Buck Owens

Alvis Edgar "Buck" Owens, born on 12 August 1929 in Sherman, Texas, was one of the greatest country stars of the 1960s and the guiding spirit of the so-called Bakersfield Sound. He started out as a guitarist and mandolin player in Arizona bands and moved in 1951 to Bakersfield, California, where he played in Bill Woods's band and became a sought-after session musician for stars such as Wanda Jackson, Sonny James and Faron Young.

Owens signed with Capitol in 1957, and two years later came his first hit, Second Fiddle, soon followed by Under Your Spell Again. With his band the Buckaroos — above all his kindred spirit Don Rich — he forged a hard, electric twang that deliberately challenged the smooth Nashville of the day. Act Naturally became his first number one in 1963, followed by sixteen chart-topping country singles, many of them consecutive.

In Bakersfield, Owens built his own small empire, complete with a recording studio and a lucrative publishing business; Ray Charles turned his ballad Cryin' Time into a pop hit. From 1969 he co-hosted the popular TV show Hee Haw alongside Roy Clark, which made him a household name. His influence reached far beyond his own career — Merle Haggard's rise proved the power of the Bakersfield Sound.

By the mid-1970s the run of hits had tailed off, and the early death of Don Rich in 1974 hit Owens hard. A move to Warner Brothers never recaptured the old heights. Over the years his duet partners included Rose Maddox, Susan Raye, Emmylou Harris and his son Buddy Alan. Buck Owens died in 2006, but his sound still shapes country music today.
