Never heard of them…until Bakersfield, California. Why would I want to talk about Buck Owens and the Bukaroos? Reason – this group ended up becoming a big hit with us in California.
So here is a brief history of Buck Owens – he was an American singer and guitarist who had 21 No. 1 hits on the Billboard country music charts with his band, the Buckaroos. The Crystal Palace restaurant, club and museum in Bakersfield was proudly erected by Buck Owens himself. Unfortunately Buck passed away not long after that.
The Crystal Place is Bucks own creation and gives a history of the Buckaroos along with other country music singers.
Hey, you might remember him from Hee Haw…now this is going back in time.
It’s Crying Time Again, and I Got A Tiger By The Tail, were one of the hits of Buck Owens and the Bukaroos, these two hits became the theme songs of our trip. It was played in the car, in the house, we were Bucked out, for sure. One evening John and Carol showed us how Buck Owens can turn anyone into a cowboy.
