Buck Owens' self-titled debut album exhibits the American country singer's early development of the Bakersfield sound. The hits 'Above and Beyond', 'Under Your Spell Again' and 'Second Fiddle' are among the offerings. As one reviewer wrote: 'The sound that became the legend starts right here'. Owens wrote or co-wrote all the songs on his third album, 'You're For Me' (with the exception of 'Fool Me Again'). Four became hits: 'You're For Me', 'Under the Influence of Love', 'Nobody's Fool But Yours' and 'House Down the Block'. There are other fine tracks too, including two polka instrumentals. One of Owens' early Capitol recordings, it is considered by many to be his best. These two classic albums from Buck Owens, country music superstar and pioneer of the Bakersfield sound, are reissued here on a single LP.
