Country music singers sure do love their Christmas songs. Now why is that? I reckon it has a little bit to do with the holiday's celebration of all things traditional, and down home-y, and old-
Seeing as the History of Country series is proving so popular, let us put on a Santa-red Stetson and have a country Christmas. This lot is old-skool: Ernest Tubb riffs (badly) on his 1941 honky tonk classic, Loretta Lynn socks it to it disagreeable Santa, while Brenda Lee aims to lassoo him, yee ha. George Jones goes X-Mas twisting, and Buck Jones provides some serious pathos. And if you had to choose one man to sing Little Drummer Boy, it would have to be Johnny Cash, right? Hey, even horrid old Jingle bloody Bells sounds good here! [...]
Bakersfield country legend sings original holiday fare Buck Owens was no stranger to holiday recordings, having released Christmas with Buck Owens and his Buckaroos in 1965 and Christmas Shopping in 1968. By the time of this album's release in 1971, Owens was recording duets with Susan Raye, and riding the tail of their first three hits, this holiday album was released. Ten of the eleven tracks are originals, capped by Raye's solo cover of Gene Autry's "Here Comes Santa Claus." The songs [...]

A collection of recordings from the legendary Buck Owens recorded for labels Pep, Chesterfield and La Brea Records the 24 track reissue includes some of Owen's earliest recordings including his first known session in 1953 in Hollywood with several tracks appearing with alternate versions, the music pre-dates Owens collaboration with his backing band the Buckaroos and the legendary Bakersfield sound that emerged later, as a musical document to an emerging artist it's an engaging listen but likely only to appeal to existing fans and the completest - which is great shame as there are some fine classic country tunes to [...]

Buck Owens' pre-Capitol sounds Before signing with Capitol Records and pioneering new sounds in country music, Buck Owens recorded in the 1950s for Pep, and waxed a number of original demos. His earliest sides showed little of the invention and none of the electric sting he'd develop in his Bakersfield days; instead, the pedal steel, fiddle and piano are pushed to the fore, and Owens' voice, though easily recognized, is drawn more directly from the lachrymose honky-tonk tradition than the unique, upbeat style he'd develop in the '60s. The lack of drums and harmony [...]

Terrific early '70s duets from Buck Owens and Susan Raye Susan Raye was a solid 1970s country hit maker, but having shared peak years with Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton and Tammy Wynette, her long-term fame has been overshadowed and her Capitol catalog has been neglected by the reissue industry. The last collection of her solo work, Varese's 16 Greatest Hits , was released over a decade ago, and is now joined by this selection of fourteen duets recorded with her mentor, Buck Owens. The pair recorded four albums between [...]
In the late 1950s and early '60s country was in a good shape. The likes of Johnny Cash, George Jones, Jim Reeves, Patsy Cline (who like Reeves would die in a plane crash), Don Gibson, Kitty Wells, Marty Robbins, Skeeter Davis, Ray Price, Faron Young, Ernest Tubb, ex-boxer Lefty Frizzell and Wanda Jackson were recording prodigious success, even in rivalry with its progeny, rock & roll.These were the comfort years before the social upheaval of the 1960s put into question old certainties, even in the world of country music. By now, country was no longer confined to the [...]

The Grim Reaper must be in need of a holiday after his brutally busy month.In fact, we're still finding his victims from last month. For example, the 20 February death of doo wop singer Willie Davis was announced only last week. Among this month's dead are Carl Bunch, a drummer who toured with Buddy Holly & the Crickets in early 1959. He was in hospital due to frostbite sustained on the unheated tourbus which Buddy, Richie Valens and the Big Bopper tried to rescape by taking the flight that killed them. [...]
He's recorded 15 albums, 14 of which have been certified gold, and has produced more than 30 Top Ten singles, 20 of which have climbed to the top of the Hot Country Songs charts. He's got award

PopMatters
PopMattersA fun trip through a country legend's formative years. It seems strange now to think that Buck Owens, he of Hee Haw fame and hits like "Tiger By the Tail" and "Act Naturally", was ever considered outside of the mainstream. Compared to the slick countrypolitan sound that dominated Nashville at the time of his biggest hits, though, Owens's honky-tonk style probably seemed pretty rebellious. Owens's style was straightforward and infectious, and it didn't need a whole lot of strings or studio gloss to get...
