    I Don't Care is an album by Buck Owens and his Buckaroos, released in 1964. It reached Number one on the Billboard Country charts and Number 135 on the Pop Albums charts. The single "I Don't Care" spent six weeks at number one.
    The album features a duet with Rose Maddox as well as lead vocals by Don Rich and Doyle Holly. It was re-released on CD in 1995 by Sundazed Records with two bonus tracks, both instrumentals from The Buck Owens Songbook.

    Alvis Edgar Owens Jr. (August 12, 1929 - March 25, 2006), professionally known as Buck Owens, was an American musician, singer, songwriter and band leader who had 21 No. 1 hits on the Billboard country music charts with his band the Buckaroos. They pioneered what came to be called the Bakersfield sound, named after Bakersfield, California, the city Owens called home and from which he drew inspiration for what he preferred to call American music.

    It's my Understanding that Buck Owens taught Don Rich to play lead Guitar. When I was a kid noodleing around with an old guitar my Grandmother had, She sent away for a Book and 45 rpm record by Buck Owens on how to play guitar.

    Buck Owens was an accomplished guitarist. He wss an excellent rhythm guitarist but had no problems playing lead guitar parts or instrumental pieces of music on the guitar. Buck Owens really was an outstanding musician.

    The album mentioned was "Buck Owens -- guitar player" and featured all Buck on lead. He was the lead guitarist for Tommy Collins before starting his own career. And the tejano influence here is obvious.

    I heard somewhere that Buck played guitar for Gene Vincent at one point, later on in the 50s or early 60s. I've also got a Tommy Collins best-of that has guitar credits for Roy Nichols, Joe Maphis, Ferlin Husky, Don Rich but mainly Buck.

    I went to Country Music Festival, here in Australia, on the weekend.. A left handed picker there, by the name of Owen Blundell, swapped his guitar for a right hand one and played this tune with the strings upside down... never missed a note.. it was awesome.

    It is really good to have a video of Buck Picking the old Silver Speckle Telecaster. It goes to show what an amazing musician Buck Owens truly was. This video shows the true magic of what great musicianship really sounds like, and not only that he looks like he was having fun, and that in the end is what playing music is all about.

  • @bengreens
    @bengreens 11 років тому +3

    As a kid, when I used to watch this show, Buck looked kinda old to me. Seeing the clip now, I was startled by how young he is! Great music in any case, and he kept making it for decades. Anyone remember the Blackjack Wayne Show?

  • @EricEllis-b2m
    @EricEllis-b2m Рік тому +1

    I see a lot of comments about how Buck taught Don how to play lead guitar. And I'm sure he did show Don some things. But Don was already playing lead guitar with some bands where grew up (in the Olympia, Washington area). Not to take anything away from Buck.

  • @gio2974
    @gio2974 5 років тому +3

    Mi sa che diversi chitarristi di liscio italiano si sono ispirati a questo brano di Owens nel scrivere polke per chitarra. Il più famoso è stato certo Franco Trevisani della celebre orchestra Castellina Pasi. Di lui basta citare "La Pizzicata" suonata tutta "stoppata" col palmo della mano sul ponte della Strato.

    • @TheRecordNut
      @TheRecordNut 6 років тому +1

      Roland Cook When Buck discovered Don, while on tour in Washington State, Don only knew how to play fiddle. Buck got him to join his band, and he taught Don to play guitar. This was just before Buck had his first session for Capitol, about early 1959.

    • @TEXASFENDERBENDER

      Buck was one of THE Guitar Slingers of the West Coast Country & Western scene and a much in demand studio Cat. Merle Haggard said "Some of the Hottest Guitar ever laid down on a track was by Buck"

      Weren’t Buck and Don play harmonized lead guitar on “Buckaroo”? A year before the Beatles did on “And Your Bird Can Sing” and several years before the Allman Brothers and the Eagles.

      Roland, I'm reading 'Buck 'Em' - Bucks autobiography. He tells lots of stories about all that, and yes, Buck taught Don, but then Bucks says Don got so good he couldn't play alot of the licks Don ended up playin'. Highly recommend this book, line after line of an amazing life!
