Like other musicians which were principally referred to as country singers, Buck Owens produced a short detour into rockabilly music when that music was producing its biggest commercial splash in the middle-’50s. And, like George Jones, he released his rockabilly recordings under a pseudonym, in order not to annoyed members of the united states music establishment who might keep his rockabilly outings against him. Owens’ exclusive rockabilly one, “Hot Pet dog”/”Tempo and Booze,” made an appearance in the Pep label and was in fact a quite great stab at mid-tempo rockabilly, nothing at all to become humiliated about. Both edges are included on Youthful Buck: THE ENTIRE Pre-Capitol Recordings of Buck Owens.
