Married to Buck Owens and Merle Haggard, Bonnie Owens was the Queen of Bakersfield? and the original Honky Tonk Angel. All of Bonnie's recordings between 1953 and 1971, most of them appearing on CD for the very first time. Contains the original version of A Dear John Letter with Fuzzy Owen, and includes all of her duets with Merle Haggard, such as Just Between The Two Of Us, Slowly But Surely and A Stranger In My Arms.
Merle Haggard: 'I have no doubt that my success overshadowed Bonnie-it had to. Bonnie would be the last one to bring that up. She never complained. We were married and she was happy to tour and sing and write with me.'
Bear Family profiles one of the greatest and most underrated female country singers of all time. Bonnie Owens was the major female artist to emerge from the Bakersfield scene? the scene that spawned Merle Haggard, Tommy Collins, Ferlin Husky, Wynn Stewart, and Buck Owens ? and later inspired Dwight Yoakam and several generations of honky tonk singers. Typically, Bear Family has sourced unbelievably rare and obscure recordings, including Bonnie's original version of the country classic, A Dear John Letter.
She won awards, she co-wrote Today I Started Loving You Again, she toured ceaselessly for decades, but saw relatively few hits. That, though, was no reflection on her talent, and Bear Family is proud to offer this tribute to one of the true, unheralded architects of alternative country music.
