AllMusic[1]

Buckaroo Blues is a fan club exclusive CD by The Residents, collecting studio recordings based on two work-in-progress live shows the group had been preparing throughout 1988. The majority of the material is a studio representation of a live appearance the group had made at Boudisque Records in Amsterdam on November 26, 1988, with the final track being the overture for a God in Three Persons live show,[2] which remained unrealised until 2019.

The opening suite features interpretations of Western folk songs and cowboy poems.[3][4] The album was available only to members of the Residents' fan club, UWEB.[5]
