Buck Owens

Buck 'Em! Volume 2: The Music of Buck Owens (1967-1975) picks up where the first volume of the series, issued in 2013, left off.  Its 50 tracks trace the many accomplishments of Buck Owens during this busy period which found him continuing to write and record for Capitol Records even as he took on hosting duties for television's popular Hee Haw.  Buck 'Em! Volume 2 includes country chart-toppers like "Who's Gonna Mow Your Grass," "Johnny B. Goode," and "Tall Dark Stranger," fan favorites including "Ain't It Amazing, Gracie" and the original version of "Streets Of Bakersfield," duets with Susan Raye and Buck's son Buddy Alan, plus live tracks, alternates, outtakes, and covers such as Paul Simon's "Bridge Over Troubled Water."  All told, seven tracks are new to CD and nine are new to the U.S.!  Liner notes are drawn from Owens' autobiography, co-written with Randy Poe.
