[bullethead93]

Once again Buck ,Don and the Buckaroos outdid thereselves

[Vendingguy1961]

Amazing Don Rich!  Not only could he play well but a good harmony/backup singer also! He originally was a fiddle player, then took up guitar when started with Buck, so I have read. Would be nice to be that talented! Don and a couple others kind of started the old tele sound in country it seems. I know there were others to.

[COUSINJODY]

DON RICH WHAT CAN I SAY THAT AINT BEEN SAID A THOUSAND TIMES. THIS IS COUNTRY MUSIC FOLKS. MARTY STEWART OWNS DONS TELECASTER NOW BUT HE CANT MAKE IT SOUND LIKE DANGEROUS DON.

My Dad played back up for Buck in the studio in the early days. I wish he'd of stayed with Buck, but his band thought Buck wouldn't amount to much. Boy were they wrong.. guess who's band didn't amount to much..

[musiccalgary]

@edcrabb Your dad didn't play for Buck. Cut the horseshit...

[edcrabb]

@musiccalgary I'm sorry I didn't know you knew my father. Oh thats right you didn't cause if you had you would have known he did in fact play for Buck. Sorry you have a problem with that.

[musiccalgary]

@edcrabb Right, and I'm calling you a liar. Sorry you have a problem with that.

[edcrabb]

@musiccalgary I'm glad you are so all knowing and I guess I should be in awe that you can see back through time... what an amazing gift. To bad your a jerk, and out of your mind. Some people should be drowned at birth .. your parents were those people. have a nice life JERK!

[Quackcephus]

There'll never be another Don & Buck... best combo ever!!!

[CoolLikePenguinNuts]

You damn right it is Buck! GET EM TIGER!!!

[MultiBaldEagle]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but after Don died, didn't Buck use Don'e Telecaster in his future shows?

[moproducer]

@MultiBaldEagle Shortly before Rich died, he stopped endorsing Fender. Fender wanted to loan the guitars to him and cycle them for new instruments after a period of time. Rich didn't like it, and started playing a Gibson L5S-Custom solid body.

Years later, after Owens started performing again, he used a custom-built red-white-and-blue signature Telecaster. Although he once sat for a portrait holding one of Rich's Teles, he seldom played it onstage.

[MultiBaldEagle]

@moproducer ....Thank's for the info.....I remember seeing Buck on Austin City Limits with Dwight Yokam, and he was playing a Telecaster that looked very similar (if not identical) to the one Don has in this video. I knew that he and Don were very close and after Don died, Buck kinda went into a downward spiral and started drinking real heavy. I thought it might've been Don's guitar he was using but I see what you mean

[moproducer]

@MultiBaldEagle I misspoke about Don's Gibson; it was a Les Paul Recording model; similar in appearance to an L5S with the same impedance pickups available in the early 70s.

[MultiBaldEagle]

@moproducer ....haha...thanx....I love talking guitars....I can't play worth a shit anymore but I still love talking about em!

[danpolicarpo]

wow this is in stereo! thanks

[funnylittlelion]

Buck, it's been almost five years since you left us, and the world's just not the same without you. RIP to you and Don.

[ChinaCat34]

The Beatles and the Stones ripped the two-part harmony and took all the credit. The Beatles couldn't even play a decent "live" show....

[DougPinson]

Amazing live performance! Love it.

[mwindle1973]

My favorite Nudie suit was the one he designed for Gram Parsons. It featured pills, poppies, marijuana leaves, naked woman, and a huge cross on the back. Although I like the Porter Wagoner suits too.

[AlyzabethMitchell]

Love that!

[oysterjoe]

I dress like this every day.

[mwindle1973]

The outfits are Nudie suits. He was a custom designer in Hollywood who began by doing costumes for westerns. He & Manuel his employee designed most of the country stars outfits at the time. Other genres too. Usually in the 50's, 60's, or 70's if you see a performer with beaded, sequined or otherwise outlandish yet awesome design it was probably a Nudie or Manuel design. Elvis, Liberace & Porter Wagoners wagon wheel suits were all designed by them.

[xciteful]

@mwindle1973 Hey mwindle wasn't his shop over on Riverside Dr. in the Valley?

[mwindle1973]

@xciteful Sorry to take 3 mths to respond.Had to research this one a little. Keep in mind I'm from OH so I don't know the geography of CA.But I'm assuming you mean the San Fernando Valley. It was in the valley but not on Riverside.Was located on Lankershim Blvd.Nudie designed cars for Elvis, Webb Pierce and others as well.They were called Nudie mobiles. THe Pontiac Granville convertible that hangs above the bar at Buck Owen's Crystal Palace in Bakersfield was a Nudie mobile designed for Elvis.

[Waymore15]

@mwindle1973

Contrary to popular belief, those were not Nudie suits, Buck didn't want to pay the price they were set at, so he found someone else who made them like Nudie, but at a lower price.

[mwindle1973]

@Waymore15 What you are saying is very true. But if my understanding is correct (isn't always!) the suits in this video are Nudie's. These are the only Nudie's the Buckaroos ever had. I've read that Buck had 3 Nudie's total. But you make a totally valid point. I have also read that almost all of Buck's suits were done in the Nudie style by a great but much cheaper designer. Then he would have an even cheaper one create the Buckaroos suits based of the one he had made.

[manny5442]

Is there a video somewhere of "Cryin' Time"?

[ruben1million]

This song is a total hit! Outta the park. And the suits are awesome. I bet Lady gaga wished she could come up with costumes like these. Hey Paul, go back to listening justin bieber.

[78Revolutions]

I was totally fooled until i read the description. Very cool. Man I love Don Rich!

[Barcslay]

buck is killer

[PaulUmbarger]

This song just makes me picture some older farmer riding a tractor out across his fields wit this on the radio. No really, I'm not slagging it or anything. It's not my kind of music but, to each their own. That said, dig those outfits! DAMN!

[tommylord]

This shows how polished they were, the concert audio perfectly matching the TV performance.

Thanks for taking the time to edit this together. My favorite Buckaroos song.

[LoadInHer]

Thank you Thank you Thank you

for this sweet music and video. All the "experts" post all their opinions and I too know a little, like that Buck found Don as a fiddle player and taught him to play lead to free Buck up to front the group. Blah blah blah, all that means nothing.

I just love to watch them play and hear them sing.

Wouldn't mind the Fender franchise either.....

[lukeabout]

Thank you so much for this historic archival music video!
