Buck Owens And His Buckaroos

Buck Owens and His Buckaroos were a pioneering force in country music, especially known for shaping the Bakersfield Sound—a raw, electrified alternative to the more polished Nashville style of the time. Led by singer, songwriter, and guitarist Buck Owens, the band rose to prominence in the 1960s with a string of hit singles that blended twangy Telecaster guitar riffs, tight harmonies, and honky-tonk rhythms. Classics like "Act Naturally," "Together Again," and "I've Got a Tiger by the Tail" helped define not just their sound, but an entire era of country music.

The Buckaroos featured some top-tier talent over the years, including legendary pedal steel player Tom Brumley and guitarist Don Rich, whose harmonies and lead guitar work were central to the group’s signature style. Beyond the charts, Buck Owens and His Buckaroos had a huge cultural impact, with Buck himself co-hosting the long-running TV show Hee Haw. Their influence is still felt today, having paved the way for a more rock-influenced, hard-edged kind of country.
