Our Take

Ah, Buck Owens, the man who put the B in Bakersfield sound. His latest compilation album, "The Essential," is a romp through the honky-tonk world of country music, complete with twangy guitars and heart-wrenching lyrics.

From the moment you press play, you're transported to a dusty bar in the middle of nowhere, where Owens's smooth voice croons about love lost and found. The album kicks off with classics like "Act Naturally" and "Tiger By The Tail," setting the tone for what's to come.

But don't be fooled by the slick production and catchy melodies - there's a rawness to Owens's music that cuts deep. Tracks like "I've Got a Tiger By The Tail" and "Together Again" showcase his ability to convey emotion with just a twang of his guitar.

The standout moment on the album, however, has to be the live recording of "Made in Tokyo." You can practically feel the sweat dripping off Owens as he wails on his guitar, the crowd cheering him on in the background.

Overall, "The Essential" is a must-listen for any country music fan. Whether you're a die-hard Owens aficionado or a newcomer to the genre, this album is sure to strike a chord. Buck Owens may be gone, but his music lives on - and it's as essential as ever.

About the artist

Buck Owens

Profile: Buck Owens Buck Owens is a name synonymous with the Bakersfield Sound, a twangy genre that emerged in the '60s as a rebellious response to Nashville's slick country productions. With his signature red, white, and blue guitar in hand, Buck brought a fresh energy to the country music scene with his honky-tonk hits and distinctive twang vocals. Hailing from Sherman, Texas, Buck made his mark in the music industry with his band The Buckaroos, creating hits such as "Act Naturally" and "Together Again." His distinctive sound paired with his quirky stage presence, including his signature "Buck shuffle" dance move, solidified his status as a country music icon. Buck's influence extends far beyond his own music, as he also helped launch the careers of other country legends such as Merle Haggard and Wynn Stewart. Despite facing personal and professional challenges throughout his career, Buck's music continued to resonate with audiences around the world, earning him numerous awards and accolades. In true Buck Owens fashion, he once quipped, "all in all, I'm proud as hell to have been a part of that sound. It's nice to be remembered for that." And remembered he will be, as his legacy lives on in the hearts of country music fans and beyond. So, grab your cowboy boots and take a trip down memory lane with Buck Owens. His music may be rooted in the past, but its influence continues to ripple through the music industry today. Yee-haw!
