I'm glad they did tbh as my dad started singing along and when I asked how he knew he reminded me of my grandad's love of country western and he used to play this one alot
I was born in 1977' .. Mexican American born in Chicago Illinois and i just wanted to say this song strikes a chord in my soul and I sing it out loud with joy and sometimes cry when I hear it.
Took my son to see Buck at the Crystal Palace in Bakersfield a month or so before Buck passed on. To say Buck was a "Hometown Hero" would be the understatement of the century.
I was there also about a month before his passing and I was driving past Bakersfield listening to his funeral service on the radio. He was a great performer and I still listen to his music daily
Craig Dias don't torture yourself defining country music by what's on the radio. country is alive and well, but it's not on preprogrammed, corporate radio. we've got 5 or six gigantic companies that own most of the stations in this country, and when they find a reliable formula they roll it out everywhere, coast to coast and they go looking for the right sort of artists that can feed them the reliably listenable pop schlock they need to fuel their FM monster... yeah, the radio is mind-numbing nitrous, but you bypass that now. we are on the interwebs right now. we have the buttons and AOL free trials, Je suis la tondeuse à gazon, Vous êtes le tondeuse à gazon.
i played in a band with Willi Cantu and Buck came and played with us a couple of times. Buck sat with his arm around my shoulders in a booth at Denny's and stole my french fries
A station break in the country station in Grand Theft Auto V (aptly called "Rebel Radio") described today's excuse for country music perfectly: "frat-boy country." Leave it to R* to hit the nail on the head like that!
What is there not to like about Buck Owens. He was a great entertainer and a great singer. I love the man and his music. He is a legend of country music and I recognize his excellence. Hee Haw was a great show and wish it was still on tv.
Don Rich from Olympia WA! Don originally was a fiddle player and Buck taught him on the electric guitar. A very talented guitar player and vocalist! Buck and Don, the best Country harmonies ever! RIP Boy's.
it is great, clean, crisp! I love it, it is a great example of that "Bakersfield Sound", when Buck and Merle Haggard loaded up with that awesome Telecaster twang and took Nashville by storm!
I grew up listening to this music, but it's so cool that new media (Fallout) is bringing this music to more and more people. Good old Bakersfield sound is what more people need these days.
Yeah buck owens is perfect if you're not familiar or don't like much country music!! OvO plus his voice is one of a kind ovo it's easy for the ears ⭐️v⭐️
I'm a 60-year-old from West Texas (now living in Oregon). Country music has never been my scene, but my father loved all that stuff, and this fellow in particular. We'd all sit around and watch TV in the evenings, and if there wasn't anything on that we all wanted to watch, then he'd break out his old Gibson and entertain us. He liked to (try! :D) to play songs by The Buckeroos, Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Hang Williams, Roy Orbison, and many others. Those were turbulent times in my life, but I remember the good times too.
Wow, incredible vocal harmonies and understated guitar playing! That guy in the blue suit is killing it, but he's so casual about it you almost don't notice what he's doing the whole time. Excellent!
@@j.p.fitting9226 Yes, indeed. Buck was so heartbroken by Don Rich's untimely death that, yes, he went into semi-retirement until Dwight Yoakam lured him out of it in 1988 for a version of "Streets of Bakersfield."
A #1 hit for Buck Owens on the Country & Western charts. It was the 66th #1 C&W hit of the Rock Era. Growing up, Hee Haw was one on of my favorite shows. Our family would draw names at Christmas and one year, my cousin drew my name and gave me The Buck Owens Show: Live in Vegas LP. I still have it. It's hard to believe that he's no longer with us. To you C&W artists of today: Remember who set the table for you.
Loved Hee Haw! It was often on in my house as well, and I think it sowed the seeds for my love of bluegrass music later in life. I remember being wowed by Buck and Roy Clark on that show as a kid. (Edited for typo correction).
Sadly,when I was a kid, I only knew Buck as that guy from "Hee Haw" Only shortly after he left us, did I realize what a true force he was in country music. I love this early stuff.
i watched buck owen's show back when i was a kid in the 60's. i remember being fascinated watching them play the guitars. it really amazed me. i grew up as a teenager in the 70's, when rush, boston, all the classic rock stuff came out. i became a rock and r&b fan. still am...but i always hark back to my childhood when i hear a buck owens tune. it sounds like home somehow. R.I.P. buck.
Loved Buck and Don together. Those outfits? Just the times...remember when country singers like Porter Wagner and others all dressed in western attire?
I would have to say that seeing Don Rich play on this Buck Owen's Ranch House Show, was what "spiked" my interest to learn and play guitar. Still playing, but not near as smooth as ole Don. RIP Brother.
countryboy66 Well said. I so agree. This is a great piece of history we're able to see. I'm thankful for the upload and to TH-cam for making this possible. Been to Bakersfield to see Buck Owen's Crystal Palace. Oh my, no words will describe it all. Love it there. Make it a yearly trip now. :) Thanks DDD
Ole buck brought country music back from that ballad country slow songs you couldn't dance to Buck and Don got on stage and tore it up songs you could dance to.We need that to happen today there are people out there that can sing genuine country music and there is sure an audience
When Don first joined The Buckaroos he was a fiddle player and back up rythym guitarist. Buck taught him how to play lead and "Act Naturally" was the first song Don played lead on. (1963).
I love these guys, just look at the love between Buck and Don these guys died and went to heaven long before they actually did!!! Nobody has more fun than these two!!
According to the Arts-and-Croissants crowd, we are probably the deplorables for liking and enjoying this music and these performances. I mean, how dare we. right? Really, I can only speak for myself(although I feel like I've found fellowship here, or at least like minds), but if it means being a proud fan of classic country music in general, and Buck Owens & The Buckaroos in particular, then feel free to call me a deplorable(lol). I'll wear that label with pride. 😀
I was born in 66, & as I grew up I remember listening buck,(with others) play on the radio. Hey, anyone remember the radio?oh, let's not 4get Bob wills & hank Williams SR.&dolly & Patsy.well let's never 4get the greats, they will B with us allways. Code 4.
Beautiful voice! That's what I miss. Theses strong, distinctive voices like Buck's. Seeing him live in Reno was one of the treats of my childhood. Didn't know who he was, but as soon as he started singing, I, along with everyone else, started having a real good time. The voice, the personality, the smile! What a joy to watch this clip and remember. Thanks so much, DangerousDon for sharing.
Damn I love this song!! This version especially. Man, I love The Beatles version but Buck Owens and Don Rich make this version that much better. Gotta love the Buckaroos!! RIP Buck Owens and Don Rich.
Inmy lifetime ive seen all the great music come to life. Country rock blues you name it. Thank you God Thank you Jesus. For my life and simple pleasures
Fallout brought me here and I can't help but gleefully smile at the fact that the artists are dressed in yellow and blue. How serendipitous
And if you look at the grainy footage parts the guy in the blue almost looks like Walton Goggins 😂
I'm glad they did tbh as my dad started singing along and when I asked how he knew he reminded me of my grandad's love of country western and he used to play this one alot
Fallout is great, but this has been in my library for years. Definitely go down this rabbit hole.
I have known this song for years, but watching the Fallout series made me revisit it, and learn the long for guitar.
The Beatles also did a great cover
I was born in 1977' .. Mexican American born in Chicago Illinois and i just wanted to say this song strikes a chord in my soul and I sing it out loud with joy and sometimes cry when I hear it.
I understand that totally. And Don Rich, the absolute finest guitar picker, that too many people have never heard of.
Gotta dig that Bakersfield Sound
So your a wet back or an American witch one you can't be both !
That's no cause for concern brother, I also share these expressions of happiness when I listen to songs that I love all my life.....!
The King of Bakersfield!!!
I just never get tired of watching Buck and Don perform together ...
Amen brother!!
i don't listen to country music anymore but i can listen to Buck Owens all day!!
Me too
Great!
The timing between Buck and Don is the best I've ever heard and a seen to this day. Those 2 never missed.
Took my son to see Buck at the Crystal Palace in Bakersfield a month or so before Buck passed on. To say Buck was a "Hometown Hero" would be the understatement of the century.
I was there also about a month before his passing and I was driving past Bakersfield listening to his funeral service on the radio. He was a great performer and I still listen to his music daily
Wish you were here Buck to fix this mess we call country music.

bigoldinosaur 🎖
I second that.
I wasn't born until the 70s, don't consider myself a country music fan, yet this is one of my favorite songs of all time.
Right? That's true art.
Im proud to say their from my home Bakersfield love em
Buck and Don really were like one person when they sang together. *NOBODY* harmonized better than these two.
It was sad that Don Rich died .... and Buck felt the joy out of performing was gone.
@@patricias5122 So true. Buck said he only ever had that magic with one other person , and that was Dwight Yoakum . Love them together as well!
Everly Brothers.
Louvin Brothers
Just a masterpiece of work. God bless Buck Owens the man from Bakersfield.
Sucks being young. Couldn't have gotten to experience a good country singer! But his and many other country singers songs will live on!
Yes!
@@lonestarbug all we have is their music!
@@charityproctor627 True, madam. Thank you for having a great taste in music.
@@lonestarbug to you as well!
@@charityproctor627 My greetings to you from Texas.
i played in a band with Willi Cantu and Buck came and played with us a couple of times. Buck sat with his arm around my shoulders in a booth at Denny's and stole my french fries
well all you had to do was act naturally
Ray Holland That's awesome.
Lucky bastard 😂
I'm 14 but I love Buck and Merle
Was Willie still with Jenetta Jones?
I know this will sound weird.....but what did buck smell like?
I'm 42 yrs old, born in the beautiful United States of America and am proud of my Mexican heritage..this music touches my soul.
Alfredo I'm glad to call you a fellow American.
@@johnavery2786 me too!
Don harmonizing with Buck. Beautiful. What memories listening as a kid, my Dad and favorite uncle loved these guys.
And Don Rich's amazing guitar work ..... this is good as it gets. There you go, kids. Perfection.
Don unsung Hero
I always loved Buck and his unique voice with that little swallowing sound in it. Where the hell is this kind of REAL country music today?
and my oldest brother
hence me by default
Back when I was a young Punk, all of my hardcore Punk friends loved Buck Owens
It was bought up by the record labels, and packaged for mass consumption with a bunch of pretty faces.
A station break in the country station in Grand Theft Auto V (aptly called "Rebel Radio") described today's excuse for country music perfectly: "frat-boy country." Leave it to R* to hit the nail on the head like that!
It's gone. And who dubbed you Gina the Great?
Buck Owens,Don Rich, Doyle Holley, Willie Cantu, and Tom Brumley...the 5 men who got me playing country music for 25 years...the greatest!
Doyle Holley died in a motorcycle accident. I cried!!
Don Rich died in the accident sweetie...I remember when it happened...really sad.
My god it doesn’t get any better than Don Rich. Man what a legend.
Don Rich! The Buckaroos: Phrasing, accents, dynamics...music!
Like I said Buck and Don peas and Carrots. Nuff said
Just saw Ringo Starr perform this yesterday at the Chicago Theatre! Great song! R.I.P Buck! He and Buck Owens sang this together back in 1989!
Ringo's cool
Beautiful telecaster, and what a great band. I am not the biggest country fan, but Buck Owens has a special place in my heart, just pure magic.
Don Rich would have been 80 years old today. Happy Birthday and Rest in Peace, Master of the Telecaster.
What is there not to like about Buck Owens. He was a great entertainer and a great singer. I love the man and his music. He is a legend of country music and I recognize his excellence. Hee Haw was a great show and wish it was still on tv.
Right on Randy.
Hee Haw is still showing on RFD-TV, if you get that.
you can order it from I offer I think it $25 I just got the tv show Banacheck
Damn, Buck and all The Buckaroos are looking cool. Putting the performers today to shame. These boys could kick it live in concert.

Don Rich from Olympia WA! Don originally was a fiddle player and Buck taught him on the electric guitar. A very talented guitar player and vocalist! Buck and Don, the best Country harmonies ever! RIP Boy's.
Don Bucks right hand man they were a team
When Don Passed I think it really hurt Buck saw a video not long ago he was singing a song him and Don used to do ears in his eyes Sad
Tears sorry
They harmonized like Siamese twins. Love the Nudie suits!😀
Real country music by real entertainers.
Wish they were still here!
Dear sweet Lord most high, please bless me with that Don Rich sound, amen.
Get you a Telecaster with a Fender Twin Reverb. That's all Don Rich used.
Thank u fallout
1:15 one of the best short guitar solo's ever!
it is great, clean, crisp! I love it, it is a great example of that "Bakersfield Sound", when Buck and Merle Haggard loaded up with that awesome Telecaster twang and took Nashville by storm!
I don't think I've ever seen a gold guitar before. I love it :)!!!!!!
Yep
Don Rich was so good!
Just me or was it missing ONE extra note.. like jeopardy without the "bum. bum."
R.I.P. Buck Owens passed away on this date; March 25th, 2006 at the age of 76...
May he R.I.P.
I grew up listening to this music, but it's so cool that new media (Fallout) is bringing this music to more and more people. Good old Bakersfield sound is what more people need these days.
this is my first time listening to country music and I tell toi this is fine as hell
Yeah buck owens is perfect if you're not familiar or don't like much country music!! OvO plus his voice is one of a kind ovo it's easy for the ears ⭐️v⭐️
Hey All anybody real miss real music that was called Country! These guys and ladies were Awesome!
Grew up with this song, it still hits the same decades later

Quintessential country 👌🏽 Nothing manufactured just raw talent.A country song that is timeless.⭐️
Wow, incredible vocal harmonies and understated guitar playing! That guy in the blue suit is killing it, but he's so casual about it you almost don't notice what he's doing the whole time. Excellent!
Yeah when Don Rich wrecked his bike and died ,shattered Buck..he retired for number of yrs i guess until Dwight Yoakum coaxed him back
@@j.p.fitting9226 Yes, indeed. Buck was so heartbroken by Don Rich's untimely death that, yes, he went into semi-retirement until Dwight Yoakam lured him out of it in 1988 for a version of "Streets of Bakersfield."
@@j.p.fitting9226 true story
Don Rich. Utterly brilliant, and he had a great ear for tone. Which is huge.
@@johnr.8275 And he seemed such a kind and humble man, too. Rest in power, Don Rich.

The absolute acme of country music, after Hank Williams sr. How sad that Don Rich left us so early!
One of the best country classics ever!!! It's 2022 and idk how old it is,but probly around 50 years old Great singing,great picking
Can't go wrong with Buck Owens!
Sadly,when I was a kid, I only knew Buck as that guy from "Hee Haw"
Only shortly after he left us, did I realize what a true force he was in country music.
I love this early stuff.
Same here.
Me three.
Knew him before then Dad watched the Buck Owen's show
Was about 8 when he got started 1964 daddy had a 50 ford
Back when times were good
Buck Owens is alive in our hearts and his country music
i watched buck owen's show back when i was a kid in the 60's. i remember being fascinated watching them play the guitars. it really amazed me. i grew up as a teenager in the 70's, when rush, boston, all the classic rock stuff came out. i became a rock and r&b fan. still am...but i always hark back to my childhood when i hear a buck owens tune. it sounds like home somehow. R.I.P. buck.
You’ll never see this kind of craftsmanship ever again
Precisely.
My husband loves this song he agrees to he said old music is the best he hates today country music he loves buck owen music
There are a lot of people that agree with your hysband
Loved Buck and Don together. Those outfits? Just the times...remember when country singers like Porter Wagner and others all dressed in western attire?
Nudie suits!!
Tyler Thomerson I actually had a Nudie's suit many years ago.
Marty Stuart and his Fabulous Superlatives wear Nudie's suits, too. They're carrying on the tradition🙂
like the sayin' goes, I left to make it in Nashville and ended up working the sequin mines...
The song's lyrics are enormously entertaining and clever. Starts off with the fantasy of many and quickly turns into sadness.
Buck wouldnt have gotten as far without Don Rich's amazing back up harmonizing.
In his book Buck said he offered Don more of the limelight but Don refused.
Don said he was happy with what he was doing
What lovely old days, so innocent, pure clean fun filled lives we lived, love listening to Buck and all others of that generation.
Great Band, ALL really good players,Don Rich being the Stand Out.
I would have to say that seeing Don Rich play on this Buck Owen's Ranch House Show, was what "spiked" my interest to learn and play guitar. Still playing, but not near as smooth as ole Don. RIP Brother.

love old man buck he was my dads age when he passed away 76 was my daddy age too rip buck@daddy
Always liked Buck since I was 8
buck and don were a great team,will miss them so much
When Don first joined The Buckaroos he was a fiddle player and back up rythym guitarist. Buck taught him how to play lead and "Act Naturally" was the first song Don played lead on. (1963).
This is an overdub from the Carnegie Hall album. Actually, pretty well done.
buck owens was a good singer love this song
I love these guys, just look at the love between Buck and Don these guys died and went to heaven long before they actually did!!! Nobody has more fun than these two!!
That strat would make an excellent fishing lure! It took a real man to play that guitar!

28 people have no clue about country music. Buck Owens rules!
I believe in my heart those 28 people will one day wake up.
Now 82 deploreables
156 now

How could anyone not like Buck? You don't even need to be a fan of country music to see his greatness.
What a legend Buck is, none of the new "country" singers will go down like Buck, Hank, Johnny, Randy, George etc. have.
The guy in the blue is straight killing it. Can you imagine this guy and Randy Rhoads or Clapton jamming out! I would give anything to see that.
Buck and Don rocked the place together Buck was never the same after Don died that's how close those guys were.
My father in law had a commercial with this song of his transmission shop in eight mile Michigan.
Buck Owens is great!
well da
I was born in 66, & as I grew up I remember listening buck,(with others) play on the radio. Hey, anyone remember the radio?oh, let's not 4get Bob wills & hank Williams SR.&dolly & Patsy.well let's never 4get the greats, they will B with us allways. Code 4.
Been listening to Buck for years. It takes a popular steaming show for all to recognize how great Buck is. 🤠
Beautiful voice! That's what I miss. Theses strong, distinctive voices like Buck's. Seeing him live in Reno was one of the treats of my childhood. Didn't know who he was, but as soon as he started singing, I, along with everyone else, started having a real good time. The voice, the personality, the smile! What a joy to watch this clip and remember. Thanks so much, DangerousDon for sharing.
Buck Owens had a unique style and timing. I love Don Rich’s back up vocals and guitar
Don Rich,my favorite
Don and Buck had a great sound together
Wow can't get any more country than that
The music reached all the way to Liverpool! WOW!
Damn I love this song!! This version especially. Man, I love The Beatles version but Buck Owens and Don Rich make this version that much better. Gotta love the Buckaroos!! RIP Buck Owens and Don Rich.
greatest song ever and I learned it at age 3. I can remember. red, white, and blue guitar. Mom cheering me on!
Pure classic ! Gotta love it !!!!
If they think u are coming when the lights goout they prob were already there before they said that
Just heard this song for the first time today. I love it!
Buck defines real country. He was the best.
Buck is the all time BOSS of the Bakersfield sound.
buck owens was the first music I remember ever hearing. What a great performer he was!
Losing Don Rich ---- Buck was never the same after that. They were a great pair.
Inmy lifetime ive seen all the great music come to life. Country rock blues you name it. Thank you God Thank you Jesus. For my life and simple pleasures
Get Sum !! Thank you Buck Owens and The Buckarooos!!!
You just can't help listening to this good old music.
Ayee Willie Cantu is still kicking and playing in Nashville! Jam with him every other week
Great, good time country music. Simple and yet very distinctive. Nobody else but Buck Owens.
This is EPIC....the Carnegie hall concert is the greatest live album ever....for sure!
It's definitely up there with the greatest all-time live albums. Myself, I can't pick just one! But Carnegie Hall is fantastic, raw and authentic.
My favorite version of one of my favorite songs!
Don Rich's harmonizing and lead guitar always stole the show for me.
This brings back so much memories.
the sky is falling dont go outside if udo wear a mask
I remember this song and Buck owens from my early childhood. Looks like this is my theme song and I love his singing too.
Act Naturally yes is one of my favourites, thanks Buck and your boys.
wish we could go back in time aND STAY
2,3,4..... lol! Love it!
Such a great song! I crave it on a monthly basis😍.
Buck Owens always puts me in a grinning mood! Thanks for posting :)
I'm not a big country guy but I love this song and the harmony of Buck Owens and Don Rich is masterful plus Don Rich guitar playing💯💯👍
