Buck-le up!  Omnivore is returning to the discography of Bakersfield's favorite son, Buck Owens, with a new 3CD set that chronicles a decade of music-making on the concert stage.  Buck and His Buckaroos' Adios, Farewell, Goodbye, Good Luck, So Long: On Stage 1964-1974 is due from the label on June 27.  It boasts 89 tracks (78 songs plus 11 introductions and pieces of onstage chatter) - the majority of which are new to CD.  A full 25 tracks have never been issued in any format, while a whopping 43 others are premiering in CD and digital formats including the complete contents of The Exciting Sounds of Buck Owens and His Buckaroos Live from Richmond, Virginia, 1964, which was released earlier this year on vinyl.

This set offers plenty more in the way of exciting sounds, however, capturing the honky-tonk crew in various settings around the world including New York City, Las Vegas, Reno, Tokyo, Australia, New Zealand, and, of course, Bakersfield.  The first disc presents the Richmond, Virginia show from 1964 as well as a 1967 set at Macy's flagship department store in New York's Herald Square performed for its employees.  The second CD draws from two previously released concert albums - 1969's The Buck Owens Show: Big in Vegas and 1972's Live at the Nugget (from Reno, Nevada) - as well as premiering sets from a 1973 golf tournament dinner and a Toys for Tots benefit performance at the Bakersfield Civic Auditorium the same year.  Finally, the third disc of this set joins together highlights from three LPs originally released in their respective international territories in 1974: Buck Owens' Show in Japan, Live at the Sydney Opera House, and Live in New Zealand.  These albums, never released in the U.S., show the worldwide reach of Owens and The Buckaroos' raw, energetic, and stripped-down brand of country music.  Buckaroos on this set include Don Rich, Doyle Holly, Tom Brumley, and Willie Cantu as well as subsequent members Jerry Brightman, Jerry Wiggins, Doyle Curtsinger, and Ronnie Jackson.

The lavish set also includes a 56-page book with liner notes by Scott B. Bomar and photos, while the whole set has been newly restored and mastered by Michael Graves.  Look for this tribute to the electrifying onstage antics of Buck Owens and His Buckaroos on June 27 from Omnivore.  As an Amazon affiliate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
