S war es damals, im Jahr 1969 …
Diese 8-CD-Edition umfasst alle noch vorhandenen Aufnahmen von Buck Owens aus seinen letzten Jahren bei Capitol Records. In jenen Tagen trat er jede Woche bei der immens populären Fernsehshow 'Hee-Haw' auf, seine Konzerte waren regelmäßig ausverkauft und in seiner Wahlheimat Bakersfield in Kalifornien baute er sein eigenes Geschäftsimperium auf. Aufnahmen entstanden dort in seinem eigenen Studio, und Fans aus dem ganzen Land hatten einen unersättlichen Appetit auf seine rauhe Stimme, seine raffinierten Songs und den minimalistischen Twang seiner Band. Von einem Erfolg in dieser Größenordnung konnten die meisten Sänger nur träumen. Nur wenige konnten sich mit ihm messen und noch weniger konnten damit umgehen.
Während seiner letzten Jahre bei Capitol versuchte Buck, seinen Sound abwechslungsreicher zu gestalten. Er war sich der Veränderungen in der Popmusik durchaus bewusst und bewunderte die kreative Freiheit mancher Rockbands, mit neuen und unorthodoxen Sounds experimentieren zu können. Diese Ausgabe liefert den bislang größten Stilmix in Buck Owens' Karriere und enthält u. a. 20 Songs, die es in die Charts schafften – von Tall Dark Stranger bis zu Bucks hochinteressanter neuer Fassung von The Battle Of New Orleans. Dazwischen finden sich Klassiker von Buck Owens wie I Wouldn't Live In New York City (If They Gave Me The Whole Dang Town), Bridge Over Troubled Water, Ruby, Rollin' In My Sweet Baby's Arms, Made In Japan, Ain't It Amazing Gracie, On The Cover Of Music City News, Monsters' Holiday sowie die Originalversion von Streets Of Bakersfield (später im Duett mit Dwight Yoakam ein Nummer-Eins-Hit). Auf acht CDs liefert diese Edition darüber hinaus alle LPs, seine Bluegrass-Sessions, alle Aufnahmen im Duo mit Susan Raye und seinem Sohn, Buddy Alan, und schließlich eine unveröffentlichte Duoaufnahme mit der R&B-Sängerin Bettye Swann – und natürlich auch die ‚Solo’-Alben der Buckaroos!
Neben den Hits gibt es viele zuvor unveröffentlichte Aufnahmen.
… bis ins Jahr 1975
The way it was in '69…
This 8-CD set chronicles every existing recording from Buck Owens' last years with Capitol Records. Every week he was on the hugely popular 'Hee-Haw' TV show, his concerts were sell-outs, and he was building a business empire in his adopted hometown, Bakersfield, California. He recorded at his own studio and fans across the country had an insatiable appetite for his raw voice, his clever, snappy songs and the band's minimalist twang. It was success on a scale that every singer dreamed of, but few ever got and fewer still could handle.
During his last years on Capitol, Buck tried to bring more variety to his sound. Acutely aware of changes in pop music, Buck admired rock bands' freedom to create and experiment with new and unorthodox sounds. This set includes a wider mix of styles than Buck had ever tried on record before. There are over 20 charted hits, beginning with Tall Dark Stranger and ending with Buck's exciting new version of The Battle Of New Orleans. In between are Buck Owens classics like I Wouldn't Live In New York City (If They Gave Me The Whole Dang Town), Bridge Over Troubled Water, Ruby, Rollin' In My Sweet Baby's Arms, Made In Japan, Ain't It Amazing Gracie, On The Cover Of Music City News, Monsters' Holiday, and the original version of Streets Of Bakersfield (later a #1 hit duet with Dwight Yoakam). This set also includes all the LPs, his bluegrass sessions, all the duets with Susan Raye, Buck's son, Buddy Alan, and an amazing unreleased duet with R&B singer Bettye Swann. Plus all the Buckaroos' albums!
Alongside the hits, there are many previously unreleased songs.
… All the way to '75
,,Die späten Jahre des Country-Stars, komplett im Box-Set." (Rolling Stone, September 2012)
,,Ein mehr als würdiger Abschluss und ein klasse Rückblick auf eine Karrierephase Buck Owens’, die es zweifelsohne wert ist, so hochwertig behandelt zu werden." (Good Times, Oktober / November 2012)
