Van Buck Owens wordt op 31 mei het 3e en laatste deel in de serie van historische Capitol singles uit de ’50-er, ’60-er en ’70-er jaren uitgebracht. Het zijn de originele stereo tapes die zijn geremastered met de A- en B-kant van alle 21 singles uit die periode waaronder 9 Top 10 hits in hun originele chronologische volgorde. Bijgevoegd zijn de liner notes van auteur en Bakersfield country historicus Scott B. Bomar.
“One of the good things that happened in 1970 was that I finally had my studio up and running in Bakersfield,” said Owens of that period. “If I was in the mood to record, I’d just call the guys and tell ‘em when to be there. I didn’t have to deal with having to find out when Capitol’s studio would be available anymore,or go to the trouble of driving down to L.A. every time we were going to record or knowing that every minute I was recording at Capitol it was costing me money. It was still costing me money to record at my own studio, of course, but at least I wasn’t billing myself at an hourly rate that would be charged against my record royalties like Capitol had done to me all those years.”
