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
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
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 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
I grew up in Nashville. This is what I watched before Sat morning cartoons in the 70s. Reruns of all sorts. I know all of these tunes as if it were in my DNA.
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.
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.
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'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.
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!
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 saw Buck in 1964 Illinois State Fair when his song first hit the charts.... Roy Clark in as single act at the time playing his Quitar. Sonny james and the Country Gentlman. Johnny Cash, Little Jimmy Dicken and many others... What a Show...
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
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
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 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.
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.
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. 😀
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).
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!!
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 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.
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.
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."
I have pics of this NUDIE suit from the Crystal Palace in Bakersfield. Saw the Buckaroos play this there too. I covered this song on my latest album ( 3 years ago) One of the best country songs ever! - Kitchen Dick Jones.
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.
Back in the mid-sixties, the Beatles were asked what they would like to do later in their careers. Two or three of them said they would like to be able to sing country music. This is from one of their interviews.
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 don't listen to country music anymore but i can listen to Buck Owens all day!!
Me too
Great!
👍
I just never get tired of watching Buck and Don perform together ...
Amen brother!!
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
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 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.
The timing between Buck and Don is the best I've ever heard and a seen to this day. Those 2 never missed.
Im proud to say their from my home Bakersfield love em
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?
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
I grew up in Nashville. This is what I watched before Sat morning cartoons in the 70s. Reruns of all sorts.
I know all of these tunes as if it were in my DNA.
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!
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 and Don rocked the place together Buck was never the same after Don died that's how close those guys were.
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.
Don Rich! The Buckaroos: Phrasing, accents, dynamics...music!
Like I said Buck and Don peas and Carrots. Nuff said
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
Just a masterpiece of work. God bless Buck Owens the man from Bakersfield.
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.
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.
Hey All anybody real miss real music that was called Country! These guys and ladies were Awesome!
Real country music by real entertainers.
Wish they were still here!
Who’s here watching this masterpiece after watching Fallout episode 3?
Me!
Me too
My god it doesn’t get any better than Don Rich. Man what a legend.
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!😀
Thank u fallout
Don Rich would have been 80 years old today. Happy Birthday and Rest in Peace, Master of the Telecaster.
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
Damn, Buck and all The Buckaroos are looking cool. Putting the performers today to shame. These boys could kick it live in concert.
th-cam.com/video/6H_CF1IKCN8/w-d-xo.html
And Don Rich's amazing guitar work ..... this is good as it gets. There you go, kids. Perfection.
Don unsung Hero
Don harmonizing with Buck. Beautiful. What memories listening as a kid, my Dad and favorite uncle loved these guys.
Buck was REAL This opened up with darkness, then the lights came on. Today country music is in darkness that no flood lights can fix.
Wish you were here Buck to fix this mess we call country music.

I second that.
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
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

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.
The absolute acme of country music, after Hank Williams sr. How sad that Don Rich left us so early!
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.
love old man buck he was my dads age when he passed away 76 was my daddy age too rip buck@daddy
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⭐️

Quintessential country 👌🏽 Nothing manufactured just raw talent.A country song that is timeless.⭐️
My father in law had a commercial with this song of his transmission shop in eight mile Michigan.

Buck Owens is alive in our hearts and his country music
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!
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 music reached all the way to Liverpool! WOW!
Grew up with this song, it still hits the same decades later
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.
Buck defines real country. He was the best.
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.
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.
You’ll never see this kind of craftsmanship ever again

What a legend Buck is, none of the new "country" singers will go down like Buck, Hank, Johnny, Randy, George etc. have.
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
Buck Owens had a unique style and timing. I love Don Rich’s back up vocals and guitar
Don Rich with Buck Owens is one of the great duos in music history, period.
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!!
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).
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.
Wow can't get any more country than that
buck owens was a good singer love this song
What lovely old days, so innocent, pure clean fun filled lives we lived, love listening to Buck and all others of that generation.
Buck Owens is great!
well da

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.
I was born in1961 and started acting in tv in 1963 I remember this song well in 66
The song's lyrics are enormously entertaining and clever. Starts off with the fantasy of many and quickly turns into sadness.
Don Rich,my favorite
Don and Buck had a great sound together
I have pics of this NUDIE suit from the Crystal Palace in Bakersfield. Saw the Buckaroos play this there too. I covered this song on my latest album ( 3 years ago) One of the best country songs ever! - Kitchen Dick Jones.

Ayee Willie Cantu is still kicking and playing in Nashville! Jam with him every other week
24 years old and I know what country is 🍻
Losing Don Rich ---- Buck was never the same after that. They were a great pair.
Great, good time country music. Simple and yet very distinctive. Nobody else but Buck Owens.
Pure classic ! Gotta love it !!!!
If they think u are coming when the lights goout they prob were already there before they said that
now THAT was real country music!!!!
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💯💯👍
Get Sum !! Thank you Buck Owens and The Buckarooos!!!
This is an overdub from the Carnegie Hall album. Actually, pretty well done.
Terrific performances 😅😊❤❤❤
California Country the best man~Buck was fantastic!
greatest song ever and I learned it at age 3. I can remember. red, white, and blue guitar. Mom cheering me on!
Wonderful wonderful music!
there is still good country music out here.
Miss watching Hee Haww with my gram and grampa. Wish I could go back.
Just heard this song for the first time today. I love it!
We loved watching the show, i come from a family of musicians
Been listening to Buck for years. It takes a popular steaming show for all to recognize how great Buck is. 🤠
Here i am wishing i lived in this era.. 😭
This brings back so much memories.
the sky is falling dont go outside if udo wear a mask
