Buck Owens is a true legend
in country music. Along with fellow performers
Merle Haggard and Wynn Stewart, Buck helped
popularize the Bakersfield Sound, or honky-tonk
infused with electric instrumentation and rock
influences.
•
•
Growing up in Arizona, Buck
picked cotton and learned to play the mandolin, the
guitar and horns. He had his first radio program at
age 16 and a year later, worked with the Mac's
Skillet Lickers, whose lead singer was Bonnie
Campbell. Bonnie soon became the first Mrs. Buck
Owens; together, they had a son, Buddy. Buck and
his young family moved to Bakersfield, California,
in the early 1950s, where he worked as a session
guitarist and played for a band called the Orange
Blossom Playboys.
•
•
After a few years of
recording rockabilly songs (as "Corky Jones"), Buck
signed a contract with Capitol Records in 1957. His
first recordings floundered, and it wasn't until
the spring of 1959 when he hit with "Second
Fiddle."
•
•
That song only reached No.
24 on Billboard magazine's country singles chart,
but it was the follow-up, "Under Your Spell Again"
(which reached No. 4 in the fall of 1959) that
Buck's future in country music was assured--and was
it ever. After several top-five songs that flirted
with the No. 1 spot (among them, "Above and
Beyond," "Under the Influence of Love" and "Foolin'
Around"), he finally hit the top of the charts in
June 1963 with "Act Naturally."
•
•
That song's four-week stay
at No. 1 paled in comparison, though, to his
incredible 16-week stay that fall with "Love's
Gonna Live Here." Eighteen more No. 1 hits, all in
the Bakersfield tradition, followed during the next
nine years. Many of them featured Buck's chief
guitarist, right-hand man and close confidant, Don
Rich. Together, Owens and Rich (the leader of
Buck's backing band, the Buckaroos) polished their
sound, which graced AM radio throughout the 1960s
and early 1970s.
•
•
Buck parlayed his
popularity on two country music TV shows: the
syndicated "Buck Owens Ranch Show" and CBS' (and
later syndicated) Hee Haw. Through it all, he was
an astute businessman, keeping control of his
publishing rights and master tapes, purchasing
several radio stations and forming a booking agency
among them. He also recorded a live album in 1969
in London. Then, in 1974, Rich was killed in a
motorcycle accident and Buck's life faltered. He
recorded for Warner Bros. for a time in the mid- to
late-1970s, but only one song, 1979's "Play
Together Again, Again" (a duet with Emmylou Harris)
was a substantial hit.
•
•
Then, in 1988, he found
renewed popularity when new country star Dwight
Yoakam (whose own Bakersfield Sound was strongly
influenced by Owens) asked him to duet on "Streets
of Bakersfield," which soared to No. 1. He still
performs occasional shows at his Crystal Palace,
and was inducted into the Country Music Hall of
Fame in 1996. Buck Owens remains one of country
music's most respected (if not underrated) legends.
