MANSON GRANT - A Tribute To Buck Owens

It’s over two years since I featured an interview with MANSON GRANT in the pages of CMDS. He talked then about his love of Buck Owens (who had recently passed away), and that he may do a tribute album.
Well it’s here! “A Tribute To Buck Owens” (Pan Records) features 14 of Buck’s songs, done in Manson’s own style. All the biggies are here, from “Crying Time” and “Together Again” to “Open Up Your Heart”, “My Heart Skips A Beat” and “I’ve Got A Tiger By The Tail”.
Manson has recreated Buck’s Bakersfield sound – without leaving Wick. The album was recorded at the town’s Studio-D, and features hard working northern musicians like Phil Anderson, Gordie Gunn, Richard Neilson, and Manson’s longtime fellow Dynamo Robert Cameron.
The album should be in shops, but if you’ve any trouble, check out www.panrecords.co.uk
