About the Artist
The Buckaroos were much more than the co-creators with Buck Owens of the electrified honky-tonk hitmaking machine known to the world as the Bakersfield Sound! Spotlighting the mammoth guitar talent of Don Rich, the Buckaroos cut plenty of jaw-dropping records all by their lonesome, while the boss was away. It was a chance for the boys to track revered country standards and a handful of their own sparkling originals. And it was a rare insider's glimpse at just what made Buck Owens and the Buckaroos tick!
Product Description
Spotlighting the flying fingers of Buckaroos guitar-picking whiz Don Rich, the full-bodied pedal steel of Tom Brumley and the rocksteady rhythm of bassist Doyle Holly backed by the solid beat of drummers Willie Cantu and Jerry Wiggins, this Buckaroos smorgasbord is the perfect introduction to the band that created the Bakersfield Sound behind country music Hall of Famer Buck Owens. Here's the definitive example of their forward-thinking style -- an electrified honky-tonk sound that wowed the crowds wherever they played. This set clearly defines what made the vibrant Bakersfield sound of Buck Owens and the Buckaroos compelling enough to grab the country charts by the throat in the mid-'60s and not let go, while scoring plenty of cross-over pop-chart success at the same time.

Super Fun and Unjustly Forgotten,

This review is from: The Best Of The Buckaroos (MP3 Download)
Just like The Fireballs were good without Jimmy Gilmer, The Buckaroos were great even without Buck Owens. This collection of mid 60's country is half instrumental and half vocal, but all great examples of the "Bakersfield Sound". These guys won Grammys, played at Carnegie Hall, and were proclaimed Country Music's #2 band of all time by CMT. The sound is very clean, bright, twangy, toe-tappin and just plain fun. The Buckaroos were consummate instrumentalists. Expand your musical horizons and check out some of the best music from the 1960's. I grew up on Alice Cooper, Kiss, ZZ Top and Deep Purple...and I love The Buckaroos.
