Rated 2/10

Nope... sorry, but no, sorry :'-(

Rated 4/10

It's not the worst kind of country music I've heard in this project. That said, I have no interest in exploring the album any further. 2/5

Rated 8/10

Wasn't amazed going in, but I ended up enjoying it a lot more than expected.

Rated 6/10

This is so country it's almost a parody. I honestly like it though. Starts stronger than it finishes.

Rated 4/10

I can handle some country, but that was just too basic for me

Rated 6/10

Very well done, frolicking country. I feel like this album would always put me in a good mood. Favorite track: I've Got a Tiger By the Tail

Rated 4/10

Weinig bijgebleven van deze plaat, behalve dat ik de vocals strontvervelend vond op een aantal nummers. Gelukkig is er altijd nog slechtere country.

Rated 6/10

I've always had fond memories of listening to Buck's music having been raised a stalwart Dwight Yoakam fan from an early age. I recognize his importance to the Bakersfield sound, and really love his emphasis on steel guitar slides. The songs really don't leave too much of an impact beyond being upbeat and snappy. I'll be listening to a compilation of his big tracks at some point and most likely enjoy that much more as a record.

Rated 6/10

Just a feel good classic country album. I have nothing bad to say about this. Cant really say it was mind blowing either. Favorites were Wham Bam, Fallin’ For You, Streets Of Laredo, and Memphis.

Rated 4/10

He had a good voice, but each song was too repetitive. Country music similar to this has this tendency to have this bass(?) guitar play the same note throughout the song with no deviation. They all end the same too.

Rated 4/10

country bumpkin af

Rated 8/10

Goofy album cover aside, this is great. Old school country was so fun—solid songwriting craft, bouncy energy, well-sung. Weird to see people call it a parody of country music. Where do they think those stereotypes came from?

Rated 6/10

This reminds me of visiting my uncle out in the country back when I was a kid. Not an album I see myself ever getting the urge to put on, but not opposed to hearing it out in the wild.

Rated 4/10

Demasiado Country para mí. No estaba mal, pero no lo veo imprescindible.

Rated 2/10

If I ever needed a reminder of why I can’t stand country music, here’s the perfect example of everything I find annoying about it. Cheesy music, saccharine lyrics (I love my baby, I miss my baby, my baby has left me), sluggish tempos, sentimentality instead of poetry – or at least virtuosity.

Rated 4/10

Gods, please save me from further country experience.

Rated 6/10

Not bad, classic country that doesn’t overstay its welcome.

Rated 6/10

Buck Owens was one of the biggest names in country at the time, also one of the best. He has a really unique and fitting voice and the Buckaroos are one of the best country backing bands. I don't really enjoy this album as much as other works of his though. The instrumental track and songs not sung by him kind of detract from my experience. It doesn't really have the hit songs of some other albums of his either.

Rated 6/10

Quite an upbeat, fun, album. Even the 'woe is me' tracks didn't make me want to slit my wrists. The guitar work is very good and he sings in tune.

Not something I'd ever listen too again, but I appreciate the talent.

Rated 4/10

Look, this is fine. The highlight is the non-Ringo version of 'Act Naturally.'

But this is really an old skool country record you can put on and forget about. Nothing mind blowing here.
