Buck Owens, born on 12 August 1929 in Sherman, Texas and died on 25 March 2006 in Bakersfield, California, was a renowned country music artist. He made his mark in the vibrant Bakersfield music scene during the 1950s as lead guitar player and singer for various bands. Buck's career took off when he signed with Capitol Records in 1957 and released his first chart record "Second Fiddle" two years later.

Throughout the '60s, Buck Owens dominated the charts with numerous #1 hits like "Act Naturally," "I've Got a Tiger By the Tail," and "Think of Me." Unlike other artists at that time, Buck always recorded with his road band, giving his records a distinctive sound and live feel. His signature style featured simple storylines, infectious choruses, twangy electric guitar, an insistent rhythm provided by forward-placed drum tracks, and high harmonies with fiddler *Don Rich*.

In addition to his successful music career, Buck Owens also invested in radio stations throughout the Southwest and established his own management agency alongside manager *Jack McFadden*. After retiring from music in the '70s, he was coaxed back into the spotlight by *Dwight Yoakam* in 1988. Their duet "Streets of Bakersfield" topped the charts once again. Buck released two more albums before his passing

Buck Owens' The Complete Capitol Singles - 1967 - 1970. Available here on Double CD.

The cream of the crop from the '60s biggest country star. The latter part of the 1960s represents Buck Owens’ second act. His recordings from that era are brief snapshots of a man in transition. Buck and his Buckaroos had undeniably found a winning formula, but he was growing concerned that his signature sound was in danger of growing stale and predictable. For the rest of the decade he would boldly venture into new territory that likely stretched the boundaries of what some fans might have expected. —Scott B. Bomar, from the liner notes Omnivore Recordings, in conjunction with the Buck Owens Estate, is proud to present Buck Owens and The Buckaroos’ The Complete Capitol Singles: 1967–1970. This is the second in a series chronicling every one of Buck’s historic Capitol singles from the ‘50s, ‘60, and ‘70s. Taken from the original mono and stereo masters, The Complete Capitol Singles: 1967–1970 collects the A- and B-side to all 18 singles from that period, including 14 Top Ten hits, in their original, chronological form. Newly remastered, and featuring liner notes from Scott B. Bomar, The Complete Capitol Singles: 1967–1970 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. It’s history. It’s The Complete Capitol Singles: 1967–1970.
