		Buck\'s exposure in Bakersfield led to some session work for Capitol Records, beginning with Tommy Collins\' 1954 hit "You Better Not Do That." During all of this, Buck and Bonnie grew apart and divorced in 1953; they remained friends and shared custody of their children.
		Owens was out of public view for the early and mid-\'80s, which is when a new generation of country singers was developing.
		Owens didn\'t record or perform frequently in the \'90s, but his classic Capitol recordings began to appear on compact disc; they hadn\'t been in print since 1980, when he gained control of the tapes from Capitol.

		Owens also brought attention to the Bakersfield, Calif., country music scene and stirred up the country music charts at a time when heavily produced, orchestrated pop-country dominated the radio.
		Though a musical superstar, Owens was also a keen businessman, maintaining complete control of his publishing rights and master tapes, forming his own booking agency, building a recording studio, and purchasing several country radio stations.
		By the end of the 1960s, Owens' string of 20-plus No. 1 hits was finally broken, though he remained enormously popular among both country fans and also some rock fans, who admired his electrified sound and individuality.

		In 1951 Buck and his new wife, Bonnie Owens, moved to Bakersfield, California, where Dust Bowl refugees had ended their trip west in fertile farm fields and the burgeoning oil industry.
		Their partnership was crucial in Buck’s career, and Rich stayed with Owens as musician, guitarist, and leader of Buck’s band, the Buckaroos, until his death in 1974.

		Buck Owens was a great live performer and a skilled singles artist, although not necessarily a great album artist.
		This was high-intensity working-class dance hall music, honed and polished by Owens and his Buckaroos in hundreds of performances in the hardcore honky-tonks of the Bakersfield area.
		Unrestricted by Nashville's feudal system, Owens usually recorded at Capitol in Los Angeles with his road band, which was mostly prohibited by Nashville's ruling producers, and the sound was close to his vibrant live performances.

	Clint Black to re-open Buck Owens' club the Crystal Palace
		The Bakersfield, Cal. club is a popular landmark for music fans, and the last venue that the venerable Buck Owens performed in prior to his death last weekend.
		As the years went by, whenever anyone wanted to cite names that typified the 'country sound,' Buck Owens was sure to be included on a very short list of greats.
		In the Eighties, with his classic records out-of-print, Owens was either a national joke or a forgotten man. Then, Dwight Yoakam came along to make Bakersfield music fashionable again and even brought Owens back briefly to the top of the charts in 1988.

		Buck Owens died today in Bakersfield, California at age 76.
		Owens worked like a dog to earn the "overnight" success he enjoyed in his 30s, beginning with "Act Naturally" in 1963.
		John Fogerty put "listening to Buck Owens" among the pastoral fantasies he dreamed of "Looking Out My Back Door." In 1968 Owens famously played two sold-out shows at the Fillmore West, becoming perhaps the least hip artist ever to tear down that particular house.

	Buck Owens & His Buckaroos - The Instrumental Hits of Buck Owens & His Buckaroos \| HTZ FM
		When originally issued in July of 1965, no one either noticed or cared that in reality The Instrumental Hits was actually a compilation of tracks already available on early Buck Owens and His Buckaroos albums (except for the band's signature song "Buckaroo," which is unique to this package).
		Note: This title should not be confused with The Buck Owens Songbook, another all-instrumental album comparable to a karaoke (read: sans lead vocals) "greatest hits" package.
		Owens -- who is most notable as a lead vocalist -- is highlighted on this release as one heck of an underrated instrumentalist.

	Fender Players Club - Buck Owens
		The backbone of the "Bakersfield Sound," Buck Owens was a rootsy antidote to the slick Nashville sound of the 1960s in which the good old bite of guitars often took a back seat to strings and overproduction.
		With his band the Buckaroos and his trusty right-hand man, guitar slinger Don Rich, Buck Owens carved a unique niche in country music that would later provide inspiration and a foundation for country music’s return to the basics in the 1980s.
		Buck was elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1996.

		More precisely Buck Owens and Merle Haggard may come to mind (as just occurred while I was talking to a client in New Mexico this week).
		Much thanks to Buck Owens for having the sign saved and brought to his Crystal Palace where it was reconstructed and refurbished for all to enjoy.

	Remembering Buck Owens \| Buck Owens \| Tribute \| Music \| Entertainment Weekly
		Owens played the club nearly every Friday and Saturday night, but he hadn't been feeling up to it, and was headed for the car to go home...
		That headline should say, 'Music Legend Buck Owens Dies.''' Owens himself had mixed feelings about the show — positive enough to have stuck with it for 17 years, obviously, but negative enough to have later admitted, ''I just kinda prostituted myself for their money.
		It's for this stripped-down sound and eagerness to rock the honky-tonks that Owens is venerated not only by oldsters who knew him as a star for a decade prior to Hee Haw, but also by younger generations of fans who never had a chance to have their first exposure tainted by the TV tomfoolery.

		Buck Owens is and was country music at it's finest.
		You want to talk about 2-part harmonies, Buck and his friend Don Rich (lead guitarist, fiddle, and accompanying vocals) had a chemistry when it came to their Bakersfield sound.
		Then came Dwight Yoakum who brought Buck out of semi-retirement and started a Buck Owens renewal of his career with the Streets Of Bakersfield, a song that couldn't have said it better about Buck and the whole Bakersfield sound.

	I've Got a Tiger by the Tail: Reviews, Discography, Audio Clips, and more \|\|\| Music.com
		Buck Owens had his share of country hits prior to the release of I've Got a Tiger by the Tail and the hit single that spawned it.
		But "I've Got a Tiger by the Tail" was Owens' national breakthrough, featuring everything right about his Bakersfield honky tonk sound sweated down to a 2:12 single that proved to be a irresistible piece of crossover magic to non-country fans without diluting his basic sound one iota.
		This 14-track CD reissue brings together the original Capitol tracks from that album (which also included the hit "Cryin' Time," later to be a crossover hit of its own when recorded by Ray Charles), along with two bonus tracks.
