New York, NY (Top40 Charts) After the unprecedented success of Buck 'Em! The
Music of Buck Owens (1955-1967), Omnivore Recordings is prepared to take the country icon's story to the next stage with Buck 'Em! Volume 2: The
Music of Buck Owens (1967-1975). Street date for the new two-CD set is November 13, 2015. Volume 1 remains available.
If Volume 1 started the story, Buck 'Em! Volume 2 continues it, tracing the influential music of Bakersfield's hero via an impressive 50 tracks.
From #1 singles like "Who's Gonna Mow Your Grass," "Johnny B. Goode," and "Tall Dark Stranger," to favorites including "Ain't It Amazing, Gracie" and the original version of "Streets of Bakersfield," Buck 'Em: Volume 2 continues the journey of Alvis Edgar Owens, Jr. [Buck] throughout his run into the 1970s and into the homes of
America on Hee Haw.
Featuring notes culled from the best-selling book, Buck 'Em! The Autobiography of Buck Owens by the artist with Randy Poe, and featuring photos and ephemera, the legend of Buck reigns supreme with this capper to the first volume. With mastering from Michael Graves, whose work on Hank Williams' The Garden Spot Programs, 1950 earned him a Grammy, the listener is not only reliving history, but hearing it better than it's ever sounded.
Buck 'Em! Volume 2: The
Music of Buck Owens (1967-1975) is not just a sequel to an impressive and successful release, it is the continuation of the appreciation of a true American legend.
