Buck Owens Obituary
Obituary of Buck Owens: March 27, 2006 By: Dave Hoekstra Buck Owens was more than a voice in country music. He was an American metaphor for the clarion of possibility after The Grapes of Wrath migration to California. Alvin Edgar "Buck" Owens was a honky-tonk singer, a TV star -- best known for his role in "Hee-Haw" -- and an entrepreneur who owned radio and television stations in Bakersfield, Calif. He was a good soul, one who would fly from Bakersfield to Portland, Ore., as he did in March 2005 to surprise compatriot Merle Haggard, who was opening for Bob Dylan. The depth of the moment was understood. With Mr. Owens standing stage right in a resplendent brown and black cowboy jacket, Dylan took a chance on Haggard's "Sing Me Back Home." Mr. Owens died Saturday at home in Bakersfield. He was 76. On Sunday, CMT.com reported the cause of death as a heart attack. He grew old, but his songs never became tired. In recent years he stopped touring outside of California, but he still managed to capture a new generation of fans that included Dwight Yoakam, Steve Earle and the Bottle Rockets. In the late 1990s, John Soss of Chicago's Jam Productions held an annual Buck Owens birthday party at Schubas that featured artists as diverse as soul singers Otis Clay and Mavis Staples, and country-rocker Jon Langford. Mr. Owens crossed borders he never would have dreamed of as a child when he headed west with his sharecropper parents from the Red River Valley near Sherman, Texas.

ECH One Sheet
E. Christina Herr & Wild Frontier Contact: 505.890.8924 [email protected] EChristinaHerr.com Facebook.com/EChristinaHerrAndWildFrontier myspace.com/EChristinaHerr It’s easy to think Joni Mitchell’s long-lost but equally talented sister has suddenly found herself backed by a haunting Western band. —Santa Fe Reporter A sonic rodeo of original Americana, Alt Country Twang, old school Rock ‘n Roll and Spaghetti Western, E. Christina Herr & Wild Frontier evoke a compelling musical weather report from the West and Southwest of yesterday and today. Christina’s crystal clear alto voice and tremolo vibrato contrasts brilliantly with the ring of vintage acoustic and electric guitar twang, atmospheric pedal steel, driving upright bass and drums. She’s been compared to Emmylou Harris, Lucinda Williams, Joni Mitchell, Wanda Jackson and Chrissie Hynde. Wild Frontier reflects influences from the psychedelic Neil Young and Crazy Horse, the cosmic alt country of Gram Parsons and the Flying Burrito Brothers, Don Rich’s Bakersfield sound, John Ford’s atmospheric landscapes and Ennio Morricone’s Spaghetti Western soundtracks. The songs on Wild Frontier’s latest CD, Americana Motel, range from country two steps, and cowboy waltzes to old school rock n’ roll… With songs telling stories about desert cowboys, longed for road signs, burning embers and a tragic songwriter poet. All flavored with an original sound the band calls Western Gothic. Some of Wild Frontier’s recent appearances: Santa Fe Bandstand, Nashville Songwriter Showcase, WDVX Blue Plate Special, Knoxville TN, KBAC Free Fall, Santa Fe Performance Exchange, Albuquerque Old Town, New Mexico State Fair, The Cowgirl BBQ, RT 66 Casino, Buffalo Thunder Casino, The Alley Cantina, The Adobe Bar - Taos, Santa Fe Brewing Co, 2nd Street Brewery, Scalo Il Bar, Low Spirits and The Mineshaft Tavern… A song from Americana Motel is featured #1 on the No Depression Magazine Music Player.
