Live From Austin, TX

Product Description:

Personnel: Buck Owens (guitar); Terry Christoffersen (guitar); Jim Shaw (keyboards); Doyle Curtsinger (bass instrument); James P. McCarty (drums).

Additional personnel: Dwight Yoakam.

According to the Bakersfield master himself, Buck Owens was once watching Dwight Yoakam on Austin City Limits in the mid '80s when the budding country star dedicated his whole set to Owens. Moved, Owens met Yoakam and found himself inspired to return to the stage almost a decade after quitting the music business. One of these comeback shows is captured on this fantastic DVD as part of the venerable LIVE FROM AUSTIN TX series and features Yoakam duetting with his mentor on "Under Your Spell Again."

The time off clearly did Owens good, as he seems spry as ever on this eleven song set (also recorded for Austin City Limits). He tears through a set of all his major hits, including "Tiger By the Tail," "Act Naturally," "Together Again," and "Love's Gonna Live Here." Owens also proves how close his Bakersfield recipe is to rock & roll with covers of Chuck Berry and Eddie Cochran. His voice sounds great, the band rips, and he delivers the material like its Carnegie Hall in 1966.

(Note: The DVD features 5.1 surround sound and previously unaired performances.)
