Frequently referred to as "the Mount Rushmore of country music," The Highwaymen--Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, and Kris Kristofferson were American country music's first bona fide supergroup, an epic quartet comprised of the outlaw country genre's pioneering stars. "The myth of the American West--lawless lands, resolute heroes--takes on a grave, elegiac quality on this first, and best, collaboration from Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, and Kris Kristofferson....

If family lineage had anything to do with it, Buddy Alan would have been a slam-dunk as a country music star. Fortunately, Alan – the son of Bonnie Owens and Country Music Hall of Fame member Buck Owens and the stepson of Bonnie's second husband, Hall of Famer Merle Haggard – had the talent to back up his illustrious background. From his earliest recordings, a duet with Buck Owens in 1968 and his first solo single, written by Haggard, it was apparent that Buddy had his own sound and the...

Charlie Rich's smash hit "Lonely Weekends" was one of legendary rockabilly imprint Phillips International's last chart-topping platters in 1960.

Sourced from the original mono masters, these magnificent sides represent the no-holds-barred, rocking Memphis roots of the Silver Fox, Charlie Rich.

There was no stopping Buck Owens in 1964! I Don't Care, released in November of that year, contained another #1 smash country hit in the title track. The album also initiated the tradition of showcasing the individual talents of the Buckaroos along with Buck himself. Featuring vocals by bassist Doyle Holly and guitarist/fiddle player Don Rich, the band turned in spirited renditions of current country hits like "Abilene" and "Louisiana Man." Buck also served notice of his premier guitar prowess...

Riding the crest of fame, Buck Owens never thought of slowing down in 1966. Marking a departure from his last few albums, Open Up Your Heart features Buck as the sole lead vocalist on all cuts. The title track, one of three #1 singles on the album, features chicken pickin' Telecaster licks courtesy of guest guitarist James Burton. It stayed atop the country charts for six weeks. Other standout tracks include the blue-collar broadside "Sam's Place" (inspired by a real establishment in Richmond,...

Hands-down, one of the most requested reissues in Sundazed's recent history, Buck Owens' 1966 landmark album, Dust On Mother's Bible, finds Buck and the boys at the absolute top of their game, putting aside the usual honky-tonk anthems to don their Sunday best and forge a riveting selection of sacred material ("I'll Go To Church Again With Momma" and "Bring It To Jesus") as well as heart-breaking ballads like the title track--every offering created with the ease of master craftsmen. Packaged...

Inspired by a phrase Buck often said to his concert audiences, the title track of 1968's It Takes People Like You to Make People Like Me was written as a "thank you" to his legions of fans. Beyond the title track, there is much to be thankful for on this admirable album. Back by the inimitable Buckaroos and select special guests, the "Tiger" is enjoying himself immensely here. With all twelve tracks written or co-written by Buck, the album flew in the face of Nashville's countrypolitan song...

Released in February 1966, Roll Out the Red Carpet arrived in the midst of a flurry of Buck Owens hit singles. It is all the more unusual, then, that none of the selections on this album would chart. Even more unusual, the title track was not even released as a single. However, the lack of chart action is in no way a comment on the album's quality. Yet again, Buck and his Buckaroos serve up a superior mix of tracks: some upbeat, some ballads but all expertly sung and played. Guitar fans will...

Recorded at the venerable New York City concert hall, Buck Owens & His Buckaroos' Carnegie Hall Concert finds Owens and the Buckaroos tearing through chart-topping hits like "Act Naturally" and "Tiger By The Tail." The Sundazed release--featuring the complete, unedited show--restores the full glory of producer Ken Nelson's original stereo mix as well as the vintage cover artwork from the highly successful 1966 Capitol album and previously unpublished photos.Also available as a digital...

Buck Owens was the original, border-bustin' ambassador of American country music. Beginning with his acclaimed live stint at Carnegie Hall, to Japan where the crowd's overwhelming enthusiasm was downright staggering, Buck would continue to herd his posse into venues worldwide. But he'd wait to hit yet another landmark locale before recording his next live album. At the renown London Palladium, Buck and his Buckaroos performed a full program of their all-time hits and added to the festive...

The sound of Nashville nightlife, circa 1962! Steel guitar pioneer Pete Drake slides and glides through a glimpse of what Music City instro sounds were like mid-century—the kinds you might hear at any neon-draped honky tonk—including everything from sexy-swing to country-cool on a dozen original tunes, ranging from the playful swing of “For Pete’s Sake” to the honky tonk shuffle of “Loves I’ve Known” to the hip jazz menace of “The Spook,” and on through the hillbilly cosmic in the album...

There is something palpably avant-garde in the frenetic energy of Owens' unmistakably American (read: Bakersfield) sound set against the cultural backdrop of Tokyo. However, Buck Owens & His Buckaroos prove the adage that the currency of music defies borders and is indeed the universal language. On Buck Owens & His Buckaroos in Japan!, the band rises to the occasion, performing perennial favorites and previewing tracks from its upcoming album, It Takes People Like You to Make People Like Me....

The second LP from "the Mount Rushmore of country music!" The Highwaymen: Cash, Willie, Waylon, and Kristofferson an epic quartet comprised of the outlaw country genre's pioneering stars. "The myth of the American West--lawless lands, resolute heroes--takes on a grave, elegiac quality on this first, and best, collaboration from Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, and Kris Kristofferson.

Although they were little noticed at the time, the International Submarine Band's releases on Lee Hazlewood's LHI label would soon emerge as cornerstones in the small but seminal catalogue of the ISB's leader, Gram Parsons, whose revolutionary rock/country synthesis found its first vehicle in this much-mythologized outfit. The band's lone LP Safe At Home--recorded before, but released after, Parsons departed to join the Byrds--quickly became a much-sought-after collector's item. Even rarer...

Buck Owens' legendary live albums from Carnegie Hall, Japan and London were landmark efforts that captured Buck and the Buckaroos at their peak, but he also recorded other live albums overseas. The most obscure of Buck's live releases was his April 1970 show in Oslo, Norway that featured Don Rich with the Buckaroos, Buck's son Buddy Alan and the Hagers. Fiery and intense, it reflects that unique early '70s period when Buck was experimenting and broadening his sound beyond his old style. With...

Just turned 21 and beautiful beyond words, Wanda Jackson ripped through a red-hot, live Town Hall Party rockabilly session in 1958 that helped define the parameters of this raw, young music. Discovered singing on an Oklahoma radio station only two years earlier by honky-tonk recording star Hank Thompson and encouraged to cut loose musically by genre superstar/touring partner (and onetime boyfriend) Elvis Presley, Jackson was a perfect fit for Town Hall Party, the Los Angeles-based TV show that...

On the first solo album by an ex-Byrd, Gene Clark doesn't stray too far from the nest. Cut in 1966 upon Clark's departure from the iconic L.A. combo, with current Byrds Chris Hillman and Michael Clarke forming the rhythm section, and spotlighting brothers Vern and Rex Gosdin, a pair of former bluegrass pals of Hillman's who chime in with sweet harmony vocals, Gene Clark with the Gosdin Brothers stands as one of Clark's supreme achievements. Add session guitarists Glen Campbell and Jerry Cole...

With his Presley-like mystique, a strapping baritone voice and songs with universal lunchbucket appeal, Johnny Cash reached one of many career high-water marks with his sprawling 1963 epic, Blood, Sweat And Tears. From the perspiration-drenched, eight-minute version of "The Legend Of John Henry's Hammer" to "Busted," Harlan Howard's down 'n' out hard-luck story, Cash made everything he recorded sound like it had been written just for him. This exact replica of Cash's 1963 classic -- on...

FIRST TIME ON VINYL--The birth of country cool! The Johnny Cash you hear on these two remarkable live performances is not the venerable legend of today. This was the young, feral Cash, full of piss, vinegar and sly orneriness. Even to those who know every note, joke and guitar lick on Johnny Cash At Folsom Prison or San Quentin, hearing Cash in his prime, aided and abetted by the Tennessee Two, guitarist Luther Perkins and bassist Marshall Grant, is a revelation.
