Amazing.....I was fortunate enough to see Buck a few times in Bakersfield before he died. Even after a stroke he was a great showman. Thanks for posting this!
I heard somewhere that Buck played guitar for Gene Vincent at one point, later on in the 50s or early 60s. I've also got a Tommy Collins best-of that has guitar credits for Roy Nichols, Joe Maphis, Ferlin Husky, Don Rich but mainly Buck.
It is really good to have a video of Buck Picking the old Silver Speckle Telecaster. It goes to show what an amazing musician Buck Owens truly was. This video shows the true magic of what great musicianship really sounds like, and not only that he looks like he was having fun, and that in the end is what playing music is all about.
As a citizen of the UK, I am amazed to read comments from Americans who had no idea that Buck was an accomplished guitarist or that he played this himself!
The album mentioned was "Buck Owens -- guitar player" and featured all Buck on lead. He was the lead guitarist for Tommy Collins before starting his own career. And the tejano influence here is obvious.
Not many people realize that Buck could really pick a guitar. And that Don Rich started out playing the fiddle! They were great!!!:) Thanks for posting this!
Yeeehaw!!! Thank you for posting this beauty! This little ditty blends West Texas rock with New Mexico style Marchas to create something pretty...I'm in heaven
Merle Haggard said it himself that some of the hottest Lead Guitar came from Buck Owens in Bakersfield in the Mid to Late 50s.
