Your Tender Loving Care [CD]

Led by the smash hit title track, 1967’s Your Tender Loving Care extended Buck Owens’ best-selling album run. Backed by the unparalleled mastery of the Buckaroos, Buck romps through the joyfully rollicking “Sam’s Place,” a chart-topping song inspired by a real Richmond, CA saloon. Featuring the deft left hand of guitarist Don Rich, the song remains a fan favorite. Elsewhere on the album, Buck gives a heartfelt reading of former Buckaroo Merle Haggard’s song, “House of Memories.” Need more? How about stellar songs like “Only You Can Break My Heart,” “Don’t Ever Tell Me Goodbye” and the light-hearted “You Made a Monkey Out of Me.” As if that weren’t enough, this super-charged Sundazed Music edition adds two bonus tracks: the original mono single versions of both “You’re Tender Loving Care” and “Sam’s Place.”
