As a true 'new traditionalist', Dwight Yoakam makes country with respect for the past. No polished productions, but unpolished country with a live feel. This time Dwight pays tribute to one of the people who formed him. Buck Owens, who died in March 2006, was the architect of the so-called Bakersfield sound, an area around California. Owens in his day did what Yoakam does now, counterbalance the
… commercial, soulless country of Nashville. Among the fifteen songs announced by Owen, we find classic songs like Crying Time and Together Again, as well as the funny Act Naturally, known in the cover version of The Beatles. Naturally, the typical, fierce Fender Telecaster solos, Buck Owens' trademark, are included. (MS)more
