The fourty-seventh album: #47 Buck Owens & His Buckeroos - I've Got A Tiger By The Tail
Next up we have a country album that plays out as you'd expect - it sounds quite familiar. Friendly, some happy, some sad, but drawing from the same core. It sounds good and Let the Sad Times Roll On was really effective for me. Several of the songs are quite smart in how they're put together - nothing that feels like it pushes the boundary now, but it works well as a great example of what the genre sounds like. Wham Bam, on the other hand, feels like it plays with and tries to reinforce the stereotypes.
On the whole, the album is good, there's good music here, it just doesn't do much for me personally. There's nothing here that grabs or interests me that much. Some songs have some interesting lyrics, but it mostly goes the same places repeatedly, done competently but not amazingly so.
