There is only one Buck Owens . Remember when Buck passed away we were at a birthday party i told some people at the party about Bucks passing they acted like who in the heck is he ? I thought youall must not follow country music too closely Buck we all miss you buddy RIP Buck.
Wow, listen to those spot-on vocals. How many of today's manufactured country artists could manage that in a live setting? Very few, I'd imagine. It's nice to see Buck pick that solo too.
Buck Owens was an Awesome talent...listen to him Pick here...he could mesmerize audiences with His different talents! He was very humble...He always showcased the Buckaroos!!!
I was honored to work for Buck and his sons at his country radio station in Phoenix. The reason Nashville waited so long to induct him into the HOF is that he was a little "outspoken" against the industry. In the sixties the Nashville music community criticized the west coast--Bakersfield singers, including Merle Haggard as "Not being real country singers" if you don't live and work out of Nashville. They tried to diminish the accomplishments of the Bakersfield country singers. Buck did not like that and was at odds with the industry for many years. He felt they did things too drastically in Nashville. The industry was probably scared because of OWENS success. He was a shrewd businessman. Owned his own booking agency, recording studio and music publishing company (Blue Book Music) which in the 90's he sold to SONY music for millions of dollars. He owned real estate and 6 radio country stations. By 1996 Nashville realized they could not wait much longer to honor him, and he was inducted along with Ray Price and Patsy Montana ( A cowboys sweetheart) Old wounds were healing between him and the Nashville Industry. Buck Owens had 25 #1 country singles in his career and another 26 Top Ten hits from 1959 until 1988. Go visit his CRYSTAL PALACE nightclub and museum in Bakersfield. It is well worth it. He was more than just that guy on HEE HAW wearing backward bib overalls. He was also an accomplished studio musician at the CAPITOL records studios and backed up many stars on that label prior to his rise to stardom. He was that good. I was very honored to have worked for him.
@@jimwest6571 Thanks for sharing all of that. I've been to the Crystal Palace, but never to Nashville, even though I lived most of my life in the South. I rarely even think of Hee Haw when I think of Buck. What usually comes to mind is the him and the Buckaroos at their best in about 67, with those amazing outfits and sparkling Telecasters! Thanks again 🙏🏼
Funny, Buck took off his hat at the end to show that "he still had some hair". Poor Dwight dosen't have much hair left so he keeps his hat on. I went bald prematurely too, I love hats.
Those guitar LICKS are PURE Buck and Bakersfield. He started in the fifties as a self-taught guitarist with creative "Twisted notes" that were different and fresh. No wonder he was in demand in Hollywood at Capitol records as a studio musician before producer KEN NELSON offered him a recording contract. He later taught his guitar style to DON RICH. Damn, he made it all LOOK EASY. Just look how confident he was at his "pickin style," and high tenor vocals. Again, PURE Bakersfield Sound.
ken piper I thought that also, and he could be... But I have seen old photos with him and Don and they have exactly the same guitar... So I'm not sure... Not saying it isn't, just that I don't know...
@Josh Stocks Good call. Don's did have a maple fingerboard, and it also had a painted headstock that matched the color of the guitar body. The one Buck is playing here, must be Buck's own. In any event, it's not the one Don used to play.
@@johnstephen7610 Don wore the maple fretboard off the original neck and had a new neck with a rosewood fretboard put on it. Buck brought Don's tele on tour with him when he came out of retirement.
Was there some controversary about those sparkle Telecasters??? I thought that I read that Fender wanted them returned as they had been gifts. Does anybody know if that is true. Great solo. Merle said that Buck could pick as well as anybody....and he had Roy Nicholls in his band. All legends of the Bakersfieldsound!!
@chasingdabigones I thought the same thing, seeing Buck playing that silver sparkle Tele....but this has black body binding. Not certain Don's had this.....still a sweet-sounding guitar. I do know that he had Don's Tele present, along with his "old faithful" Tele and a red/white/blue sparkle Tele in a 60th Anniversary ad for Fender.
A lot of people don't know that Buck was an accomplished studio musician at CAPITOL RECORDS in Hollywood in the fifties and backed up many other established country stars before he hit it big by the early sixties. Seek out BUCKS POLKA and other instrumentals on RUclips. He could play a mean guitar with all of his creative twisted "riffs" that were quite "tasty." He was ahead of his time.
@bowslap Now I KNOW this isn't Don Rich's Tele...his is a maple-fretboard neck, whereas this has a rosewood fretboard. Had to check that old ad for clarification......LOL
Canceled his last appearance then ran into a family that had driven from far away to see him. Changed his mind and played for them that night then died after the show.
Buck's solo is one for the ages. I been playing' guitar for 55 yrs; the best solos are the ones that make you laugh out loud.
He can play one hell of a guitar!

I'm a rock and roll girl all the way but who doesn't love Buck Owens? Love this song!
Buck tearing it up on that Telecaster!
What a great performance by Buck Owens!
Buck Owens was a powerhouse unto himself!
Love that steel doing fill in and Buck on Don's tele.3 chords and the truth doesn't get any better than that.!🎸
I was a little kid when I first saw him on the Jimmy Dean show. At 71 I've been a lifelong fan.
Buck had an album in the 1970s called ‘The Guitar Player’ where he plays all of the instrumentals…He is a really good guitar player…
A true master of the Telecaster, phenomenal player Buck was.
Man I wish Buck was still alive!
Buck was great!!! Damn he was pickin too!! Love it!!!
Wow,! Good old rocking country music!
Wow, listen to those spot-on vocals. How many of today's manufactured country artists could manage that in a live setting? Very few, I'd imagine. It's nice to see Buck pick that solo too.
I guess it is quite off topic but does anybody know a good site to watch newly released series online?
@Jensen Byron flixportal
@Kylo Nikolai thank you, signed up and it seems like a nice service :) Appreciate it !
@Jensen Byron glad I could help xD
Buck Owens was the shit! Never missed that show from Bakersfield

Terry is a great steel guitarist. And lead player too
Embarrassing that they waited so long to put him in the HOF. Truly one of the top 5 country greats.

Country music's most influential artist after Hank Williams .
Love that Buck Owens
This is the REAL DEAL!! Thanks Buck!!!
Love ya, Buck. Wish you were still here.
Thats the guitar of Don he's playing on,his best friend .
Bud was never more the same after Don has gone i've heard.
It could be Don's Guitar... Buck also had one like Don's because I have seen footage of them both playing one that looked identical....
@@TheFarmerfitz
.
.
Q play more Brookline
@@TheFarmerfitz it isn’t don’s, don’s headstock had the sparkle finish along with the body, buck’s did not.
Best solo I ever heard from Buck.
He played the solo on the original recording by the writer (whose name I forget).
That solo is so freakin' good you can't do anything but laugh.
That was a flawless solo
Great, great Bakersfield solo. Buck was the real deal!
Terry Fell

New riders of the purple sage introduced to this song. Really solid cover by them
Saw them perform it live MANY years ago in concert - knocked it out of the park!
Man, pluck that telecaster. Great sound
Buck was so far ahead of his time!! I can't wait until we catch up with him!!
Great video!!
Are you saying you're looking forward to dieing ?

Buck once recorded rock and roll under name Corky Jones and never lost his feel for the music
My DADS theme song, thanks Buck!
A classic!
True Americana!
Amen!
ol' buckeroo
he's playing don riches old tele...wow

@@0401matthew Thanks Matthew, that 'splains it. Interesting history on that guitar.

Love it. .. But about the telecaster... They both had one... It could be Dons, or it could be his own....
❤❤ awesome ❤❤
Back when truck drivers had to shift transmissions - TWO of 'em!
Amen stubbleking!
I didn't know Buck could play the guitar. On Hee Haw, he poses with it and strums one chord on picking and grinning.
You need to find the video of him and Don Rich jammin' on 1 guitar they are both playing at the same time.
A lot of people don't know that Buck was an accomplished studio musician at CAPITOL RECORDS in Hollywood in the fifties and backed up many other established country stars before he hit it big by the early sixties.

It's Buck and Don Rich's fault I ever picked the dern thing up..lol..I loved them guys.
Awesome
@randytelecaster amen!
I like buck
Ohhhh yeah....
@bowslap Now I KNOW this isn't Don Rich's Tele...his is a maple-fretboard neck, whereas this has a rosewood fretboard.
Had to check that old ad for clarification......LOL
bowslap actually, Don's tele had the neck replaced to a rosewood neck
@ijosef damn right I agree!
MAKES THIS OLD TRUCKER WANT TO PUT IT IN THE BREEZE.
Think I used to see him on HEE HAW!!
Only Dallas Texas cowboys fans
Neons in the back should have said Sam's Place and not Rick's Bar
Notice how he switched it from Nickle to Quarter
the only thing wrong with the song is the man on the drums is on the symbols too much when the steel guitar is leading
nickel
Canceled his last appearance then ran into a family that had driven from far away to see him. Changed his mind and played for them that night then died after the show.
