专辑介绍

Buck Owens had his share of country hits prior to the release of I've Got a Tiger by the Tail and the hit single that spawned it. But &I've Got a Tiger by the Tail& was Owens' national breakthrough, featuring everything right about his Bakersfield honky tonk sound sweated down to a 2:12 single that proved to be a irresistible piece of crossover magic to non-country fans without diluting his basic sound one iota. This 14-track CD reissue brings together the original Capitol tracks from that album (which also included the hit &Cryin' Time,& later to be a crossover hit of its own when recorded by Ray Charles), along with two bonus tracks. These are live versions recorded in Bakersfield at the Civic Auditorium in October 1963 of &This Ol' Heart& and &Act Naturally,& taken from the Capitol anthology album Country Music Hootenanny. The sound of Don Rich is all over this album, with his signature biting Telecaster guitar style, plus his vocalizing on &Wham Bam& (which features Owens on lead guitar) and a feature with Buck on a duet of Chuck Berry's &Memphis.& Bass player Doyle Holly handles the vocal chores on &Streets of Laredo,& while Don Rich's fiddle work is highlighted on the instrumental &A Maiden's Prayer.& But ultimately it's Owens' show with tracks like &Trouble and Me,& &We're Gonna Let the Good Times Roll,& &If You Fall Out of Love With Me,& &The Band Keeps Playin' On,& and the ballad &Let the Sad Times Roll On& being classic examples of Owens' Bakersfield honky tonk sound at the height of its freight-train rumbling powers.
