This collection documents the hits of country music icon Buck Owens as he defined the Bakersfield sound and became a major architect of west coast country overall.
Ministry Founder Al Jourgensen, known as the godfather of Industrial Metal, has long been known as his Country doppelganger, Buck Satan an ode to Jourgensen s long-time Country hero Buck Owens, who just prior to his death blessed Jourgensen s Country side project: Buck Satan & The 666 Shooters. Joining Jourgensen are The 666 Shooters, aka: Rick Nielsen (CHEAP TRICK), Tony Campos (STATIC-X) and Mike Scaccia (RIGOR MORTIS, MINISTRY)!!! Also features other guest artists from the Metal and Rock world as well as Country artists, fiddlers, cellists, pedal steel guitars, mandolins, banjos etc. Jourgensen digs deep into the vaults of his extensive knowledge of both kinds of music (Country & Western!) for inspiration to accomplish this provocative and melodically gorgeous array of original tracks and Gram Parsons/The Byrds, The Grateful Dead and Heartsfield covers. Get ready to swing your pardner round and round in a whole new and unique way with Buck Satan & The 666 Shooters!
AL JOURGENSEN: ... there s a lot of truth on this record. This isn t just me being all mad about a bunch of corrupt politicians, or some idiot is supposedly running the country or the world; the government or whatever. Or the whole system failure that I ve been screaming about for years and blah, blah, blah. This one s pretty personal. You can read between the lines on this one and you can see that this record s pretty true to me.
(8-CD LP-sized Box Set + 108 page hardcover book) This 8-CD set chronicles every existing recording from Buck Owens' last years with CAPITOL RECORDS. Every week he was on the hugely popular 'Hee-Haw' TV show, his concerts were sell-outs, and he was building a business empire in his adopted hometown, Bakersfield, California. He recorded at his own studio and fans across the country had an insatiable appetite for his raw voice, his clever, snappy songs and the band's minimalist twang. It was success on a scale that every singer dreamed of, but few ever got and fewer still could handle.
During his last years on CAPITOL, Buck tried to bring more variety to his sound. Acutely aware of changes in pop music, Buck admired rock bands' freedom to create and experiment with new and unorthodox sounds. This set includes a wider mix of styles than Buck had ever tried on record before. There are over 20 charted hits, beginning with Tall Dark Stranger and ending with Buck's exciting new version of The Battle Of New Orleans. In between are Buck Owens classics like I Wouldn't Live In New York City (If They Gave Me The Whole Dang Town), Bridge Over Troubled Water, Ruby, Rollin' In My Sweet Baby's Arms, Made In Japan, Ain't It Amazing Gracie, On The Cover Of Music City News, Monsters' Holiday, and the original version of Streets Of Bakersfield (later a #1 hit duet with Dwight Yoakam). This set also includes all the LPs, his bluegrass sessions, all the duets with Susan Raye, Buck's son, Buddy Alan, and an amazing unreleased duet with R&B singer Bettye Swann. Plus all the Buckaroos' albums! Alongside the hits, there are many previously unreleased songs.
