Buck Owens "Hot Dog" (Capitol, 1988)
His return from retirement and the release of his first album in over a decade was big news and real cause for celebration in 1988... Not only did Buck Owens give his fans a chance to see him again, he cut one humdinger of a record... The chart success of the single "Streets of Bakersfield," his fab duet with acolyte Dwight Yoakam spurred Owens back into greatness... This record features re-recordings of a bunch of oldies, but instead of the same old story of a former country star recording a sad little nostalgia disc, this isn't just a final wheeze from an old geezer, but a solid affirmation of his role in country music legend and his continuing artistic vigor. It's a fun record. The songs are solid and the performances are strong... Definitely worth checking out!
Buck Owens "Live At Carnegie Hall" (Capitol, 1989)
A fine live set from the 'Sixties, released for the first time nearly a quarter century after the fact, as a resurgent Buck was riding high on his late-'80s revival. Nice stuff, with the band in fine form.
