Instrumental Hits ReviewThroughout their stellar career, Buck Owens and the Buckaroos were both a crack live outfit and a hit-making recording group. Their music resounded with the twin Telecaster guitars and harmony singing of Owens and his right-hand man, Don Rich, along with the ace instrumental talents of Tom Brumley (pedal steel), Doyle Holly (bass), Willie Cantu (drums) and others. Throughout the '60s, their studio albums usually contained an instrumental track or two, and this 1965 album anthologizes many of those tracks. It also introduces "Buckaroo," the hit instrumental single that would become Owens' theme song.
These tracks gave the band members a chance to stretch out, and gave listeners an extended opportunity to enjoy the players' instrumental abilities. Rich's fiddle playing on "Orange Blossom Special," "Faded Love," and "A Maiden's Prayer" show off the talent that attracted Owens to him in the first place, and his guitar lead on "Buckaroo" heads up one of the most memorable country instrumentals ever recorded. Tom Brumley's steel on "Bud's Bounce" and Leon McAuliffe's "Steel Guitar Rag" show off the West Coast style he developed, and the influence Ralph Mooney had on his playing. Owens himself, better known for his vocals (especially after relinquishing lead-guitar duties to Don Rich), flat picks a storm on his trio of polkas, "Raz-Ma-Taz Polka," "Country Polka" and "Buck's Polka."
Unlike bands that made their name as instrumental combos, The Buckaroos chops were equally key on their vocal tracks. Their instrumental recordings are certainly fine, but given what else the band was capable of, most of these tracks are better heard as album accompaniment. After a half-dozen, one begins to long for the harmonies of Owens and Rich to complement the instruments.
Sundazed's reissue augments the original dozen tracks with a pair taken from the 1966 release, "The Buck Owens Songbook," an album of hits re-recorded as instrumentals under the direction of Don Rich. Both tracks ("Act Naturally" and "I've Got a Tiger By the Tail") are fine, but greatly miss Owens vocals.Instrumental Hits Overview
