Throughout Omnivore Recordings' 12-year relationship with the Buck Owens Private Foundation, one request from the fans was clear and consistent-to make Buck's late-'60s/early-'70s releases available again as stand-alone reissues. Omnivore is proud to answer that call and announce 9 titles to be released throughout the summer and fall of 2021. The albums will be released as they were originally issued and for the first time, appear in their original configuration on CD and Digital, mastered from the original analog tapes, and with expanded artwork and new liner notes. Originally released in 1970, I Wouldn't Live In New York City saw Owens and His Buckaroos hit #12 on the country album charts. All ten of the songs were written or co-written by Owens, including the title track which hit #9 on the country singles charts, and gave Buck his 38th top 10 hit in the decade. The album also introduces the newest and youngest Buckaroo, Jim Shaw on electric organ, harmonica, and piano.
