Buck gives his voice a rest and gives his band a chance to shine with this set of all-instrumental originals (the jangly "Buckaroo") and country standards ("Orange Blossom Special," "Faded Love"). Sharp, fast and crystalline playing is on the menu, and you`ll be going back for seconds, as these cats have mastered a becoming-scarce art of playing: say what you have to say and move on. No noodling/doodling for these guys, no indeed. The guitars twang, the drums snap, the pedal steel swings & swells, the fiddle cuts to the heart, the tempos alternate between leisurely & almost-manic. Recorded in 1963-65 and does not sound dated at all. Country music`s answer to the Ventures! Two Thumbs Up!
