What's your favorite Buck Owens song?
Streets of Bakersfield. I love that song, from my parents playing it when I was a kid. Hi Chuck! Otis, hope you had fun at your gig.
"Close Up the Honky Tonks".... love those Don Rich backing vocals
Tiger by the tail.. Yeah, I know its a standard but always brings back good memories from about 15 years ago. Camping with friends by a river in WV, listening to mojo nixon on sirus and howling at the moon after a few too many home brews.
Love's Gonna Live Here Again. I played bass in a bluegrass band all through the nineties whose front man was a Buck Owens fanatic who would critique my harmony vocals with "Don Rich it more, man, Don Rich it more!"
I’ve…Got…A…Tiger by the tail ✌️😎
Great interview Chuck is Awesome you need more of Chuck Thanks
Loved BR-549.
Love BR549! I got to see them once. Fantastic.
I grew up Listening to Buck Owens & the Buckaroos!! Thank You Mom! WooF!
Oh I was living in Bakersfield during Chris Scruggs tenure. Saw those shows with Buck & Red. Actually I would stop in to catch Buck’s Act all the time. Loved Bako. On Friday & Saturday night, the shows would be aired live on KUZZ. Was at the Crystal Palace one week before Buck passed in 2005. Got a great pic of him that I treasure. He was at the CP if you saw his yellow Hummer 2 parked outside. Miss him. 💧
Love the story of Buck
Great stories
Thank you for this!
I grew up listening to country music because it's what my parents listened to. At the time I didn't really enjoy it that much but I didn't get to pick what station was on the radio. It was only in later years that I actually gained an appreciation for a lot of those old school country artists such as Buck Owens. And of course HeHaw was a regular at our house on TV. Probably my favorite Buck Owens song is I've Got A Tiger By The Tail .
I love all the Chuck Mead videos. Good stuff. Real good stuff.
Great story.
I HIGHLY recommend Buck 'Em! Thanks, Otis!!!!
“There Goes My Love,” which I learned off the BR549 album…
- Much love,
Glenn Jones
Above and Beyond !
Big In Vegas. Great channel!!!
Hell yes.
Two come to mind... Together Again I've Got A Tiger By The Tail....
Nothing to say but great!
Tiger by the Tail first song I remember hearing on the radio. Favorite song would probably be Waiting in Your Welfare Line and Tall Dark Stranger. I first heard Welfare Line it was sung by John Cougar Mellencamp in the movie Falling From Grace. Hugely under appreciated movie
Chuck tells a story with such genuine enthusiasm - Thanks!
Chuck is a great story teller, and this one did not disappoint. Awesome.
I love listening to Chuck Meade tell stories
Man. I seriously love me some Buck. Thank you.
Best one yet Otis, This cat should have his own Channel lol Thanks for sharing.
Buck was the king..he was way ahead of his time and so generous to the musicians coming up..look how he backed Dwight Yoakum and even brad paisley when they first started..tightest road band that will ever be..
Gotta say Love's Gonna Live Here Short tune but very upbeat great picking by Don.
My Buck Owens story…it was 1974 I was 20 years old my band and I read in the news paper that Buck was auditioning Country bands so we all hopped into my 1973 Ford Van and well had a road trip
It was only a two hour drive and when we got there Bucks offices was closed…..so we all camped out at Kern River wilderness area….it was beautiful Kern River has lots of White River rafting but where we were it was deep but not very wide, I think we all could have jumped across with a running start…lol so the next morning we all put on our best flannel shirts and jeans Tony Lama boots and went down to see our hero Buck….we arrived and talked to Bucks Secretary she was a sweetheart….she kindly told us Buck was out of town and the tryouts were next month….it’s ok we all had a blast
Bucks big smile enthusiasm. I love the harmony. Loves gonna live here again! Thanks for the great interview. Love you all.
I have a great Buck Owens story. The last year of his ranch show. Near my birthday I would have been turning 7 .my mom wrote to Buck telling him my three favorite songs. Buck usually always sang three songs on the show. The night of my birthday the show was on and Buck sang all three songs.
Could have been a coincidence but I don't think so. Sadly in 2008 Buck passed on my birthday Mar 25.
That's a great story, I'm sure he played those three songs for you.
Just about all of them.
I drive to gigs listening to BR549 just to get my head ready to play. Great band.
You're living right, Tom! ; )
Chuck
Is
Back...
Good stuff right there! Love Buck and all of the Bakersfield sound pioneers.
Lovely show. Chuck unveiled a side of Buck I knew nothing about. Buck sounds like a class act not unlike yourself. I am so grateful for your labors. Favorite Buck song? “Act naturally,” which you do sooo smoothly. Thanks, brother Otis. 🌵
Chuck's a good storyteller. He's kind of the Forrest Gump of country music...he's been everywhere and knows everybody.
Once again another fabulous interview Otis! I absolutely loved Buck and Don. I play a Telecaster because of Don Rich.
Got to see Buck and Don live about 1972-73 when I was 11 yrs old and it was as great as you would imagine. 3 days ago (July 17) was 47th anniversary of Don dying in the bike crash. I remember how sad I felt hearing that news on my am radio. ✌🇨🇦
@@danielmorris3687 I visited Buck's and Don's gravesites in Bakersfield to pay my respects.
@@tinydancer62 If I ever find I have the opportunity to ride to California It will definitely be on my list of must do's.
@@danielmorris3687 The Crystal Palace is a great restaurant, place to hear music, and country music museum. I saw Buck's son Buddy Owens with the Buckaroos.
I love what you're doing because it is so important to get the stories down and documented I think it's a wonderful thing you're really great at it dude I just wanted you to know I really appreciate what you're doing it's wonderful I enjoy your channel so much God bless you my friend
Thank you, Rodney!
Before you go!!!!
As with all great artist, hard to pick just one favorite song. Two that I lean to are "Under Your Spell Again", and "Under The Influence of Love". Enjoy Mooney's playing on these two.
"The Best Rock and Roll band in Country music."
Definitely agree with that sentiment. My favorite of Buck's is Sam's Place.
thanks Otis, always been said"Buck was the real deal" RIP Buck!
Tiger by the Tail
I got a tiger by the tale
I remember that show at the crystal palace I was at that show. Sam’s place is my favorite Buck show.
I also saw The Cramps play before Buck went on at the Hootenanny, I think it was at Irvine Meadows.
BIG IN VEGAS is a great song. One of the best.
I love these Chuck Mead stories. Who doesn’t?
Today its"CRYING TIME", the first Buck song I heard and learned as a child.
Just As Long As You Love Me
Crying time for sure . Buck and Don ...what a duo !
Chuck's assessment of Buck and his band is spot-on. Buck always insisted he played "American" music, not country or rock.
I loved his TV show...he was so funny and personable. He treated all of his guests like they were his BEST FRIENDS...they were. He was magic
br549 is my favorite country band...i saw them in richmond va.at an outside show at the botanicai gardens...still listen to their albums all the time!
'Streets of Bakersfield' is a really good song. gotta love a sad song with a snappy rhythm. it is a fun one to play too
I remember watching Buck Owens on TV when I was a kid and being completely enamored with that band. Especially Don Rich. Didn't even know his name. The music was just so right!
"Act Naturally" of course!
Really enjoyed this. All of Bucks & Buckaroos are my favorites Otis.
Come on now........just one.
Absolutely spot on about that. I didn't appreciate him until going back year's later to listen again.
❤️ hi friends! Otis I wont tell my Donnie Ulrich story now 😳but I do want to share with that sassy talented music maverick Mister Chuck Mead this: shitty bars, yeah we all know ‘em, LOVE em’ and some of us have had the sweet pleasure of playing in ‘em and they are sadly going extinct. Great content, as usual O2
❤️ Loves Gonna Live Here!
I really love Chuck's stories, thanks Otis.
Great show....the true Buckmeister
Another great Buck Em' story, talk about a force in music as well as entertainment business.
Together Again is a fav, but heck the man had so many hits, hard to settle down to one.
Have a great week Otis
Hey Otis, I love stories about Buck Owens. My dad listened to him when I was a kid and I loved that music. I've got the album "Hot Dog" that he came out with in the 80's. So many great songs on it, but my favorite is Sweethearts in Heaven. Much love from Alabama.
Thank you for posting this excellent interview.
What a wonderful story. I love br549 and have seen them many times and Chuck with his new band. Chuck is a great guy and very thankful to all the fans who come to see him and his band. Can't wait to see him back on the road again. Please please come back to the Cincinnati area sooooon. It's hard for me to pick a favorite Buck song but one that brings a chuckle to me is " Wham Bam, Thank you Ma'am.". I also highly recommend all the Buckaroo albums that were putout without Buck. Really shows what a class act Buck was supporting the great Buckaroo albums. Thanks, Otis. Another great segment. Your the best. Keep em coming!!!!!
Great interview! Favorite song- "Love's Gonna Live Here" ",Buckaroo"
I remember being in the Eagles lodge with my Dad. He’d be drinking with his buddies. I’d be playing that little 10 cent bowling machine that was in every beer joint, drinking a Coke in a 7oz bottle and it seemed like every other song played on the jukebox was Buck Owens. Act Naturally was my favorite back then and it still is.
Well my favorite Country AND Rock & Roll song by Buck is "Darling before you go".
My favorite Rock & Roll song by Buck is "Hot dog" and Country all-time favorite is
"Together again". Did I miss anything ? No, except maybe "Ruby, (honey are you
mad at your man ?)" is my favorite ´Bluegrass´ song of his.
I respect Buck so much not only for his pioneering sound but for his business acumen
Damn these are good! The whole channel.
Huge fan of BR459 and Buck . I had no idea they were connected
how cool is that ! Coffee with Otis always great.
Enjoyed this one Otis. My wife Sunny is from Bako and I lived there for three years ..in her dear mothers last year's the family took mama to the crystal palace to see Buck. Pretty much had to carry her up a few stairs to their table but they had a ball. Great interview. Thanks. Bruce
The original On the Streets of Bakersfield Buck Ownes with his Buckaroos or most of them without Dwight Yoakum.
My introduction to Buck Owens was through my grandpa and his love of Hee Haw. Always enjoyed Buck and Roy's playing, and Buck's signature guitar stands out in my mind.
Fast forward many years, and I'm learning more about the people and artists such as Buck Owens. I guess I'm going to have to go explore some BR5-49 now
Thank you for the great stories! ❤
my first concert was Buck.....I was nine or ten years old, had the time of my life. I got my first acoustic a year or two later.....stripped it down and painted it red white and blue, it got smashed in a car wreck a few years later...peace y'all
i
Tiger by the Tail is my favorite
I was not aware that Buck was a big BR549 fan. Good interview.
Lately been playing, “Roll Out the Red Carpet”
Under Your Spell Again, Above and Beyond, Sam's Place. He does a vicious version of Rolling in My Sweet Baby's Arms. Don Rich was an incredible musician, guitar, fiddle, or banjo. Diggy Liggy Lo is awesome; it's reminiscent of the Cajun music I grew up on.
Waiting In Your Welfare Line. From the day it came out til now, the coolest!
Never disappointed
Thanks Otis great story!
BUCKAROO ! ! !
MISSED you yesterday OTIS ENJOYED MAN
I'm building a 1960 Ford F100 around a Buck Owens bumper sticker.
Act Naturally, Tiger by the Tail, Together Again, but as usual with me, favorites change hourly, lol.
Together Again, Tiger By The Tail, Streets Of Bakersfield….. and on and on, I can’t pick just one 😏
I really enjoyed watching this video. I play with Buck’s son Johnny in the Buck Fever Band. Johnny does a wonderful job paying tribute to his dad. We are waiting fir the Crystal Palace to re-open so we can carry on our tradition of keeping the Bakersfield Sound alive. As for my favorite Buck Owens song, I love “Your Tender Loving Care,” but the - in actuality - the list is long.
Side Note: Donny is a friend of mine. I can speak for many out here. We’d love to have him back. 🎻🎶🎶🎶🎸
Otis, I made the made mistake of watching this video with my 91 year old grandmother. We listen to your "Misspent Youth" cd when I drive her around town and some of Chuck's stuff too. BR549 and his solo albums, and she's a fan of both of you guys. Watching the video she said "Well he's sure got a potty mouth!". So I guess you can let Chuck know that he has a potty mouth.
Sure appreciate you, Man.
Act Naturally this morning.Sorry I missed the show saturday Brother.
Hey Otis! I Can’t find the Chuck Mead/Bob Dylan story? Did you take it down?
Wow Otis…you’re the best interviewer…it’s like you’re got a Tiger by the Tail….lol
Tiger by the Tail. No wait, Together Again. No, wait, Open Up Your Heart. No, wait, Act Naturally...
Waitin' in your welfare line, made in japan, rosie jones, tender loving care, can't hardly go wrong with Buck.
Made in Japan. Somewhere between with Susan Raye. This is an impossible task. There’s just so many great Buck Owens songs. I might break my brain if I try to narrow it down to just one. Perhaps the definition of insanity should be trying to pick just one great Buck Owens song.It’s impossible for me I’m just gonna go get a beer and play my telecaster for a while.
It would be hard to name a better band in country music, or even rocknroll. Buck and Don built one helluva well oiled machine. To my ears, they sound like classical musicians sometimes. Sheer perfection.
I love listening to these stories. But I have to say the one where 3 performers where together (old age) Roy Clark pulls out his coke. I am still just shocked with my minds eye seeing good ole Roy and his stash, lmao!!
Tiger by the Tail. Buck Owens and Don Rich -- that's a couple of pretty damn good guitar pickers.
Second Fiddle
It's crying time again. Pickin n grinning
Tom Brumley was a great steel player too.
Ooooo forgot ROVIN' GAMBLER.
