about

Eighteen years ago Buck Owens took his final bow. Performing a set at his own club, Crystal Palace in Bakersfield, CA (as he would most weekends), Buck went home March 24, 2006 and passed away in his sleep the following morning.

I've always been aware of Buck. "Hee Haw" ran into the early 90's, and I was familiar with The Beatles' take on "Act Naturally." But it wasn't until 2005 that my friend Pierre Cormier played for me "Buck Owens and His Buckeroos - In London," originally released in 1969, that I finally kinda got it. I was struck by just how rock'n'roll the supposedly Country and Western Buckeroos sounded in a live environment. As a fan of early rock, I was taken with the album immediately, and got my own copy from Taz Records in Halifax, NS after a gig with my band Adam and the Accidents in 2006.

What resonates with me most about Buck's music, aside from his incredible band, is his ability to craft simple, memorable melodies. Also, Buck could concoct short, extremely concise, songs to house these great melodies. Country and Western music was not exactly embraced in my house growing up, yet all of Buck's songs sounded oddly familiar to me. Had I heard Buck Owens music in the background my entire life, or did I somehow always know it?

That's the magic trick.
