comment
Alvis Edgar "Buck" Owens Jr. (August 12, 1929 – March 25, 2006) was an American Country Music singer and songwriter. Owens was a pioneer of the "Bakersfield sound", an electric guitar-driven Three Chords and the Truth style, often relying on his band, the Buckaroos. The "Bakersfield sound" was later seen in artists like Merle Haggard (who later married Owens' ex-wife, Bonnie Campbell) and Dwight Yoakam. Frequent collaborators included Susan Raye, Rose Maddox, and son Buddy Alan.Owens was also the host of the long-running country music comedy show Hee Haw. Lesser known but having a cult following was Owens' previous series, "The Ranch," which ran from 1966-1973, the last four of which ran concurrently with Hee Haw.

Spiritual Successor: Dwight Yoakam, to Don Rich. He helped restore Buck to his old vitality and self, and gave him renewed purpose.

comment
Bland-Name Product: His 1977 single "The World Famous Holiday Inn" had to be pulled and re-recorded as "The World Famous Paradise Inn" when radio stations who had rival hotel chains like Ramada Inn as advertising clients refused to play the song (which is kind of funny since the song, about a guy living in a hotel after his wife kicked him out, doesn't exactly paint Holiday Inn in a favorable light).

comment
Re-release the Song: In 1989, he re-recorded "Act Naturally" as a duet with Ringo Starr, followed immediately by a re-recording of his 1965 hit "Gonna Have Love". Around that time he also did a new version of his early Rockabilly tune "Hot Dog".

Christmas Songs: He released two full-length Christmas albums, in 1965 and 1968. "Santa Looked a Lot Like Daddy", from the former, is one of the most recognizable and most covered in the genre.

Five Stages of Grief
 Buck Owens (Music) / int_c7e7529c
comment
Five Stages of Grief: Don Rich was the man that helped Buck perfect his trademark Bakersfield Sound and served as the leader of the Buckaroos, which backed Buck throughout his career. He was Buck's best friend. On July 17, 1974, Don lost his life in a motorcycle accident ... and Buck's life changed for many years. For almost a decade, Buck was stuck in the first stage — deep, deep denial — and it barely got to the third (anger and deep depression). It very nearly destroyed his career ... Buck seemed content with his other close friend, Roy Clark, doing Hee Haw while recording music that was anything but the country music fans knew him for. Buck eventually recovered from his grief when Dwight Yoakam came along, but things were never the same for the originator of the Bakersfield Sound.
