Dwight was born to sing BuckApril 17, 2009 K. Davis 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Buck is Buck and Dwight is Dwight...but the spin that Dwight puts on Buck's songs is completely worth hearing. I own nearly all of Dwights albums and I live in the Bakersfield area where Buck was (and still is in a lot of ways) a big influence. While I love, love, love to hear the original Buck tunes (thanks to his awesome radio stations), Dwight does amazing justice to Buck with this album. I've seen Dwight sing these live as well and he's awesome there too. If you're a fan of both artists than you're going to love this album! Enjoy!
DWIGHT YOAKAM: Buck Owens' Pride & JoyJanuary 30, 2009 HUGO(HOUSTON, TEXAS United States) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I'll keep it short and simple. After seeing[television] and hearing[records/radio]Dwight & Buck divinely harmonizing and co-leading on vocals, while each respectfully held his own, on a few hits & tracks over the past 20 years, DWIGHT had to be BUCK OWENS' musical pride and joy, and the rightful heir to Buck's influential legacy. Buck must've enjoyed the fact that 'somebody out there' other than the record buying fans was LISTENING to his music and being inspired to carry the torch. Buck Owens was one of a kind in music history - nobody else ever sounded nor played music as he did. Dwight Yoakam is also one of a kind, no carbon copy of anybody else, absolutely rare and unique in that he absorbed his musical influences well, bred them in his mind, ears and soul, and molded every ounce into his own distinct, identifiable sound. Dwight does Buck mighty proud, and Mr. Owens is smiling down on his sincere friend.

If you like Buck Owens and if you like Dwight Yoakam, then this is the CD for you. Dwight sings a lot of the great Buck Owens hits, but he puts the Dwight Yoakam twist on them. I was very pleasantly surprised the first time I listened to it.
I'd buy this all over again.Dwight Sings Buck

I loved this album. I also believe Dwight did a sincere and flattering memorial to Buck.
Buck would be proud of this album....December 16, 2008 Jeff Sartain(Olive Branch, MS USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Dwight does a great job reworking these Buck songs. The best one is Tender Lovin' Care. I was so pleased to see that someone gave Buck his do for being a great artist. Buck would be so proud of this album. Thanks Dwight for the hard work. We all appreciate it.
