Buck Owens’ Bakersfield Brass Conducted and Arranged by Dave Gates

Buck Owens’ Bakersfield Brass Conducted and Arranged by Dave Gates
Bakersfield Brass...it sounds good to say. The two words go together. . .but listen to them play - that’s when Buck Owens’ Bakersfield Brass really go together!
On this first album, the Bakersfield Brass hold their own coming-out party by instrumentalizing ten of the most popular Country songs ever performed anywhere, by anyone, at any time. And to really fit everything together, all ten were originally made famous in the world by two of Bakersfield’s brightest sons: Buck Owens and Merle Haggard.
It’s unpolluted pleasure to hear easy instrumental interpretations of Buck’s greatest hits. Here you’ll find his Act Naturally; Cryin’ Time/Together Again; Buckaroo; My Heart Skips a Beat and more. Merle Haggard’s very latest masterpieces take on an even brighter sheen (if that’s possible) as the Bakersfield Brass take on Okie from Muskogee; Today I Started Loving You Again and I Take a Lot of Pride in What I AM.
Dave Gates, a son of Hollywood, figures among today’s most talented arrangers. The way he’s interpreted these songs - the songs everyone loves most - is sure to boost him to the top of his field. His touch with music is young. . .comfortable. . . confident. Dave has created a sound here that is the best of all possible “Brass.” Give a listen. - Wade Pepper
