Just got back from a couple weeks of leave and managed to pick up the CD "Buck Owne Sings Harlan Howard". If you want to hear some Mooney to die for, this is the CD! Hardcore Mooney on each and every song, I especially like the break on "Thats alot of heartache for a dime". If you want some good tunes with good steel, man you can't go wrong with this one!!!
Of course thats just my $.02 worth!

That would turn my crank just nicely. I've always been a big Ralph Mooney and Buck Owens fan. Is Don Rich on this as Well?

| Ralph Mooney-What a great talent! Around '59 or 60, I was looking for a hard country recording-someone suggested a Buck Owens album-when I heard the first song that steel jumped our and grabbed me! The vocals were good, but I went around the campus whistling the steel rides! I especially liked hiswork on " High As the Mountains" and Above And Beyond". I read that in his younger days he had built a pedal steel from various parts and when he went to play on a Wanda Jackson session that when she saw the instrument she had to hear it played before agreeing to use it- Jerry is that a true incident? Have any of our fourmites worked with Ralph before or during his time with Owens? |
