"Together Again" is a 1964 song by American country singer and guitarist Buck Owens.

The song, best known as the "B" side to Owens' No. 1 hit, "My Heart Skips a Beat", interrupted that song's run at Number One on the U.S. country charts. Steel guitarist Tom Brumley's performance on "Together Again" is considered "one of the finest steel guitar solos in the history of country music" by the Country Music Television staff;^[1] it inspired Jerry Garcia to learn the instrument.

Covers

Ray Price on his 1965 album Burning Memories
Brendan O'Brien And The Dixies' recording of the song spent thirteen weeks in the Irish Singles Charts ^[2] from January to April 1966, peaking at number 4 on 14 February, appropriately.
Ray Charles released the song in 1966, and it reached #19 on the Billboard pop chart and #1 on the adult contemporary chart.^[3] On the soul chart, this version went to #10.^[4]
Glen Campbell on his 1967 album Burning Bridges
Wanda Jackson on her 1968 album Cream of the Crop

In 1979, Owens and Harris dueted on a song called "Play Together Again, Again," which paid tribute to the song both artists recorded and made famous.
