Led by the smash hit title track, 1967's Your Tender Loving Care extended Buck Owens' best-selling album run. Backed by the unparalleled mastery of the Buckaroos, Buck romps through the joyfully rollicking "Sam's Place," a chart-topping song inspired by a real Richmond, CA saloon. Featuring the deft left hand of guitarist Don Rich, the song remains a fan favorite. Elsewhere on the album, Buck gives a heartfelt reading of former Buckaroo Merle Haggard's song, "House of Memories." Need more? How...

Based around numbers he was performing in his live shows, 1963's On the Bandstand features a mix of self-penned songs and then-current country favorites. Besides Buck, the spotlight shines on individual band members throughout the album. Speaking of the band, they were mere months away from being named The Buckaroos, courtesy of Merle Haggard who served briefly as their bass player before moving on to his own solo career. The sole hit on the original version of the album was "Kickin' Our...

Plainly and simply, the incendiary singles Jerry Lee Lewis cut for Sun Records in the mid-1950s and early 1960s left a flaming footprint on the face of popular music and forged the die of rock 'n' roll itself. Which means that when it comes to rock 'n' roll, it doesn't get any more essential than Sundazed's roundup of 28 of the Killer's rowdiest, raunchiest, and most rollicking Sun sides; explosive cuts like "Great Balls of Fire," "Whole Lot of Shakin' Going On," "Crazy Arms," "Breathless,"...

To hear Johnny Cash's swaggering Sun Records-era material is to marvel at one of the primal source-streams of what was fast becoming the headwaters of rock 'n' roll. Cash's craggy, lunch-bucket vocals on gleaming original versions of songs like "Cry! Cry! Cry!," "Get Rhythm," "Big River," and "I Walk the Line," backed by the signature guitar style of Luther Perkins and Marshall Grant?s steady bass, are really just the tip of the iceberg corralled on this stunning collection. "Folsom Prison...

“A door would open up and I would just go through it, and I just kept doing that for all my life." — Mimi Roman That is how Mimi Roman, at 87, tells us of her life, including her time as a successful country singer in the 1950s and early 60s. But it took talent and a strong, beautifully distinctive voice for those doors to open, and to go far once on the other side. It also took guts and plenty of stamina for a 20-year-old Jewish cowgirl from Brooklyn to make her way to country music...

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...

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...

Perennial trailblazers whose electrifying Bakersfield sound topped the country charts for most of the ?60s, Buck Owens and the Buckaroos plowed even newer ground with the 1971 album Bridge Over Troubled Water.

Bridge saw heavy chart action, justifying Buck Owens? desire to roll with the times while also detailing his conversion from chart-topping country artist...

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,...

His tenth Capitol LP in four years and second of 1965, Before You Go/No One But You continued Buck Owens' prolific hit-making roll. The lead title track spent six long weeks at #1 on the country charts and features two distinct tempos: upbeat at the beginning before switching abruptly to waltz time. Co-written by Buck and Red Simpson, "Gonna Have Love" features a hook-heavy guitar riff from Don Rich and was another successful single. More Buckaroo wizardry was delivered by steel guitarist Tom...

During his peak recording years, many of Buck's LP's featured one or more instrumentals, spotlighting the Buckaroos' superior solo skills. The core band of guitarist/fiddler Don Rich, steel guitarist Tom Brumley, bassist Doyle Holly, drummer Willie Cantu and Buck himself on transcendent Telecaster leads all have a chance to shine on these selections. The Instrumental Hits collects previously released tracks, some of which had appeared on earlier Buck albums. The lone exception is the lead...

In 1965, aspiring folk singer Gram Parsons was busy cutting classes at Harvard in order to explore the fertile Cambridge/Boston music scene. There, he met guitarist John Nuese, who urged Parsons to pursue a country rock sound. Enlisting Ian Dunlop on bass and Mickey Gauvin on bass, they began exploring that direction in earnest. Appropriating their name from a classic "Our Gang" skit, the International Submarine Band left Boston for New York, eager to find a supportive label for their new...

Long before the silver sparkle Telecasters and Hee-Haw, Buck Owens was trodding the boards of Bakersfield bar stages, paying his dues and winning fans one twang at a time. Released on January 30, 1961, Buck Owens' self-titled debut LP marked the start of his long, unprecedented career as a recording artist for Capitol Records. Bolstered by four charting singles- "Second Fiddle," "Under Your Spell Again," "Above and Beyond" and "Excuse Me (I Think I've Got a Heartache)"- the album spotlights...

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...

Buck Owens was the original, border-bustin' ambassador of American country music.

At the renown London Palladium, Buck and his Buckaroos performed a full program of their all-time hits and added to the festive...
