Buck Owens and His Buckaroos were among the hottest country acts of the 1960s, thanks in no small part to Tom Brumley’s masterful pedal steel guitar work.  Tomorrow, December 14, Omnivore Recordings will release a new compilation, Steelin’ The Show, which collects some of “Tender” Tom Brumley’s best work.  The collection will be available on CD and through digital download and streaming services.

As music historian Scott Bomar notes, Brumley was a true craftsman on pedal steel and dobro. “He wasn’t flashy or self-indulgent. He always knew exactly what to play. His tone, his control, and his restraint were only matched by his pure jaw-dropping talent.”  With 17 tracks culled from nine Buck Owens and His Buckaroos releases, Steelin’ The Show is the perfect introduction to Brumley’s peerless musicianship.  And for longtime fans, it serves as a rich overview of his greatest work.  Steelin’ The Show includes rare photos from the Brumley Family collection, as well as introductory notes from Tom’s family.  Randy Poe, the Buck Owens expert and co-author of Owens’ acclaimed autobiography, Buck ‘Em, contributed liner notes.

Whether you’re brand new to Buckley’s jaw-dropping work, or a seasoned fan, Omnivore’s celebration of Tom Buckley’s tender tones is the one to pick!

Steelin’ The Show will be released tomorrow, December 14, on Omnivore Recordings.   You can find Amazon pre-order links below, along with the full track listing.
