Awesome book!By D. DavenportBuck was my idol in my early teens, just as he was hitting the airwaves with his hits on Capitol. I saw Buck perform many times in the '60's, two of which were at Springer's Ballroom in Gresham, OR. If anyone reading this was at those concerts please contact me! The book was hard to put down. As a fan, I knew Buck from records, radio, and concerts. So when I read his book, I could combine what I knew about Buck from a fan standpoint with the story told by the man himself. This rags to riches story, through a lot of hard work, is very inspiring. He also talks about his love life and how women, through his own actions, got him into some trouble. This is a side of Buck I never knew. It's refreshing to read about a talent who made it big in country music on the west coast, as opposed to in Nashville. If you are a fan of Buck and have any interest in how he made it big, this is a great read.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A Great Account by a Great ArtistBy Old Enough to Know BetterBuck was unique, and he wasn't just some goofball that you saw on Hee Haw. Much of the Country influenced Rock of the late sixties, the seventies and the early eighties was written and performed by fans of Buck Owens. For my tastes, this is quite significant.Buck Owens was a serious musician and he forged a new direction for Country. In an era when Nashville was resorting to string sections and complex backing vocals Buck Owens played simple Country music but gave it a bit of a kick in the backside as far as tempo was concerned. Most of his music was upbeat and lively. They were fun songs sung in a manner that never took itself too seriously.Buck and Don Rich blended vocally like no other pairing that comes to mind. While they were technically excellent there was something about their voices that made them sound like a construction worker harmonizing with the mechanic at the service station. :) I don't mean that as a criticism, I like that aspect of their music. They were accessible to the average listener. Buck and the Buckaroos were like the band that played at a local bar, except that they were far better than average; a more polished version of real honky-tonk music.Reading Buck Owens thoughts made me appreciate his music all the more. He was a Classic tale of a Dust Bowl refugee that ended up moving west and, eventually, settling in California's Central Valley. His story could be considered the follow up to Grapes of Wrath . with a very happy ending.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A truly enjoyable read that I hated to come to an end.By Hank UnckFor those whose only familiarity with Buck Owens is the hayseed character (which he despised) that he portrayed on hit TV show "Hee Haw", this book will be a real eye opener. Even those who are aware that Buck Owens played many local and regional "dives" and one-night gigs will get more than their fill of detail of those days and his rise to stardom. It's all told in Buck's down-home "voice" as he actually recorded hundreds of cassettes, as the mood struck him over the years, in anticipation of one day writing an autobiography. Buck died before that could happened, but his tapes provided all the material - much of it verbatim - along with recollections from others whom he met, worked and played with, along the way. A truly enjoyable read that I hated to come to an end. (Book). Born in Texas and raised in Arizona, Buck Owens eventually found his way to Bakersfield, California. Unlike the vast majority of country singers, songwriters, and musicians who made their fortunes working and living in Nashville, the often rebellious and always independent Owens chose to create his own brand of country music some 2,000 miles away from Music City racking up a remarkable 21 number-one hits along the way. In the process he helped give birth to a new country sound and did more than any other individual to establish Bakersfield as a country music center. In the latter half of the 1990s, Buck began working on his autobiography. Over the next few years, he talked into the microphone of a cassette tape machine for nearly one hundred hours, recording the story of his life. With his near-photographic memory, Buck recalled everything from his early days wearing hand-me-down clothes in Texas to his glory years as the biggest country star of the 1960s; from his legendary Carnegie Hall concert to his multiple failed marriages; from his hilarious exploits on the road to the tragic loss of his musical partner and best friend, Don Rich; from his days as the host of a local TV show in Tacoma, Washington, to his co-hosting the network television show Hee Haw ; and from his comeback hit, "Streets of Bakersfield," to his induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame. In these pages, Buck also shows his astute business acumen, having been among the first country artists to create his own music publishing company. He also tells of negotiating the return of all of his Capitol master recordings, his acquisition of numerous radio stations, and of his conceiving and building the Crystal Palace, one of the most venerated musical venues in the country. In the latter part of the 1990s, country music legend Buck Owens spent close to 100 hours speaking into a tape recorder in an effort to document his life. Though Owens died before he was able to complete that task, record producer and author Randy Poe (Skydog: The Duane Allman Story) transcribed those tapes, assembling the stories here in chronological order. His dutiful efforts pay off in this insightful and engrossing read. Poe personalizes the narrator and gives readers a true sense of the voice of the hardworking musician who helped define the Bakersfield sound and influenced countless musicians. Growing up in labor camps and sleeping in the car after his family fled the Dust Bowl instilled a work ethic that never left Owens. His professionalism and business savvy would serve he and his band well, as he navigated dubious record deals, created his own publishing company, bought radio stations, a TV station, and three newspapers, all of which helped him tremendously when his star began to dim. The real treat is Owens' near-photographic memory, as he recalls countless recording sessions, shows, and chart positions for his many singles that he takes great pride in. Owens's tales of playing everything from a rowdy honky tonk (''if a fight breaks out, don't stop playing just start playing louder'') as well as Carnegie Hall make for terrific reading as well as a reminder of how the music industry used to function. Even readers unfamiliar with Owens's massive body of work will find this to be an immersive and informative look at one of country's most influential and surprisingly humble musicians. --Publishers WeeklyBuck 'Em is a good, chewy read...Anyone who knew Buck, or was sufficiently familiar with his voice...will hear his playful, high-baritone drawl rising from these pages...Fans of the performer and Bakersfield icon will eat it up. --Bakersfield Californian...Buck 'Em! The Autobiography of Buck Owens feels like sharing a pint of whiskey with a rascal charmer who had 21 #1 hits and his song Act Naturally covered by The Beatles.... The latter part of the book deals with Owens' response to [Don] Rich s death, and it seems that he never really got over it. But his voice, even at its gravest moments, remains spirited, and full of spit and vinegar. --L.A. Weeklyhellip;Remarkablehellip;This fascinating read unspools a tale worthy of its musical pioneer.

    “Carnegie Hall Concert with Buck Owens and His Buckaroos”—Buck Owens and His Buckaroos (1966) Added to the National Registry: 2013 Essay by Scott B. Bomar (guest post) * Original album Original label Buck Owens and His Buckaroos In the fall of 1965, Buck Owens was the biggest country star in the world. He was halfway through a string of sixteen consecutive #1 singles on the country chart in the industry-leading “Billboard” magazine, and had just been invited to appear at New York City’s prestigious Carnegie Hall. Already designated a National Historic Landmark, the esteemed venue had hosted Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff, Stravinsky, Gershwin, Bernstein, and Ellington. Owens recognized the honor of being asked, but instructed his manager, Jack McFadden, to decline the offer. “When they first started talking about it, it scared me to death,” he admitted in a 1967 radio interview with Bill Thompson. Buck was worried the Manhattan audience wouldn’t be interested in his music, and he wanted to avoid the embarrassment of unsold tickets. McFadden pushed him to reconsider. When Ken Nelson, Owens’ producer at Capitol Records, suggested they record the performance and release it as his first live album, Buck finally conceded. Buck Owens’ journey to the top of the charts and the top of the bill at the most revered concert hall in the United States began in Sherman, Texas, where he was born Alvis Edgar Owens, Junior in 1929. By 1937, the Owens family was headed for a new life in California, but they wound up settling in Mesa, Arizona, when a broken trailer hitch derailed their plan.

  • “Amarillo by Morning” the Life and Songs of Terry Stafford 1
    In the early months of 1964, on their inaugural tour of North America, the Beatles seemed to be everywhere: appearing on The Ed Sullivan Show, making the front cover of Newsweek, and playing for fanatical crowds at sold out concerts in Washington, D.C. and New York City. On Billboard magazine’s April 4, 1964, Hot 100 2 list, the “Fab Four” held the top five positions. 28 One notch down at Number 6 was “Suspicion,” 29 by a virtually unknown singer from Amarillo, Texas, named Terry Stafford. The following week “Suspicion” – a song that sounded suspiciously like Elvis Presley using an alias – moved up to Number 3, wedged in between the Beatles’ “Twist and Shout” and “She Loves You.”3 The saga of how a Texas boy met the British Invasion head-on, achieving almost overnight success and a Top-10 hit, is one of triumph and “Amarillo By Morning” disappointment, a reminder of the vagaries The Life and Songs of Terry Stafford 1 that are a fact of life when pursuing a career in Joe W. Specht music. It is also the story of Stafford’s continuing development as a gifted songwriter, a fact too often overlooked when assessing his career. Terry Stafford publicity photo circa 1964.

  • Multimillion-Selling Singer Crystal Gayle Has Performed Songs from a Wide Variety of Genres During Her Award-Studded Career, B
    MultiMillion-selling singer Crystal Gayle has performed songs from a wide variety of genres during her award-studded career, but she has never devoted an album to classic country music. Until now. You Don’t Know Me​ is a collection that finds the acclaimed stylist exploring the songs of such country legends as George Jones, Patsy Cline, Buck Owens and Eddy Arnold. The album might come as a surprise to those who associate Crystal with an uptown sound that made her a star on both country and adult-contemporary pop charts. But she has known this repertoire of hardcore country standards all her life. “This wasn’t a stretch at all,” says Crystal. “These are songs I grew up singing. I’ve been wanting to do this for a long time. “The songs on this album aren’t songs I sing in my concerts until recently. But they are very much a part of my history.” Each of the selections was chosen because it played a role in her musical development. Two of them point to the importance that her family had in bringing her to fame. You Don’t Know Me contains the first recorded trio vocal performance by Crystal with her singing sisters Loretta Lynn and Peggy Sue. It is their version of Dolly Parton’s “Put It Off Until Tomorrow.” “You Never Were Mine” comes from the pen of her older brother, Jay Lee Webb (1937-1996). The two were always close. Jay Lee was the oldest brother still living with the family when their father passed away.

  • 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.
