People who only know Buck as the picking and grinning Roy Clark sidekick ought to know that he made some fine music--heck, the Beatles even liked him. This collection, albeit brief, is a good overview of Buck's work.

 A Bit Of A Departure From The Usual Curb Junk Aug 17, 2007
When this first of what would turn out to be three volumes appeared from Curb in 1992 it represented a bit of a departure from their usual approach. Here they included some informative liner notes [most of their products do not], in this instance one page. As is the case with most of their releases I also have to admit that the sound reproduction is excellent.
Of course, they continued their practice of limiting the selections to less than 12, and also managed to include in two of the volumes one track that does not technically fit the title of "all-time greatest hits." So, in that regard, they stuck to their usual pattern. The three volumes also flit all over the place, with no rhyme nor reason to their presentation.
This one, for example, starts off with his 17th Country hit, Act Naturally [# 1 for four weeks in 1963 and later covered by no less than The Beatles], then goes to a selection [Streets Of Bakersfield] that, while it may be identified with him, cannot be counted among his greatest hits since it never charted. At least not this version. In 1988 he had a # 1 with it in a duet with Dwight Yoakam, but that is NOT the version included here.
Track 3 presents Together Again which, as a B-side, reached # 1 in 1964 and remained there for two weeks [the A-side, My Heart Skips A Beat, was a # 1 for seven weeks and is included in Vol. 3]. Track 4, Before You Go, was also a # 1 in 1965 [six weeks] as well as a # 83 Billboard Pop Hot 100 crossover, and from there they jump to a 1972 # 1, Made In Japan, before going all the way back to 1961 for Foolin' Around [# 2 Country and # 113 Hot 100 "bubble under"] at track 6. That same kind of flip-flopping is evident on all three volumes.
By purchasing the three you do get 31 of the 90 songs he put onto the Country charts from 1959 to 1989, ninetween of which crossed over to the Pop charts, including most of his # 1 hits, although they do leave out How Long Will My Baby Be Gone [# 1 in early 1968], which might have been a better choice than Streets of Bakersfield in retrospect [OR they could have gone to an even dozen].
Since these came out there have been numerous other Buck Owens compilations made available with many more tracks and much more in the way of liner notes and discographies [nothing like that included here either]. However, if you are only looking for a specific song and it's on one of these volumes go for it, as all are originals.
Buck Owens - All-Time Greatest Hits, Vol.1 May 09, 2007
So sad that we recently lost this great entertainer. But we can still hear him singing his great songs that we will always remember on this "Greatest Hits" CD. He has others, but I like this one the best. I highly recommend this to others.
