarist, songwriter and singer has also released the lead single "Lost & Lonesome", a tender, aching ballad. "'Lost & Lonesome' was inspired by the years I spent travelling alone and wandering the city streets, looking for a place to call home, maybe for a night, maybe forever," explains Carl "Buffalo" Nichols. "It's reminiscent of those moments in life when you have to leave home, either physically or figuratively, to go to an unknown place and be alone. The soundtrack for a wandering soul.

An ode to loneliness. When you see a wandering soul, you can only wonder how it got there. This song gives a glimpse into the mind of that traveller looking for a friend and a place to call home."
