Roll Out the Red Carpet (Buck Owens album)

Roll Out the Red Carpet for Buck Owens and his Buckaroos (or simply Roll Out the Red Carpet) is an album by Buck Owens and his Buckaroos, released in 1966. It reached Number one on the Billboard Country charts and Number 106 on the Pop Albums charts.

It was re-released on CD in 1995 by Sundazed Records with two bonus tracks, both instrumental performances.

Reception
In his Allmusic review, critic Lindsay Planer wrote "The stability of the lineup as well as a few Buckaroo instrumentals and vocal duets—featuring lead Buckaroo and longtime Owens collaborator Don Rich—contribute to the power of this oft-overlooked effort. The increasingly subtle yet significant impact of rock & roll can be heard throughout Roll Out the Red Carpet."
