Product Description

From the vaults of the award-winning PBS Austin City Limits TV show, this is the latest release in the acclaimed Live From Austin, TX series.

Maybe it was an epiphany of sorts. As Buck tells it, One day I was watching Austin City Limits and Dwight Yoakam was on, then he dedicates the program to Buck Owens. So I said, I m going to see what this kid is like. It wasn t long after that he was on stage with Dwight singing his old hits. Buck was bitten by the bug to return to music, after calling it quits almost ten years earlier.

This man from Sherman, Texas probably best-known as the wide-grinning rube on Hee Haw for so many years started a country music revolution. Or more accurately, a counter-revolution. It was called the Bakersfield Sound, He and fellow revolutionary Merle Haggard were cranking out raw, hard-driving honky-tonk music that stood the country-pop coming out of Nashville on its head. When Buck Owens and the Buckaroos would launch into I ve got a tiger by the tails, it s plain to see...! the packed crowds would be on their feet and headed for the dance floor.

Along the way Buck inspired none other than the Beatles to record their first country song, his classic Act Naturally, and the master of soul, Ray Charles, to immortalize one of the best-known country songs ever, Cryin Time.

This DVD, recorded live on October 23, 1988 in 5.1 surround sound, captures all the hits and more, and includes songs that were never aired on the original TV broadcast.

Customer Reviews

Buck Owens rocks!!!
The ONLY complaint I have with this...is its too darned short! But boy does Buck pack a lot of great music into this less than half hour of a show! I think this was filmed as an opening act for Dwight Yoakam ...who plays with Buck on a track and Buck is on Dwights hour long episode also recommended and available. Unlike the Don Rich days (Buck's legendary guitarist from The Buckaroos) Buck takes a few tasty and rockin solos on his Silver/Glitter Telecaster...and generally keeps everything UP UP UP!
I am looking forward to Dwight's tribute CD to Buck due Oct '07!
recommended!

The Greatest Country Performer Ever!
I feel that Buck Owens is the greatest country performer ever! He had decade after decade of fabulous hits. And how can we ever forget the awesome Saturday evenings we spent watching HEE HAW. This is a class act that will be hard for anyone to ever match let alone beat! Get your copy of this CD today! It is excellent quality for a fair price and super fast delivery!
