about

Riding the crest of fame, Buck Owens never thought of slowing down in 1966. Marking a departure from his last few albums, Open Up Your Heart features Buck as the sole lead vocalist on all cuts. The title track, one of three #1 singles on the album, features chicken pickin’ Telecaster licks courtesy of guest guitarist James Burton. It stayed atop the country charts for six weeks. Other standout tracks include the blue-collar broadside “Sam’s Place” (inspired by a real establishment in Richmond, CA), the humorous “Waitin’ In Your Welfare Line” and the mid-tempo hit “Think of Me,” which featured lyrics taken from a poem sent to Buck by a fan. This Sundazed edition, painstakingly remastered for your listening pleasure, adds two bonus tracks: the original mono single versions of “Open Up Your Heart” and “Think of Me.”
