Buck Owens – I’ve Got A Tiger By The Tail (BFRSD24)

Out of print on vinyl since the ’70s, this prime slab of ’65 Buck is Buck at his best. Topping the country charts and being named the Billboard Country Album Of The Year, the interest in this album never waned. This is THE Buck Owens album to own, as it is the apex of his career with the Buckaroos. Don Rich never sounded tighter (and even throws a guest vocal with ‘Wham Bam’). There has never been a more distinctive nor instantly recognizable sound in country music than Buck Owens, and this album is reflective of that.
There are a handful of hits on this one, including the title track, ‘Cryin’ Time,’ and ‘Memphis.’ If you only have room for one Buck Owens album, well, this is it! Cut all analog and pressed on orange vinyl for RSD Black Friday 2024.
