Amazon.com essential recording
Backed by the sterling Buckaroos, Owens's trademark Bakersfield honky tonk was grittier and meatier than that of contemporaries like George Jones. Relying heavily on the crisp lead guitar of Don Rich and the steel-guitar strains of Tom Brumley, the music possessed a distinctive locomotive rhythm. Rhino's comprehensive 62-song collection follows Owens from his landmark 1961 duets with Rose Maddox through early collaborations with Harlan Howard to his first number one hit, "Act Naturally." Owens would put a stranglehold on the country charts, reaching the top spot consistently with hits including "Together Again" and "I've Got a Tiger By the Tail." Along the way, he'd mix in Chuck Berry covers, bluegrass staples, and even a Paul Simon tune. His later work features duets with Susan Raye, Emmylou Harris, and Dwight Yoakam. --Marc Greilsamer

Wear the songs out...... December 16, 2008
This box set will make you appreciate Buck as an artist. There was more to him than a weekly tv show. The box set introduced me to great songs such as Tender Lovin' Care and Big in Vegas. You will not be disappointed with this box set. Buy it and you will wear the songs out.
A Box for your Buck November 22, 2008
I agree with another reviewer that "almost" every hit is on here. I wish that would have included all the duet singles with Susan Raye (they did a cute version of "Looking Back To See" and "Love Is Strange"... but this as close as you can get to a nearly complete anthology of Buck Owens for a 3 disc box set. If you need to complete your collection of Buck Hits, may I recommend The Very Best Of Buck Owens Volumes 1 & 2 on Rhino.

This is a three disc collection of Buck Owens' best material. It features nearly all of Buck's major hits, with the peculiar exception of the Number One hit "Where Does the Good Times Go". Besides the hits, a number of great non-hits are also included, This is great stuff, which I highly recommend.

This will take you back to the fun years, when country music was still country. I have yearned for years to have such a set on CD, our record player doesn't work anymore. Wow! when I started searching for CD's to replace LP's of all of my Country-Western music. These are the best, they sound just like the records, only better. If you are looking to get CD's to replace your records, this is your best bet.

Like Merle Haggard and Wynn Stewart, Buck Owens is the personification of the Bakersfield sound. This box set covers some of his very best material, and features a well-written booklet cram-packed with information to help take you through the years of one of country's top artists. Like Haggard, Buck's backing musicians are as good as they come, led by the incomparable Don Rich.
