♥_♥

[CoalDog93]

[triarius]

Great stuff!

[sscarzz]

Vato at bar surprised me too!

[marinessgt1971]

show me the boots dwight!!! ...haha!!

[katie8753]

That Doyle. HA HA

[jerdeb4evr]

I remember when Buck Owens and Tanya Tucker got married. It lasted as long as a night.

[trentholt]

ah ha

[Hallvard69]

Fantastic duo! :)

[zandygrl2u2]

The more I listen to country, the more I am liking it. There's a latin sound that I am familiar with... the accordian. Nice mix.

[CocacolaCowboy1919]

@zandygrl2u2 This is known as the "Bakersfield Sound" in Country Music.

[ohhellnoyoudidnt]

@CocacolaCowboy1919

dont you mean the bakersfield beat

[CocacolaCowboy1919]

@ohhellnoyoudidnt No, I meant what I said. The "Bakersfield Sound". Look it up.

[krammit69]

@CocacolaCowboy1919 You're absolutely right CocacolaCowby The Bakersfield sound was a genre of country music developed in the mid- to late 1950s in and around Bakersfield, California Bakersfield country was a reaction against the slickly produced, string orchestra-laden Nashville sound, which was becoming popular in the late 1950s. Buck Owens and the Buckaroos and Merle Haggard and the Strangers are the most successful artists of the original Bakersfield sound era.[1]

[ttekomoutds]

how many of you sit and judge the dislikes (besides me)? 8D

[Mr420ways]

punk rocks origins!!!

[rforthman1]

Iv been walkin the streets of Bakersfield my whole life, can i judge him yet?

[Krazyfoo420]

Mike Gantong was here

[jerdeb4evr]

Buck Owens, man that takes me back. Dwight Yoakam and Buck Owens. As good as good as it gets.

[rgarcia77]

Dwight Yakam, Buck Owens and Flaco Jimenez, the awesome trio.

[MrBadpuppydog]

Amazing country song folks.

[stevessn]

Isn't that Flaco Jimenez on accordion? Whoever is playing on this song are really good musicians. Thank you for givin' us the chance to listen to this great duet.

[sara1929]

Okay, yes, white men love Latinas!!

[Valens52]

Dwight knows how to deliver with a punch.. its no surprise before he made it big he was playing for punk rockers in los angeles. it kicks like a mual.

[ronnogold]

Buck was an under estimated songwriter and musician. A true talent and a really good man as well.

[dturner5923]

Excellent tune ..wish Dwight and Buck would have done more , I gre up listening to Buck ... playing his tunes on stage and grew to Like Dwight that we also did his tunes on stage ,, I imitated Dwight .. but only vocally .. that spin around sent me falling lol

[mrfalafl]

how the hell do you get in (and out) of those jeans? They'd be tight as hell even around Elmo's tiny ass...

[ajessicacompany]

Too bad they didn't show some actual sights of Bakersfield in the video. Buck Owens never had a daughter. The girl in the video appears to be a hispanic Bakersfield resident, not his daughter. Owens had two sons with his first wife: Alan Edgar “Buddy” Owens, a country singer himself who used the stage name Buddy Alan, and Michael Lynn Owens; and one son with his second wife: Johnny Dale Owens.

[jjandkj6567]

AWESOME AUDIO !!!!!!!!!!

[punin10dead]

Sounds a lot like Tex-Mex.

[TexasBeaner214]

@punin10dead its not Tex-Mex its Tejano/Texas Country

[1964superdave]

Dwight always rocks... and Buck's a classic... This is what country is all about, not sure about this new stuff.

[jimrobo4467]

Buck and Dwight two kings of country

[TheRedneck1979]

@jimrobo4467 garth brooks and johnny cash are the kings of country

[jimrobo4467]

@TheRedneck1979 Johnny most certainly. Garth is good, just not one of my favs

[berkster19]

Nashville has turned into trashville and we need someone to bring back the Bakersfield Sound!

[cptsquish]

$15 bucks for a Buck Owens watch....... Sweet. Oh and his old house key?? WTF??

[chrisandbecsblog]

I am serious Dylan fan, but when I heard Dwight things changed, my kids are indoctrinated, but happily.No country stations on the radio so sad

[mrfalafl]

No matter how old Dwight Yoakam gets, he still looks like a charming 17 year old

[MiscellaneousRowdy]

The little girl in the red that hands Buck the guitar is actually his daughter.

[krammit69]

@MiscellaneousRowdy Interesting, I didn't know that thanks for the input.

[ganthonyvr]

@krammit69 who's daughter buck's?? she looks mexican lol she dont look white at all

[krammit69]

@ganthonyvr somebody posted on here that it was his daughter but I'm not sure wikipedia doesn't say anything about him having a half mexican daughter. Not saying he doesn't just saying I don't know.

[sara1929]

HELLO, she probably is, white men LOVE Mexican women!!

[ganthonyvr]

@sara1929 HELLO, u mean white men love latinas not just mexicans

[joseywhales1998]

@sara1929 This is one white guy who does! been married 30 yrs to a cute litte senorita, from Chichihualco, Gro. Mexico

[killerbee2k]

@sara1929 for good reason ;) latin women ftw

[CocacolaCowboy1919]

@ganthonyvr Have you ever seen a real Mexican girl before? That girl looked caucasian to me, just a little tan. Get out of the basement lol.

[ryannath2003]

@CocacolaCowboy1919 The girl looks Mexican to me, or at last half. By the way, there are Caucasian Mexicans as well. Even black and Asian Mexicans.

[CocacolaCowboy1919]

@ryannath2003 Yes Mexican is a nationality not a race, so how can someone look Mexican? You arguing with yourself?

[ryannath2003]

@CocacolaCowboy1919 Yes I suppose I was. What I should have said is the girl looks indigenous Mexican. Anyway, you know what I meant.

[CocacolaCowboy1919]

@ryannath2003 Yes I know what you meant, and that is why I replied...then YOU flipped it around. Now back to the original discussion, I see "Regular white non- indigenous" girls like that all the time. Not every "regular non indigenous white persons" are pale and blonde. She looks like a "regular non indegenous white" girl that happens to be a little tan with brown hair.

[4665aj]

@ganthonyvr that is not his daughter My dad use to work on his property as a security guard he was a real nice person and a very down home person and He never spoke of his daughter just his son

[krammit69]

@4665aj Thanks for clearing that up I never heard of Buck Owens having a daughter either. That's pretty cool that your dad worked for him.

[uskauboj]

@MiscellaneousRowdy Wrong

[CNSBecca]

@MiscellaneousRowdy No, that little girl is not Buck's daughter, she's actually related to one of the storefront owners...lol

[yazziesan]

Two Originals!!!

[chilcootfox]

NOBODY can wear jeans like Dwight Yoakam ....

[VelvetCyberpunk]

I am proud to say that I have walked the streets of Bakersfield. I love this song and I adore Buck Owens and Dwight Yoakam.

[DarkIntensity615]

NO IDEA whats with the 3 thumbs down they must have NO taste

[demontone]

is that a country midget at the start..lmao

[TheOriginalShredneck]

@demontone for the first time in my life I can write 'lol' and mean it! HAHAHAHAHA

[nigbot1]

[nigbot1]

aint no difference between 240p and 720p lmfao

[krammit69]

@nigbot1 try wearing 3D glasses. lol

[nicoleakalilqueenie]

I think you did a damn fine job of matchin' it up Krammit...if that ONE person doesn't like it...tell him to CRAM IT!

[BigAssMealNight]

What the hell, crap video and the audio doesn't even synch with the video. This is garbage. SLAM.

[krammit69]

@BigAssMealNight ok I'll give you your money back crybaby. haha

[BigAssMealNight]

@krammit69 Airplane tickets are good enough payment. Thanks.

[krammit69]

@BigAssMealNight no problem thank you so much for your input asshole!

[DetroitSquirreL]

@BigAssMealNight the video that i found of this had real bad audio...at least its not the song with the album cover only!

[niterider460]

I .LIKE THIS SONG BUT, THERE AINT DIDDLY SQUAT IN BAKERSFIELD

[dercarsus]

Brilliant love his voice

[teletekman]

3 people must have gotten pulled over on the streets of Bakersfield.

[FlamesSuck44]

So, is the audio new or just improved? I seem to remember this song sounding pretty much the same when it came out... Haha. ;)

[krammit69]

@FlamesSuck44 actually I copied the video from someone else (don't even remember who it was now) the audio was terrible so I replaced it with an mp3 file I had downloaded. The only problem was getting the video in sync with the music it's not perfect but close enough for youtube. I'm really surprised no one has slammed me for that yet. Maybe that's what the 2 thumbs down are for. haha

[HugeDeal]

Anyone else feel the need to hang the one dislike guy? :) String em' UP!

[krammit69]

@HugeDeal Like in the old western days GIT A ROPE TEX!!!!

[peterbiltroy]

I've walked the streets of Buckersfield!

[gqtexan]

@peterbiltroy Wished I could be there right now!

[DzzzzzNuts]

[edgardesouza27]

A class act!

[mystery654321]

At exactly 1:03 he shows off his hardcore shuffling skills!

[angryronikisses]

Just watched this video and wow, I was 6 years old again dancing to this in front of my television set in Texas. I live for these old country songs! It's like traveling back in time for me. <3

[hotdogs62]

I am from Bakersfield and i absolutely love Buck Owens and Dwight Yoakam 

[calstategop]

SHOUT OUT FOR BAKERSFIELD FROM SANTA BARBARA!

I do enjoy SB and the coast but Bakersfield is a great city! California's best kept secret!

[TIJUANA818]

@calstategop why?

[calstategop]

@TIJUANA818 Its probably the last place in my state that has jobs and affordable housing. Then again parts of fresno and tulare county do to.

[ninjakore2]

RIP Buck Owens.

Born and raised in Bakersfield, CA!

[TIJUANA818]

@ninjakore2 sorry about that

[JordyPants1994]

Truly some of the best work ever from the country and western genre. It is such a rarity these days to hear a true Country song. Not popular amongst my friends, but hey, at 16 and in England, what can you expect? LONG LIVE COUNTRY AND WESTERN!

[SuperAcab666]

True legends both of them

R.I.P Buck

Cheers from Denmark

[krammit69]

@SuperAcab666 Glad to hear that you appreciate good country music. Thank you for your comment all the way from Denmark!

[SuperAcab666]

@krammit69 You´re so welcome:-DDD I´m a huge fan of both of them, and I have the CD Dwight sings Buck, and other CD´s with Dwight Yoakam and Buck Owens:-D I really like that Bakersfield sound, Tom Brumley was an awesome Steeel player among others:-D I really wish Dwight Yoakam would come to Denmark:-D

Cheers to you from Denmark:-DDDDDDDDD

[gqtexan]

@SuperAcab666 Nice to see fans so far away. This is truly great American music!

[SuperAcab666]

@gqtexan Thank you, and you´re so right there, it´s sad Buck is gone:-/

Greets from Denmark:-D

[Nynorskmannen]

dwight jokkom is fæg

[mstyhbl11]

looks girlie to me pepperwhite62

[206WarEagle]

Can someone tell me what the heck happened to the Ernest Tubbs, Freddie Fenders, Conway Twitties, Charlie Prides, Louvin bros. and the rest? I guess they are still the ledgends and giants of this art form, but they aints -a-gettin played on todays "modern country hit" stations. Those stations should all go out of biz. Like tomorrow.

[legalrule]

Country!!!!!

[rockerthefelipe]

ILOVE IT

IT TRUE ABOUT LIFE

[beadsandbraids]

I love this song and this video that they showed on TV at the time it came out.

I only wish someone on Youtube wouldve captured the very end of it. The part where Dwight and Buck are sitting on the cadillac with longhorn horns on the front.. In LA, I lived near the western clothing store, in which, that car was always parked out front. Dwight and Buck--Just great ! Thanks for posting this.

[mstyhbl11]

how does he look so good in tight jeans and a girls belt ? lol he makes it work

[PepperWhite62]

@mstyhbl11 Since when is a concho belt a girls belt?

[juliaslepak]

My husbands favorite song in CZ

[jordanapril16]

only one dislike so you suck and this song kicks ass

[jordanapril16]

really only one dislike well you suck and this song kicks ass

[krammit69]

damn had this video on here for almost a year with no dislikes.  Oh well 137 to 1 you're outnumbered and wrong.

[westwoodea]

@krammit69 they must have had a problem with mouse

[notmattman]

@krammit69 I agree he is out numberd and wrong very wrong

[addcensus]

Dwight and Buck, the music lives on!

[TrudieVessot427]

Grab the audio from this tune at searchripgrab doht cohm.

[jamesskb]

Doyle!! Doyle!!!! Doyle Hargraves!!!! That you?

[79wylie]

im not a big country fan to say the least but in the 90s when music started going downhill fast and still is i turned to country and dwights music among other artist in country filled the void of good music now dwight is coming to rockband game only thing it seems like that game always add the worse songs of any artist still a plus might download it and i agree even country today has lost its vibe

[TheHeavy666Metal]

I'm a Die-Hard metal head but I love Dwight Yoakam's music. They need to get rid of the bullshit country scene that is going on right now and bring some artists similar to this and willy nelson, mearl haggard, hank williams, buck owens, george jones, marty robbins, some good ol fuckin western and southern music.

[j48135]

your an idiot times change country is no longer similar to rancheras or southeren that the biggest flaw in your comment this isnt even southeren its az mex country south western if you dont like it than shove it up your ass

[krammit69]

@j48135 I don't care about whatever it is you're arguing about but since this is my video I have to note that you called someone an idiot but your 3 line comment has 3 misspelled words and several punctuation errors. There is a difference between your and you're. Please educate yourself before posting on one of my videos again.

[TheHeavy666Metal]

@j48135 I'm from Az and my mom is a mexican you fucking ignorant deusch. last time i checked Mex and AZ were in the south. and I wasn't just talking about this particular song asshole, because not all of dwight and buck's music sounds like this dumbfuck. you were probably listening to taylor swift when you replied because you are a whining bitch like her and ALL OF THE MODERN PUSSY ASS COUNTRY MUSIC SCENE. shove that up your ass along with your keith urban replica dildo.

[Marydawgs]

@TheHeavy666Metal I love Dwight & Flaco and Buck.But I like the current country bands too.I like Kenny Chesney & Lady Antebellum,Sugarland,Toby Keith.All the guys you mentioned too.

[TheHeavy666Metal]

@Marydawgs Thats cool. To be honest I've said some fucked up things about the modern country scene, and while I still stand by those comments, I guess I should try to be tolerant of others tastes in music. My big argument is that modern country can almost not be considered country but rather be called Pop-Music. It seems to bend to whatever the trend is in america and i hate that. Metal bands are just as guilty of that as any other band. I just think the songwriting in country is dead.

[goldmetaldood]

@TheHeavy666Metal  agreed!

[legalrule]

@TheHeavy666Metal

Right on brother!!!

[john9944]

@TheHeavy666Metal A-Men

[llensart]

@TheHeavy666Metal In total agreement with , enough with the crap country music that is being played now days .

[belledimerarp81]

@TheHeavy666Metal I so agree, I miss the good old country music.

[TheOriginalShredneck]

@TheHeavy666Metal you and me both brother!!! it seems like the the younger generation who love REAL country are rock/metal guys, we like what's real and brother this is it!

[hammeron39]

@TheHeavy666Metal yeh , . . check my open playlist , some country , some rock, . . .

[Musicman14231]

@TheHeavy666Metal : I couldn't have said it better myself!!!! :-)

[jimrobo4467]

@TheHeavy666Metal I agree 100% when I only listened to metal Dwight was the only country I would listen to

[jltardiff]

Guys like Dwight and Chris Isaac really are timeless musicians who love and respect the guys who broke ground for them. Buck Owens for Dwight and Roy Orbison for Chris. All of these guys have made my life so great with the music they have done. God Bless them all. We miss yas Buck and Roy, Live long and healthy Dwight and Chris!

[BareNakedBather]

@jltardiff very much in agreement.....not a country fan but this is traditionalism whereas you don't hear it anymore and Chris, all I have to say is that he is a good friend and have seen more than enough over the years and still enjoy what he does

[Sunshinesusie316]

I love this vid its awesome

[kevduck1]

god bless buck owens

[joesitter20101]

It is pretty cool to know that these two, super talented gents are (were) not racist. Our visitors here in the Arizona desert sure aren't looking for an easy life. To hear the news today, you might think all Arizonans are racist but the Norteno culture makes us feel right at home.

[onehalfnative]

I was living in Bakersfield not far from his saloon, The Crystal Palace, when Ol' Buck passed over. I heard about it on the radio.

Now Buck's son and Dwight co- own the Palace. I never had the chance to visit the palace while I was there. Th...ey had/have live radio broadcast on a nightly bases from there for the Bakersfield areas. Not sure if they still do

[airborne022]

the most recognized part is thee two of them walking down the street with the gutiars....priceless music

[noriohaya]

What's unique about this song is the background use of Norteno-style accordion, together with the fiddle. It fits Bakerfield perfect! Countless number of Bakersfield folks attended Buck Owen's funeral there.

[Rains211]

LOVE! 

[cp4150]

Awsome video...

[exnavygirl1975]

this song brings back memories of my best friend that would have been 29 today and grew up in bakersfield.

[SEMICRAZY78]

This came on the radio when I was going down 99 on Wed :)

[captainarchernx01]

One with good sound! Thanks Krammit69!

[sanantoniomimi]

YES, THANK YOU FOR THE SOUND!

[sanantoniomimi]

he's in san anto tonight!

THE BEST SHOWMAN

[rolyathp]

COOL!

[Thefordtruckman1]

Great Video!

[malberts1954]

Sounds so good. Thanks for posting this.

[beaut67flowers]

Sounds fantastic and so much fun, fun, fun to watch!!! Thanks for sharing!
