Perennial trailblazers whose electrifying Bakersfield sound topped the country charts for most of the ’60s, Buck Owens and the Buckaroos plowed even newer ground with the 1971 album Ruby & Other Bluegrass Specials. Ruby is a deep bow in the direction of bluegrass legend Bill Monroe, the man whose back-beat lit a fire under Elvis Presley and Carl Perkins. Ruby saw heavy chart action, justifying Buck Owens’ desire to roll with the times while also detailing his conversion from chart-topping country artist to Country Music Hall Of Fame shoo-in. This title was personally selected for re-release on Sundazed by Buck himself
