Info for The Kansas City Song (Remastered)

Throughout Omnivore Recordings’ 12-year relationship with the Buck Owens Private Foundation, one request from the fans was clear and consistent—to make Buck’s late-’60s/early-’70s releases available again as stand-alone reissues. Omnivore is proud to answer that call and announce 9 titles to be released throughout the summer and fall of 2021. The albums will be released as they were originally issued and for the first time, appear in their original configuration on HIGHRESAUDIO, mastered from the original analog tapes in 192kHz, 24bit.

Originally released in July of 1970, The Kansas City Song gave Owens another top 10 entry on the country album charts. All ten of the songs were written or co-written, by Owens, including the title track which hit #2 on the country singles charts. It also began Buck’s run of “city centered” material, which would come to fruition later that year on the hit release I Wouldn’t Live In New York City.

Now, over four decades later, the classic album returns – mastered from the original analog tapes by Grammy®-winner Michael Graves, Produced for release by Grammy®-winner Cheryl Pawelski, and featuring expanded artwork including new liner notes from author Randy Poe (Buck ‘Em! The Autobiography Of Buck Owens).

Buck Owens and his Buckaroos
were a phenomenon when they burst onto the scene in the early 1960s. In 1963–1964, they had five #1 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 Carnegie Hall Concert release hit #1 in 1966, but how exciting they were onstage before that was largely unheard of.

Buck Owens, born Alvis Edgar Owens Jr. in 1929 in Sherman, Texas, was an American country music singer, songwriter, and guitarist. He was a pioneer of the Bakersfield sound, a subgenre of country music that emerged in the 1950s and 1960s, characterized by its twangy guitars, driving rhythms, and honky-tonk influences.

Owens began his career in music in the early 1950s, playing in various honky-tonks and clubs in California. He formed his band, the Buckaroos, in 1958, and together they released their debut album, "Buck Owens and His Buckaroos," in 1961. The album was a critical and commercial success, and it helped to establish Owens as a major force in country music.

Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, Owens continued to release successful albums and singles. He had a string of 21 number-one hits on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, including "Act Naturally," "Love's Gonna Live Here," and "I Don't Care (Just As Long As You Love Me)." Owens was also a popular television star, hosting the variety show "Hee Haw" from 1969 to 1986. He continued to perform and record until his death in 2006.

The Exciting Sounds Of Buck Owens And His Buckaroos Live From Richmond, Virginia, 1964 is the recently discovered, earliest full-concert recording of The Buckaroos onstage. The band, performing the aforementioned #1 hits and more, shows how their 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.

This album contains no booklet.
