Pro Reviews: 21 #1 Hits: The Ultimate Collection (Rmst)
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews It's not accurate to say that Buck Owens' catalog has been mistreated on CD he was one of the first major country artists to be given an excellent, comprehensive multidisc box set, and he's one of the few country artists to see most of his actual fulllength LPs reissued on CD. Despite all this activity, there has been one glaring omission from his discography: a singledisc overview of his career containing all his big hits. Released a few months after his death, Rhino's 2006 release 21 1 Hits: The Ultimate Collection comes close to filling that bill. Like most collections that narrow their focus to just Billboard charttoppers, 21 1 Hits contains the lion's share of the artist's bestknown songs in this case, "Act Naturally," "Love's Gonna Live Here," "I've Got a Tiger by the Tail," "Together Again," "Buckaroo," and his duet with Dwight Yoakam on "Streets of Bakersfield" are all here yet misses some important and popular sides that came up shy of the pole position. Here, such early singles as "Second Fiddle," "Under Your Spell Again," "Above and Beyond," and "Mental Cruelty" are missing in action, and all deserve a spot on a definitive introduction to Buck, particularly since there's room for them on this 50minute disc. Also, this comp suffers from odd sequencing: most of his bestknown songs all arrive within the first six songs, including the 1988 rerecording of "Streets of Bakersfield," which sounds out of place sandwiched between the '60s classics "Love's Gonna Live Here" and "I've Got a Tiger by the Tail." After that introductory burst, it settles into a rough chronological order, which only highlights the fact that the 1988 "Streets" would have been a better closer than Buck's admittedly fine 1969 live version of "Johnny B. Goode." But this is nitpicking: there is no other singledisc Buck CD that comes as close to offering as much of his best in one disc as 21 1 Hits: The Ultimate Collection, and it's nice to finally have such a collection in his catalog after such a long wait. - Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide |

Pros: Buck & lead Buckaroo Don Rich were magic together
Cons: doesn't include the song "Hello, trouble!"
Simply stated, Buck Owens could do it all. The man who pioneered the "Bakersfield" sound with his hard driving Telecaster & great band "The Buckaroos", was on top of his game in the 60's with hit after hit. These songs felect a new sound in country music that are a combi-
nation of country, rock, & honky tonk. Teaming up with his great
guitarist/singer & protege' Don Rich,
Buck had success few artists could ever imagine. Buck Owens not only had one of the greatest voices in
country music, but he was a very
gifted guitarist, songwriter & band leader.
Forget about Hee Haw, Buck Owens had already done it all before that show ever went on the air. ...
