Buck Owens - Live at the White House

2012 collection from the Country icon, which captures both his White House concert as well as recordings made for Apollo 16. This album is a document of the classic Owens performance at the White House. And, as befits a one-of-a-lifetime experience, it is presented here exactly as that distinguished White House audience heard it without frills, without electronic hocus-pocus, just the good-natured Owens sound, the music of Buddy Alan, Doyle Holly, Don Rich, the Buckaroos and especially Buck Owens himself. The music of the people. In early 1972 (the year the actual Live at the White House album was released), Buck received another call from his country. This time his mission was to provide music to go to space aboard Apollo 16. a half-hour show was recorded by Buck and his band at his Bakersfield studios. Astronaut Charlie Duke recollects that the crew enjoyed listening to the tapes in space: It was really fun we played those tapes a lot during our flight to and from the Moon. Now, for the first time, the rest of US Earthbound folks have a chance to hear what those on Apollo 16 heard in space nearly 40 years ago!
