Buffalo Nichols today released “The Difference,” the third single previewing his anticipated new album The Fatalist due out September 15th via Fat Possum. “The Difference” follows “Love Is All” and his fresh take on Blind Willie Johnson’s “You’re Gonna Need Somebody On Your Bond,” which earned great press from Rolling Stone (Song You Need to Know), Guitar World.com  (Essential Guitar Tracks), WNYC New Sounds, No Depression, Milwaukee Record, Folk Alley, and more. The Milwaukee, WI-based guitarist/songwriter is currently playing summer dates across the U.S. and will celebrate the release on an extensive tour, including fall shows at NYC’s Mercury Lounge on September 22nd and LA’s Gold Diggers on November 18th.
