YOAKAM PAYS TRIBUTE TO OWENS ON NEW ALBUM
Country star DWIGHT YOAKAM is to pay tribute to his late hero BUCK OWENS on a new album of covers.
Dwight Sings Buck features all of Owens' top five country hits, including Act Naturally and I Don't Care (Just As Long As You Love Me).
Yoakam says, "After his death, it was the clearest way I could express my love for him and acknowledge the depth of our friendship."
A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Buck Owens American Music Foundation, which serves to safeguard Owens' legacy.
Owens died in March (07).

This is indeed great news. Thankyou Mr. Yoakam for this marvellous gift to the
memory of Mr. Buck Owens. I am eagerly waiting for the day I can buy and listen
to the CD and imagining Buck Owens with his arm around Don Rich, smiling down
at D-Wight, with perhaps a tear in his eye.
