Buck Owens and the Buckaroos

Bakersfield Gold

(Omnivore)

All of Buck's top-ten hits from 1959 to 1974 are present (and there were 46 of them - 19 number ones). Which means the storied Bakersfield Sound is sparkingly well represented. Few could match Buck's prolificness or ability; his output still sounds remarkable. Get a shovel and dig.
