I listen to alot of country but I can't say I am familiar with him.  Saw on the CMT site this morning.

You don't know Buck because he never fit the Nashville formula, and that's what gets played on about 99% of the "country music" stations nationwide. Been that way for probably 30 years. He was responsible, almost singlehandedly, for setting the stage for Merle Haggard, Dwight Yokam, and a whole slew of Bakersfield and Los Angeles based country singers. There's a whole world of outstanding country music out there that you'll probably never hear on so called "country music" stations. In fact, most of it is way better than the stuff they play. The Cap'n

This is the truth....

There are lots of alternative country artists out there that just kick ass.... Robert Earl Keen, Lyle Lovett, Charlie Robison, Dwight Yoakam, Buck, Merle, Willie (some days).... Satellite radio is great if you are into anything but top-40 pop or country music. Phoenix, for example, has no really good country stations, I listen to one in Globe when I can get it to tune in.

Problem is that they don't have sponsorship from major vendors so they just arent played on radio as much.... oh wait, that's the problem with NASCAR.

For some fun listen to Hayseed Dixie: Classic AC/DC (and others) songs done by a great bluegrass band.

Damn, I didn't hear that he had died.
I was fortunate enough to get to see him play the Bumbershoot festival in Seattle. He opened up for the band 'Live'. He had recovered from throat cancer at that point. He couldn't talk very well, but somehow when he sang it sounded great. I didn't read every one of the prior posts, but he was responsible for quite a few hits. I always liked "Tiger By The Tail', and of course 'Act Naturally' I think was written by him too. The Beatles covered that one on the 'Yesterday and Today' album.
I'm *only* 37 years old, but I remember of course seeing him on Hee Haw, and hearing a lot of his songs on the radio when I was a kid. Of course, that's when they actually played country music on the radio....

Check your local cable tv source, my Adelphia has Classic Country, I've been working at home listening to it. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

My dad was a real, honest to god working Montana cowboy before ww2 and he always said Buck Owens was "all cowboy hat and no cattle" but he did like tiger by the tail, but he was always embarrased by that....anyone who paved the way for Lyle Lovett is OK with me...best country singer since Bocepus daddy...and Patsy Cline...ok, so I'm old school....so?

Yup... I think it was Merle who coined it as the "Bakersfield Sound".

It's good to see Buck have such a good run of it. As stated a few up... RIP Buck. Thanks for the memories and the music. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

Although im not the country type, Buck was a great figure from Bakersfield. I just dont know if he was really worthy of having a road named after him and removal of the Bakersfield sign from the strip really annoyed me... But, he will be missed.

I understand he was a lot like NACAR:
much more intellectual and calculated than the market cares to realize.

If you are my age and you lived in So Cal you had to listen to Cliffy Stones home town Jamboree TVed at the old El Monte Stomp. featured Buck Owens ,Tennesee Ernie Ford, Roy ?, Johny Cash, M Haggard,and a whole bunch of non Nashville types that were one of the most watched TV programs in the country.

Buck Owens, thanks for the many songs and the "Bakerfield's Sound". My wife and I were planning on seeing his show in Bakersfield this year. Alas!! It will never happen.

If I remember correctly, he was both honored in the Rock and Roll industry as well as the Country music industry. I do know he did his own thing and stayed in Bakersfield for a lot of years. He stilled performed two nights a week when he was seventy-five. I have to respect a man or woman who marches to their own drumbeat and still enjoy it when everyone else has retired.

I am not a C&W fan per se but I really respect Buck Owens. He was one of a kind and followed his own ideas. Something America is saddly missing: belief in the individual and individual effort .

Thanks for the music.

I think I thought of Roy Clark because... wasn't he on HeeHaw a lot? I always associate him with that California crowd.

Lots of good players named Roy.

Roy Buchannon would be one of my favorites.
