I’ve Got a Tiger By the Tail
Buck Owens

14/1001 This is quite an interesting little album with a great variety within it track list from sombre ballads to fun rockabilly-country so. I’ve always been a fan of the classic 50s - 70s period of country music ever since I first heard about Johnny Cash, and though Buck Owens is quite different in his style and approach I’m impressed by his range. The obvious standouts are the title track (which I must admit is a bad album opener considering the tone of most of the album), Trouble and Me and Streets of Laredo. The latter of these showcasing Owens’ lower register, which is really pleasant to hear. 3,5/5
