Morphine's "Buena"
1993's "Buena" was the song that introduced many people to the Cambridge/Boston band Morphine. The three-piece band's sound was baritone saxophone and two-string slide bass. Bassist and singer Sandman called it Low Rock for its deep tones, but Morphine goes deep in other ways, too, even 30 years later.
