The Exciting Sounds of Buck Owens And His Buckaroos: Live From Richmond, Virginia, 1964 (Strawberry Jam Vinyl) [LP]

Buck Owens and his Buckaroos were a phenomenon when they burst onto the scene in the early 1960s. Between 1963 and 1964, they had five country hits, including "Act Naturally", "Love's Gonna Live Here", "I Don't Care (Just as Long as You Love Me)" and "My Heart Skips a Beat" Their live concert at Carnegie Hall became a number one hit in 1966, but how exciting they were on stage before that is largely unknown. Unless you were there. Until now.

"The Exciting Sounds of Buck Owens and His Buckaroos: Live from Richmond, Virginia, 1964" is the recently discovered, earliest complete concert recording of the Buckaroos on stage. Performing the aforementioned No. 1 hits and more, it shows how the band's presence and performance in front of a live audience cemented their status as one of the greatest acts of all time - in person and on record.

"The Exciting Sounds of Buck Owens and His Buckaroos: Live from Richmond, Virginia, 1964" has been meticulously restored and mastered by multiple Grammy® winner Michael Graves and showcases a band that was ready to take on the world. They even paid tribute to their new label mates, The Beatles, with a cover version of "Twist and Shout".

With a first pressing on Strawberry Jam vinyl, "The Exciting Sounds of Buck Owens and His Buckaroos: Live from Richmond, Virginia, 1964" looks and sounds like it could and should have been released in 1964, but with the style and technology of the 21st century.

So make your way to Richmond and hear Buck Owens and his Buckaroos running on all cylinders. It may have been over six decades ago, but it sounds as vibrant and important to music history today as ever.
