| Omnivore's 2CD collection of Buck Owens' primo honky tonk swingers will be a revelation for Hee Haw fans. |
"To say that Buck Owens was a singularly unique figure in country music would be light years beyond cliché. There have been four, maybe five, other artists in the history of the entire genre who have left as indelible a sonic imprint on so many millions of listeners’ ears. This collection of music should introduce new listeners and reacquaint old fans with just how cool country music can be."
—Dwight Yoakam
"The reason my Capitol records sounded the way they did—real heavy on the treble—was because I knew most people were going to be listening to ’em on their AM car radios. At the time, nobody else was doing anything like that, but it just seemed like common sense to me. And it was one more reason that you knew it was a Buck Owens record as soon as it came on the radio—because it just didn’t sound like those other records . . ."
—Buck Owens
The cream of the crop from the ’60s biggest country star!
For the first time, Omnivore Recordings, in conjunction with the Buck Owens Estate, is releasing Buck Owens and The Buckaroos’ The Complete Capitol Singles: 1957-1966, collecting all 56 singles from Buck's pre-Hee Haw creative peak, in their original form, taken from the original mono master tapes. Along with 13 #1 country chart hits are four duets with the great Rose Maddox and the yuletide classic "Santa Looked A Lot Like Daddy" just in time for Christmas.
Newly remastered, and featuring liner notes from Buck’s autobiography (written with Randy Poe), plus an introduction by Dwight Yoakam, The Complete Capitol Singles: 1957-1966 presents the golden age of Buck Owens in an entirely new way.
These are the records that made Buck Owens a legend and defined the Bakersfield Sound.
