Don Rich does an outstanding job playing lead guitar with blues lick after blues lick to complement the lyrics. He doesn't drown out Buck's voice but his guitar playing is simple solid and superb. If I could go back in time, I'd make Don Rich sell his damned motorcycle and ride in a GMC pickup truck or Cadillac limousine forever. What a tragic loss for country music and this nation when Don Rich was taken from us so young. He was a musical genius.
I’m glad you were thinking the same thing Rex. Damn tragedy that Don was taken to soon. Guys like Don and Maury Muehleisen, sadly died at the age of 24, the talent they had in such young years of their lives is too incredible to put into words. This song hit number one in 1962, becoming Bucks first number one single. Don would’ve been 21 then.
I'm sure today's kids don't appreciate old country but listen up, THIS is talent! Effortlessly performed without any auto tune or lip syncing. So glad Buck and Don shared their talents with us and the world.
Don Rich is one of the greatest musicians ever.And one of the sweetest.There will never be anyone to compare to him and Buck,and that great Bakersfield sound.I miss them terribly.♥️
@@patricias5122 I read that after Don Rich died, Buck Owens said he almost quit performing it tore him up so much. I hope they're performing together in eternity. ❤
@@PFB1994 I'm 65 years old and Buck and Don were not even on my radar when I was growing up 'cause I'm a blues and rock guy. But Don's playing gave me whiplash!!! How did I miss this?
It was said that the buckaroos were named the perfect band it was also said that when the went to the studio to record a song or album it only took one time no do overs or overdubs or anything. Don rich on that telecaster man he knew how to make that thing talk
Diamond Rio was the same way. They didn’t use studio musicians then learn the parts, they recorded their own music. They almost always sounded just like the records in concert.
Their call Nudie's. Check out Nudie's of Nashville. He clothed all of the great country stars back then. The Flying Burrito Brothers were the last ones I recall who wore them. They are stunning.
Oh my gosh! How is it possible to get all this talent in this room? They play so casual, sing amazing, while enjoying themselves. Don Rich was such an amazing guitarist. I miss these times!
He was a "REAL MAN NATURALLY"Did I say how handsome he was and a BEAST on that guitar.Y'all can tell by now I'm a country music purist and will not settle for less. RIP to both Buck and Don. AMERICANA! along with all the greats. Boxcar Willy Grorge Jones Hank Williams Johnny Cash Waylon Jennings Willy Nelson Johnny Paycheck Bill Anderson Marty Robbins Merle Haggard Charlie Pride someone add to this list my memories are getting to me .I'm going walk my little dog and get some air.
Don Rich was a fellow Washingtonian! I was but a lad when I first heard Buck Owens and his sound stayed with me for a long time. Then I figured it out: this guy from Olympia was the catalyst for the whole band. No wonder Buck was so hot on the charts. Then that awful day in June 1974 happened and the sound of Don Rich and The Buckaroos changed forever. I was happy to have Expo ‘74 to distract me from Don’s death. But like Buck himself, the light went out as far as listening to Buck’s records. Thank God for Dwight Yoakum in redirecting the Desire for Buck Owens. It was like I was discovering him for the first time again. I acquired the Rhino Buck box and then went on a record roundup. Somehow I managed to get the whole catalog on vinyl and with the exception of two albums, had them all within two years. Those two hard to find albums were gotten by the end of 1993 so I had everything including the eight Buckaroos albums. When I was able to, I rolled all of them into the computer and made CD-R discs from them. Of course, I also acquired the Sundazed reissue CDs and have marveled at how great 50+ years old LPs sound when professionally mastered. I’m getting the last of the catalog tomorrow. Omnivore Recordings secured the rights to the later material and I’m hoping they’ll go after the Buckaroos catalog too. But though recordings are the way to enjoy the sound of Buck and the boys, let’s not forget that they were on the road taking that sound to us all. I got to see Buck at his last show in Seattle back in 1993 and even though he’d been ailing with cancer, he gave us his all. Still, there was ONE THING MISSING and that was Dangerous Don Rich and hisTelecaster as well as his cherry red fiddle. Because of Buck Owens many of my generation grew to appreciate how much he taught the rock groups who admired him. I think too, we grew to appreciate other country artists as well. But because of Don Rich we really appreciated Buck because he’d never shy away from playing good music even if it did not fit the mould people (read that Nashville) tried to pour him into. Just reflect on this when you think today’s country artists have the music world by the tail. They’re far and few between what truly great country music is all about. When it comes to country, Buck, Johnny, Hank and Hank Jr. along with a few other players are far superior to many of the players on the air today. Dwight Yoakum knew what was missing and he brought Buck back to the spotlight. I for one am very grateful he did. Let’s keep Buck rolling on our turntables and enjoy every wonderful song that the man produced along with Don and the others.
Buck not only knew how to pick and sing, he knew how to dress himself and the band. So many of the current crowd shows up in a ripped pair of jeans and a tee shirt, wearing a baseball cap😒
Remembering Don Rich born on August 15, 1941. He best known by the stage name Don Rich, was an American country musician who helped develop the Bakersfield sound in the early 1960s. He was a noted guitarist and fiddler, and a member of The Buckaroos, the backing band of Don's best friend, country singer Buck Owens. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Rich
RIP Bill Mack. I hope St. Peter greets you with Orange Blossom Special to start your show there. The Midnight Cowboy. WBAP, Clear Channel 820, Fort Worth, Texas.
Don Rich started at age 16 I believe playing fiddle and Buck played lead guitar.Buck then taught young Don to play guitar and the rest is musical history.
Song written by the late great Johnny Russell, who said Buck's rendition really made him beaucoup bucks in royalties, but when those 4 guys from England covered it (the Beatles), the royalty checks really took off.

Damn they were fantastic.. Thank you so much for all the great memories for all of us...✌❤❤
A M E N
Absolutely Fantastic.Love Buck Owens and Don Rich.Fantastic Fantastic.Agree with all of you.Best Ever ❤❤
Listen to Don's low-pitch chicken-pickin' while he sings harmony in the second chorus 1:26. Dang.
Excellent and impressive but that was not actually chicken pickin
The best that’s ever played a guitar.
Those are some of the best electric guitar fills ever!!! Don was a machine!!!
Total lesson in how to play guitar fills. Stellar playing.
@@PFB1994 I'm 65 years old and Buck and Don were not even on my radar when I was growing up 'cause I'm a blues and rock guy. But Don's playing gave me whiplash!!! How did I miss this?
The late, great Don Rich and Buck Owens know how to come in perfectly on TWO, THREE, FOUR! Love these two! You left us too soon.
My favorite era of Country Music. Listen to those vocals and pickin!
Windsor?
I swear I love country music from back in the 60's.. and I'm from nyc
I prefer Waylom tho
I have been listening to Buck Owens since 64. I never get tired of this "happy go lucky" music
Don's guitar backup fill during Buck's vocals were superb! Don's smile is absolutely contagious.
Don was the master of country twang. I bet he help fender sell a lot of tele's.
Buck and Don having too much fun it’s contagious! Tom Brumley got that pedal steel clucking like a champ in the choruses! Great music boys!
That guitar tone makes me want to pickup my guitar
Don Rich legend
Wynn Stuart was the King of Bakersfield. RIP. Merel Haggard, Buck, Ralph Mooney and Don Rich. They learned a lot!
Losing Don Rich was such a terrible loss. He and Buck would have gone on to make so much more great music. 🎼🎸
Boy, you said it. Terrible loss.
How the hell does his live music sound like studio takes? What a great performer. Don Rich and the whole band too.
This is probably the best performance of this song I've seen him do... Or anyone for that matter...
@@TheFarmerfitz I totally agree, this is better than the record. The Buckaroos were a flat out amazing live band.
It was said that the buckaroos were named the perfect band it was also said that when the went to the studio to record a song or album it only took one time no do overs or overdubs or anything. Don rich on that telecaster man he knew how to make that thing talk
Diamond Rio was the same way. They didn’t use studio musicians then learn the parts, they recorded their own music. They almost always sounded just like the records in concert.
It is the soundboard recording to dry of signal for me
Wonderful to see Buck and Don acting naturally while performing Act Naturally! Their joy is downright contagious 😍
Buck, Don, Doyle, Tom, Willie. It doesn't get any better.
Don Rich is also a great guitar player!
He was indeed. Revolutionary. And he was a tremendous fiddle player as well.
I dig them bigtime
Gotta love those old country music outfits.
Their call Nudie's. Check out Nudie's of Nashville. He clothed all of the great country stars back then. The Flying Burrito Brothers were the last ones I recall who wore them. They are stunning.
i would rock that shit.
When Country stars dressed.
@@glendacopeland5050
Like Howdy Doody.
I think this is the best version I've ever heard of this song ever, by anyone... Even better than his own record version....
agreed!
Live is always better with these two.
Love Buck &Don!
Don was one of the greatest guitarists ever!
he certainly had a talent for coming up with some good "licks."
Heaven is an eternal episode of the Buck Owens Ranch show.
You know they were happy when they look like they are ready to burst out in laughter at any moment.
Today is July 17, 2024, and I'm listening to this music.
god that quick, straightened out shuffle pattern on the hats is so tough. much harder than it looks.
I just loved those two. Don's smile was so good. The singing of course was top notch.
My dad was a fiddle player and a huge fan of Don Rich 🎻
Any one who plays a guitar...can appreciate and respect Don Rich. A Well rounded, not flashy guitarist, composer....
Buck Owens - The Best !!!!!💥💥💥💥💥
The best country music ever put to record or played live. Nothing like it before or since.
Oh my gosh!
How is it possible to get all this talent in this room?
They play so casual, sing amazing, while enjoying themselves.
Don Rich was such an amazing guitarist.
I miss these times!
Lol, Buck didn't want Don to play a blues note at 1:07.. "whats that?" These guys were so cool, loved 'em.
Everything is great. The Don Rich guitar lead is phenomenal!👍👍
Oh boy, this is Telecaster heaven 😍
Don Rich always made the show for me. Nobody could harmonize like he could.
The Silver Sparkle Tele in full swing.
He was a "REAL MAN NATURALLY"Did I say how handsome he was and a BEAST on that guitar.Y'all can tell by now I'm a country music purist and will not settle for less.
RIP to both Buck and Don.
AMERICANA! along with all the greats.

Don Rich was a fellow Washingtonian! I was but a lad when I first heard Buck Owens and his sound stayed with me for a long time. Then I figured it out: this guy from Olympia was the catalyst for the whole band. No wonder Buck was so hot on the charts.

Buck and Don!! Awesome Bakersfield sound!
I am here because of Jonathan Nolan's fallout and this song and others from this era were absolutely incredible toe tappers. I can play this on loop.
Buck not only knew how to pick and sing, he knew how to dress himself and the band. So many of the current crowd shows up in a ripped pair of jeans and a tee shirt, wearing a baseball cap😒
Don always having fun
I sure do miss the ole days! What every happened !
21 number one hits. The Beatles had 20.

Buck with the iconic Fender Redondo; one of the finest in Country/Western Music
This is songwriting in it's perfection.
Tom Brumley's no slouch on the pedal steel guitar.
Buck Owen's and Don Rich and the Buckaroos!
Those Tele pickups were hot on this take!! 🔥 phenomenal!! 👏
Buck and Don Don And. Buck. No matter how you arrange it. Is still great. Just like Beans and Cornbread.
Great to see them having so much fun.
I'm laughing as I' m thinking of the lyrics and as I 'm watching that Buck Owens was one of the cutest singers of all time!
RIP Bill Mack. I hope St. Peter greets you with Orange Blossom Special to start your show there. The Midnight Cowboy. WBAP, Clear Channel 820, Fort Worth, Texas.
All true.
True happiness on their faces. Those were the days
Country music I love it and miss it
The incomparable and incredible Don Rich.
Buck and donny rich, the best
The green sparkle telly and the fender telecoustic, many songs played on them
I have never seen another artist have such a perfect side man. It is a perfect match and they should have had 40 mores years together. RIP Don Rich !!
No one can reproduce that Don Rich pickin n pluckin
that definitive pure Fender Telecaster tone, love it
"Hey, what if I do like a uh....thumbs up?" 👍
That sure puts a smile on my face. So sweet.
All I gotta go is act naturally! Great oldie!
Buck absolutely nails the vocal here.
Nice talented Guy Don Rich!! Great natural harmony and great with the Tele!! (F-cking motorbikes!) RIP xxx
Greatest music ever.
I love this version ❤
that's some good playing
Right on!
REAL country music
BAD ASS!!!
They are the best
Does anyone know the reason why The Beatles covered this song?
good music
“Legends”
What a great cover of a Ringo Starr song !!
🤣
Love it. Love it. Love everything about it. F**k yeah.
Gotta love Buck
Saw a guy trying to explain how Ringo is an elite drummer because he can do a shuffle like ANY country-western drummer.
Man, you can surely tell that this is live!
Don Rich started at age 16 I believe playing fiddle and Buck played lead guitar.Buck then taught young Don to play guitar and the rest is musical history.
He started playing the fiddle at age 3
The 'Bakersfield sound' at it's best, along with Merle Haggard. Robert at 68.
i like this ❤
Introduced by legendary Texas DJ, Bill Mack..
Super
Don Rich vivirá por siempre 👏🏻
So, so awesome!
awesome sauce!!! 🙂
great great stuff
