THE BEST FROM THE BARD OF BAKERSFIELD

Time Life is proud to release the definitive Buck Owens collection. 'BUCK OWENS: ALL-TIME GREATEST HITS' includes over a dozen #1 tracks plus many of his best-known songs that didn't reach #1, such as 'Under Your Spell Again,' 'Above & Beyond,' and 'Crying Time' (originally a B-side, and later a big hit for Ray Charles).

'BUCK OWENS: ALL-TIME GREATEST HITS' also includes the rare original version of 'Streets of Bakersfield,' (re-recorded 15 years later by Buck and Dwight Yoakam and a #1 hit). Not only is this definitive collection packed with signature songs and rarities omitted from previous best-of collections, but it won't disappoint his casual fan with 13 #1 hits like 'Act Naturally,' 'Love's Gonna Live Here,' 'Together Again,' 'Sam's Place,' 'My Heart Skips a Beat' and 'Before You Go.'

No other country artist dominated the 1960s like the 'Bard of Bakersfield.' Buck Owens' twisted, long syllables and twangy interplay with guitarist Don Rich put a signature stamp on material ranging from the up-tempo 'I've Got a Tiger by the Tail' - a pop crossover smash as well-to the heartfelt 'Together Again' and 'Only You (Can Break My Heart).' Back in 1965 he issued his pledge to country music: He vowed to only be a country singer his entire career - and naturally, he did just that to the very end.
