closet Buck Owens fans
It seems to me we have some closet Buck Owens fans here in the forum. POORME currently has the following words in his signature:
Weeeeeeeelllllllll, I don't care if the sun don't shine I don't care if the bells don't chime Just as long as you love meeeee! taken from Buck's 1964 hit I DON'T CARE and someone, I can't remember who, had the words to Buck's 1963 hit ACT NATURALLY in their signature Well come out of the closet - stand up for something worthwhile the recorded musical legacy of the one and only Alvis Edgar "Buck" Owens

I LOVE Buck Owens!! (that was me with Act Naturally in my sig)
To me, he is what country music is all about. I was raised on stuff like Buck, Conway, Jim Reeves,etc. I have tried to share his music with friends, but they only like Made in Japan or Together Again. I was glad to see Dwight Yoakam pay homage to him...maybe it gave him a few new fans. It's all about the twang  |

Buck rocks.
I play hard country covers in my current band and want to do "Excuse Me".... The Bakersfield Sound......sweet. We'll have to make a pilgrimage to his club sometime. Oh yeah.....I saw him a couple of years ago at the Santa Monica Pier......He covered " Play That Funky Music White Boy"...... Surreal... Oh Yeah again!! Country like The Bakersfield Sound is more punk than punk rock in my opinion. Last edited by spitball : 10-09-2002 at 12:52 AM. |

He must think that's "Country" because he always said he'd never play a song that wasn't "Country" and then explained away his version of "Johnny B. Goode" (which rocks by the way...)
Is that available somewhere, Spit? That'd definitely be worth a listen! |

Maybe one of the writers at work has a copy. There's a particular writer who's specialty is real country and R and B. He's heard Owens do it at his club. His drummer sings it and Buck kind of shimmies around and sings the chorus. |

Actually Chuck Berry was simply a country artist who happened to be black. Ernest Tubb did a good version of "30 Days" and innumerable country acts played Chuck Berry's songs in their live sets

Any song sung by Buck Owens was country. It may not have started that way, but coming out of his mouth it became about as country as you kin git.

I'm not a closet Buck Owens fan, I'm a flaming Buck Owens fan.
 What a voice! (although my voice might sound good if I recorded two vocal tracks and put them on top of eachother). |

Actually it was Buck Owens (single track) with Don Rich singing the tenor harmony

Johnny B. Goode was originally issued on BUCK OWENS IN LONDON, a live album issued in 1969. I was in that audience - perhaps the best live show I've ever seen. The song is also in the boxed set issued a few years ago and perhaps on one of the various hits collections issued by Curb or Rhino
