 (2 Customer Reviews)
Harlan Howard has composed some of the best and most durable songs in country music, many of which have become standards. In 1961, Buck took on the Howard song-book with his trademark Bakersfield no-frills style, and came up with a genuine Classic. Owens' keening voice (lead & harmonies), Ralph Mooney's gut-wrenching pedal steel guitar and the shuffling & crackling rhythm section bring vitality and urgency to Howard tunes like "Heartaches by the Number," Keys in the Mailbox" and "Pick Me Up on Your Way Down." This set virtually defines the California honky-tonky style: no strings, syrupy choruses or trite pop standards; just surging, snappy, soulful, danceable, honest, REAL country music about that most human condition, heartache. Three thumbs up!

This is a reissue of the FIRST Buck Owens album, recorded for Capitol in 1961. He'd yet to fully come into his own--the vocal influences of Ray Price and George Jones are easy to discern, and the Buckaroos' hard-driving twang and sturdy beat were yet-to-be. But the heart Owens puts into these songs--he wrote all but one--is singularly powerful and memorable. And this set includes three genuine country classics: "Under Your Spell Again," "Above and Beyond" and "Second Fiddle." To check out the beginnings of one of the best and ...

Buck Owens Sings Harlan Howard songs
$11.59  
If you wanted to give someone the quintessential Bakersfield honky-tonk country album (that wasn't a Merle Haggard album), THIS would be it. The beat, strong yet possessed of a near-shuffle-type groove, the chilling harmonies, the weeping pedal steel, the terse twang of the guitars and Owens' expressive singing combine with memorable originals and classic covers ("Close Up the Honky Tonks," "Truck Drivin' Man," "A-11") and a countrified take on the Drifters' "Save the Last Dance for Me" comprise a country music album classic.
Named after his double-sided number one hit single of early 1964, Together Again/My Heart Skips a Beat is one of Buck Owens' strongest albums of the '60s, as well as one of his few records to stick firmly in the honky tonk camp. Despite the rolling drums of "My Heart Skips a Beat," the jumpy "Truck Drivin' Man," the jokey "Ain't It Amazin' Gracie," and a Bakersfield overhaul of "Save the Last Dance for Me," the majority of the album is straight-ahead honky tonk. Whether it's ...

Tommy Collins' legacy was greater than his success on the charts, which, despite a few Top Ten singles in the mid-'50s, was never sustained. However, he was a king in California, and he exerted considerable influence on Bakersfield country and its two figureheads, Merle Haggard and Buck Owens, who frequently cited his importance and recorded his songs. Owens, in fact, ...
