Buck Owens and His Buckaroos on Country Social

[@josephcorcoran8714]

When I was learning to play guitar most of the guys my age wanted to sound like Eddie VanHalen. I wanted to play like Don Rich.

We are not even on the same planet anymore. What a better world it was then.

This kind of music and entertainment can never be replaced by what passes for country music today!

[@patriciajrs46]

Boy, you got that right!!!

[@zetmoon]

Or any other kind of music!

[@ztahs]

Thank the Lord for real country music and Nudie suits. This stuff can never be replaced.

[@Renee-n9y]

Real country singers with real talent. Fantastic Don Rich and Buck Owens😊😊

[@lonestarbug]

Precisely.

[@madelenejimstad5665]

Duane Holly did very well too, a rich baritone/bass.

[@lonestarbug]

@ Doyle Holly.

[@55intheValley]

Don Rich always seems to be thoroughly enjoying himself on anything I've ever seen.

[@seasoundstudio6129]

This transports me back to my childhood when I was carefree and country (American)music was a constant fixture in our home.

[@CapstoneTider]

The Bakersfield Sound. It's still as relevant today as it ever was. Great video!

[@jamieashby8810]

I never tire of seeing these old shows. Thank you so much for sharing all of these with us fans!!

[@artguti1551]

Their Live Playing is GREAT!!!

[@davehofmann8242]

this episode is GOLD! it reminds me why I do Country Bunker at all. it's because I feel in love with the Bakersfield Sound and became friends with Red Simpson and this music must live on in the streets, the taverns and be discovered by new generations

[@romeolakaymendoza7593]

Old song but goodies specially buckowens❤I love it.

[@emerald1805]

THANK YOU. Don Rich has always been my guitar hero. Thank You so much for this!

[@kawikakinipopo]

Thanks so much for posting this! Buck and the boys at their very best. Great to see Tom Brumley on the steel. Loved the old local TV and radio shows. Glad there are still some relics of the past out there.

[@RAZORMCHANK]

The entire show is remarkable. The production of the sound is incredible.

[@RetroRider6689]

Wow, this is amazing! 🎸

[@ronhiggins3296]

Real Country! A lost art! Thanx so much!

[@JOHNWLOUCKS]

Around this time, my brother was a new guitar player. Even though he went on to love so many rock bands and guitarists over the years, he would never miss a chance to see D.R. play. My brother's first electric guitar? A Telecaster of course.

[@ChrisBlaneyOfficial]

I fail to remember sometimes just how great Don Rich was as a guitar player and harmony singer. Total talent

[@medfordvictra9031]

Now that was music not like the trash today l wish Don got more recognition than he did he was really great

[@patriciajrs46]

I love this!!! My sweet Don is not afraid to belt out that great harmony. His telecaster, and his smile are wonderful!!!

[@Docsjeff]

He had a HUGE INFLUENCE on SOOOOO Many guitar players from Every Genre of music. I had a Teiecaster built for me just like Don’s Silver one.

[@emerald1805]

@@Docsjeff Totally right! I’m a heavy metal musician and he was a big influence on me.

Awesome Country Music ❤❤❤

[@annmcnana]

Wonderful, thank you for sharing, bringing back so many memories❤

[@benjohnson4810]

I knew i needed a Telecaster again after really getting into Buck and Don, about 5 or 6 years ago. Their music's been tremendous for my playing first of all and the telecaster sounds like what i've been going for all along.

[@cubuffdoc]

Don makes that Tele sing like no other.

[@benjohnson4810]

@@cubuffdoc His skill was very impressive. He could read music obviously and was a child prodigy violinist. A virtuoso and one of a kind.

Totally Unbelievable and priceless

Thank you for this gift !

[@collinrust2641]

The suits, the guitars and the talent are mind-blowing :)

[@benjohnson4810]

This is awesome. Thank you very much. I am a huge fan of this lineup and the musicians on the Buck Owens Show, too.

[@davidhayes2938]

Boy does this bring back memories!!! Nothing better out there!!!! Great footage, wish there was more on dvd!!!!!!

[@dado2_9293]

What a treat! A whole show from Buck and the boys with solos from everyone at such a pivotal point in time. It's a shame we don't have video from the Carnegie show, but this is like dress rehearsal for it given the set list and Buck still tinkering with the medley order. Thank you, thank you, thank you for what you're doing here.

[@MeneerHerculePoirot]

Wow, the Buckaroos really had it goin' on. What a gem this is. Thank you for posting it!

How about the growl of Don’s Tele on “Truck Drivin’ Man”? Those riffs totally propelled that whole song. WOW.

REAL country music! Not like today's "new country," crap!

[@Docsjeff]

Thank you so much for posting this.

[@jamiespaulding]

Absolutely awesome and I heard songs on this that I have not heard on the Ranch show including the medley that would later appear on the “Live from Carnagie Hall” album which is my favorite.

[@MesaholicTX]

Absolute Legends.

Dangerous Don Rich.

The late, great Don Rich.

[@MatthewBarelick]

What suits WHOA! 😂 Loved bucks music!

[@dgrossiter8610]

Theme song under the intro is Bud's Bounce (Bud Isaacs writer), of course Tom Brumley here on steel.

[@55intheValley]

You can see them do Bud's Bounce on The Jimmy Dean show here on KZbin.

[@donrichandthebuckaroos]

This is correct! There's also a performance of the full song in the middle of this video. Check it out!

[@jameshepburn4631]

Forest “Bud” Isaacs has a special place in country music. In the early 1950’s steel guitar players were starting to use pedals which had first been devised around 1947. Bud played some outstanding pedal steel on Webb Pierce’s 1954 “Slowly”. It was the first really featured pedal steel work with what would be considered the modern mainstream pedal steel sound. It inspired many non pedal steelers to rig up everything from chicken wire to brake pedals until instrument makers put out units for sale. Bud was a pioneer of what became one of the signature sounds of country music. The very talented Bud Isaacs passed away a few years ago, he was playing right to the end.

[@donrichandthebuckaroos]

@@jameshepburn4631 We LOVE Bud Isaacs. Thanks for sharing this information about him!

[@patriciajrs46]

​@@donrichandthebuckaroosIt sounds like Daddy's little fatty.

[@mtgreenwoodbustout]

I'm a big fan of Don Rich but I'll always refer to the band as Buck Owens and the Buckaroos regardless of Don's enormous contribution.

[@RetroRider6689]

This must have been the forerunner to the nationally syndicated Buck Owens Ranch Show which debuted in March 1966.

[@scoobydooofroblox2240]

Yeah because you can tell that this show and Buck’s show (the early shows more or less) used the same, audience applause sound effects which gives a hint to it, and the show was filmed on a “Mathis Brothers Color Production”

[@donrichandthebuckaroos]

This information is correct! The Mathis brothers (Bud and Don) sponsored the production of The Buck Owens Show just two months later.

[@scoobydooofroblox2240]

@@donrichandthebuckaroos I’ve always wanted to know and wondered where they got the source of the applause sound effects they used on those shows.

[@donrichandthebuckaroos]

@@scoobydooofroblox2240 Unfortunately that's one we don't have the answer to. Maybe someday we'll find out!

I sent you an email this morning, you may want to check your junk mail just in case. Your channel is awesome.

[@superfuzzymomma]

Fine, Fine band!

[@artguti1551]

Looks like Willie Cantu was doing a bit of Buddy Rich on those Drums!

[@myradioon]

They were going to NYC to play Carnegie Hall and I've heard Willie say in interviews he went straight to the Jazz Clubs to hear his idols.

[@rickcurtis2983]

I love these live performances...every member of this group is an incredible talent! I'd never seen this show...was it local before it evolved into the Buck Owens Ranch Show?...just curious, thanks!!

Yes.

[@clintesterbrook9833]

👏👏👏

[@FairDealDan]

I'm a rock guy, but I admit the country guys like this had the "flash" look long before Beatles and Bowie T Rex. I wonder if there is a direct connection....Did the Beatles see this look and get inspired before Sgt P? They covered Buck Owens on the Help soundtrack (Ringo sang Act Naturally) Isn't Mathis Bros furniture still in business?

[@bonneville0458]

Listen to Beatles for Sale. Definitely some Buck influence through out that album.

[@myradioon]

The Beatles were on the same label (Capitol Records) in the U.S as Buck Owens so they asked for advanced copies of all of Buck's records. John Lennon's right strumming hand and Buck's are very similar.

[@Julian2Sounds]

Don played a bum note on welfare line

[@benjohnson4810]

He would usually hit something that sounded a little bit off, at some point in a gig. That's what i love about it, personally.

[@thomaspick4123]

Buck was a smart businessman. He made a lot of money. Don and the steel player were superb. Too bad Buck paid the men who worked for him very little or not at all. So, I do not dig Buck so much anymore. Read the Buddy Emmons biography.

[@NAZPatriot01]

I miss good country music. I stopped listening to country radio in the late '90s when it went to hell in a hand basket. This garbage, every song sounds alike, crap today is nauseating.

[@dennislodermeier1741]

sorry, but medleys suck. they are a way of short changing an audience that wants to hear the old songs

[@bigd1345]

Doyle was lip syncing.

[@Po1itica11yNcorrect]

The songs were great, but the constant interruptions to plug Mathis Brothers Furniture Store were annoying.

[@deanlucas761]

Mathis Brothers were paying for it

[@Po1itica11yNcorrect]

@deanlucas761 I get it. But it was a bit over the top to plug it between every song. Maybe between every 3rd song or so.

[@lonestarbug]

Wow! Superb!
