Misc ="Bufalo Bill" is an album of Italian singer-songwriter
Francesco De Gregori . It was released in 1976 byRCA Italia. The title is an intentional misspelling ofBuffalo Bill 's name: buffalo is often rendered in Italian as "bufalo", although specifically defining a different animal in that language.The cover is a portrait by American artist
Gil Elvgren , from a 1948 magazine.The album
The album include some of the most popular De Gregori's songs, including the title track (a ballad about a disillusioned Buffalo Bill and about contradictions of the American myth, partially inspired by
Sam Peckinpah film "The Ballad of Cable Hogue "), the romantic "Atlantide" and the desperate anthem "Santa Lucia"."Festival" is about the suicide of singer-songwriter
Luigi Tenco at theSanremo Festival , and the hypocrisy with which media dealt with that event.The music of "Giovane esploratore Tobia" was co-written with
Lucio Dalla , who had also collaborated with two songs in the previous De Gregori album, "Rimmel".Personnel
