my dad had many of BUCKS records they were popular in the bar he worked in and when he got home his guitar came out with the Bakersfield tunes plus Hank Snow and Hank Williams.
Thank you and screw those people! Bakerfield is where most of my favorite stuff was based: Buck, Merle, Wynn Stewart, the Maddox Bros and Rose, etc. All those Okies and Texans were drawn to the area for work, and they brought their cowboy songs and fiddle music- Thank God they all met up in Bakersfield and accidently created the best music.
I grew up on the Hill, Lebec, just south of Bakersfield in the 60's and early 70's. I've seen or met most of these folks. I took guitar lessons From the Mosleys at the Mosrite Studio. You could drive around Bakersfield on a Saturday morning and watch all the new talent playing on flatbeds in store parking lots. There just never will be anything like it ever again. I'm a lucky man for having lived it.
My neighbors in Weedpatch California were always practicing their country music, we called them Okies, my brother married one of them Okie girls. I came to love their music with live music next door we never complained.
Just moved here to Bakersfield . . . People are awesome here, lived in New York, Miami and grew up in LA. Bakersfield people are far and away the best people.
Merle is loved everywhere. Here in the Cordilleras, the mountainous region of Northern Luzon in the Philippines with around 1.8 Million people, Merle's music is still played and heard.
Grew up in kern county, after Vietnam, spent a few evenings at Blackboard, Trouts, Bakersfield Inn..... Tam o' Shanter, Lost Knight, Silver Fox, and other establishments... Great time, a few blistering hangovers.. if I could, would do it again.. Love that they played to end of their time.. Miss Jeanie, you are not forgotten.. Thanks for Memories..
As a kid I remember seeing Buck Owens on the Jimmy Dean show quite frequently. Really made an impression on me, great music, squinty eyes, shiny suits. Got every vinyl record he put out.
Dad moved us to Bakersfield in ‘68 and I stayed until ‘82. Buck lived down on Panorama and Merle lived around the corner on Rio Vista while the canyon house was being built. Bakersfield during the ‘70.
Love the video brother I moved as a kid from LA to Bakersfield and love history and country music 🎶 . Bakersfield is rich in history. Gotta love classic country.
It's absolutely awesome to see Roy Nichols here with Fred and Rose Maddox... before he went playing with Merle Haggard's band, he was their guitar player.. never saw this footage before ❤
Im comin home yall.....came to Los Angeles to make a life, realized that Bakersfield is where my life was always meant to be. Love that old town, ill be movin back very very soon lol just waitin to get work out there
born in raised in bakersfield (oildale specifically) born in the hospital that charles manson died in. Lived on merle haggard drive for a while. now i live half a block away from buck owens old recording studio. I remember being a little kid and buck was shooting the streets of bakersfield video and we were in the crowd behind him
My grandpa and grandma and my dad came from Meeker Oklahoma to Selma California which is about 15 miles south of Fresno and about 100 miles north of Bakersfield on 99 in the 50s and this is the music my dad listen to. He would tell us “this is Okie music“ 😆 (which is actually the truth ) and I thought that’s what it was called instead of Country music. so the story is the same there as it is in Bakersfield. I also had a cousin in Sacramento that had a country music newsletter. His name was Bucky and he interviewed all the country music acts that came into town. I also stayed in Pixley for a while and that’s where Roy Buchanan is from. Merle Haggard was always considered as a local boy that done good and was everybody’s favorite.
I grew up in Modesto. My daddy played an electric slide guitar and mama played whatever she wanted to. By ear. Chester Smith was my uncle by marriage. My world was all about music. They would 'sang' in Honkey Tonks. Mama wrote a song the Quaquin Singers recorded. We were emersed. The Maddox Bro. and Rose were local icons. When my mama, Judy Blevins, and my aunt Nikki Smith/French/Grass would go out and sing, they took us, toddlers. Put us to sleep in the the car parked in the back while they played. I vividly remember some of it. They sewed red dotted swiss dresses to wear when the played in Firebaugh. Those dresses were cut and made into dresses for my sister and I.
I live in Huntington Beach and i love and would move ta Bakersfield in a minute. I love the people so much and merle haggard is the legend a bakersfield.
Music of the common man and soooo deep in my childhood, family roots and soul. I recently lost my only sibling, my brother, to a drug OD. We shared EXACTLY what this video is about. We come from a loooong line of bluegrass and country music. I really miss him, but enjoy videos like these that make me forget the pain of losing him…..and focus on what we shared!
So many people left the dust bowl during and after the great depression and went to California. All of this music is from Texans, and Okies, and the list goes on. Merle Haggard's family came from Oklahoma and Buck Owens was from Texas.
Thank you I learned a whole another type of music. Larry Petree and his wife's passing in the desert led me to find out what the Bakerfield sound was/is.
Born and raised in Bakersfield. Live way away now in the Northeast of America. Thanks for the upload. I enjoyed the trip back to the San Joaquin, more so Bakersfield.
My grandmother’s adopted father was named Tommy Collins. Never met him or really heard his music. I’ve actually heard some terrible things about him. But still cool to know stuff like that.
Hi Brandon! I realized that this is the 30th anniversary of our film. That blows my mind. I am just as in love with Henry (and I won't tell who else!) today as I was when working with him. I have a picture of me, Paula M (director), and Henry from the Emmy ceremony that still sits on my bookshelf. Thanks so much for uploading this!
Hi Melissa! Thanks so much for your message. I think I know exactly the photo you're talking about. If you can believe it, I'm still working on projects about Henry now (including a book if I can ever find the time to finish it). A few months ago, I finished scanning all of the photos in Henry & Margaret Ann's collection and I've been working on restoring each and every photo in Photoshop. Not sure if I sent this to you before, but here's a link to the photos I'm uploading. Only about 600-700 to go! LOL. www.flickr.com/photos/brandonrowe/albums/72157678015377633
I started out on an early sunday morning headed north bound on the highways & the byeways then found myself in the place called bakersfield & late that evening I walked into a honky tonk & there to my suprise I met merle haggard & buck owens to this day still kicking around here in bakersfield.
@@diannepulse9784 That's good to hear. This year, 2021 would be the 100th anniversary of Weatherby's Furniture. My sister still lives in Bakersfield. Thanks for the comment. :)
Excellent, thankyou. It’s one thing to read about Bakersfield and it’s music, it’s another to see the place itself on film - ultimately, going there would be my preferred choice….maybe one day. The Maddox family had such an enormous influence on musicians in and around California, it’s always puzzled me that they don’t get cited more with the resurgence of interest in this kind of music. I love Merle Haggard. ‘Okie’ always nonplussed me though; but as time has gone on, and having heard more anecdotes about his friendships with people like Willie Nelson - not to mention the sheer volume of pot that they smoked - I’ve come to the conclusion that Merle was being a little mischievous with the lyrical content of that particular song. Thanks again. Marc.
Of course Merle was joking in a way in that song. I was lucky enough to meet him once and he asked if I knew where he could find some weed. Fortunately my steel guitar player had some. This was in the 70’s
I'm Hispanic and my family's got the twang 3 generations back from being farmers (gma) and living here. Prior to covid, gma would have LIVE country music at her senior center -- the actual real deals like Red Simpson playing music for these old folks. I love my town. Still do.
I used to have a lot of the old Bakersfield sound records on the old labels by bill woods tally global fire. Have a few left. Best one I have is the lewis tally and the whackers LP on tally records. And its signed by Henry Sharpe on the back. Wish I could have got it signed by fuzzy Owen and merle haggard. He was co producer on it. Its rare now. I live in Bakersfield. Too bad there all gone now
Wow! That's a really great find. I'm Henry's great-grandson and even I don't have a signed copy! Do you happen to have Henry's Global Records 717? The A song was called "Lovely Lady" and the B side was called "Shortnin - Roll." It's the only record of his I've yet to track down. If you happen to have it and would be willing to sell, I'd be interested in buying it. Shoot me an email at browe1485@gmail.com.
@@BrandonRowe14 hi my name is George and ive had the lewis tally LP for years. I moved to Bakersfield in 1994. The copy I have was signed by Henry on the back I Dont know when. At one time I used to have 40,000 records. But when I crashed my car about 11 years ago I had to sell them. To either get my car fixed or another one. So most of the collection went. But I used to have all the tally 45s and Lps lewis tally and the cousin herb show LP. Still have the Lps. Used to have all the tally , fire 45s and global 45s moserite 45s I do know I have cathy sharps north pole rock 45. I used to have all Henry's 45s. I had the complete set of tally global fire and Bakersfield labels. Wish I still had them.
@@georgesanders5006 Wow. That sounds like an amazing collection. It’s a shame you had to sell them, but I understand. Cathy was my grandmother. My family has a number of copies of her North Pole Rock record, but they are rare. I spent $250 on one I found on Ebay a few years ago. It wound up being one of Global’s better known songs because it was used in so many Christmas compilations. We’re very proud of it and play it every Christmas. I also bought a copy of Henry’s LP with Tally a few years ago, but it wasn’t as expensive. I also have an original photo that they used for the front cover of the record sleeve for that LP.
@@BrandonRowe14 sounds like u come from a musical family with lots of history. Especially Bakersfield history. yeah Idk how many of the Lewis tally LPs were pressed. Tally was a small label and ive only seen 45s around. Maybe only a few hundred Lps were pressed. And seen them sell for a lot. The Cathy 45 I found in a box of 45s for 50 cents each. It had merle haggard tally 45s and other Bakersfield 45s in it. So got lucky on that.
Great video! How far back in time do I go with Bakersfield? I remember Cousin Herb Henson advertising Leo Meek automobiles on TV. Oh yeah, there were some singers on his show. I think there names were Buck Owens, Merle Haggard and Bill Woods. Don't know whatever happened to them.
Hi Sherlock, Unfortunately, I don’t believe this is available for purchase anymore. I copied this from an old VHS, and as far as I’m aware, my copy is the only version online. Here is a link to Part 2: ua-cam.com/video/Fl80PDum1Uo/v-deo.html

Well, what about Oildale? (JK, I used to work at KUZZ-TV 45 in the early 90s, and the guys over at KKXX were always busting on Oildale).

Tengo 20 años viviendo en BAKERSFIELD me encanta vivir aquí.
Soy mexicana .😊
Una Chulada mi rancho
I just found this and really loved it... My Dad was Homer Joy - "Streets of Bakersfield" writer...
My grandparents lived and died in Bakersfield. My grandpa was a radio dj known as the voice of Bakersfield. I miss it there.
Born, raised and still live in NYC but I have the music of Buck and Merle in my soul and Bakersfield in my heart.
Affordable still and you can find work. Not alot of trash on side of road like Los Angeles. Its 2 hours from everything.
My neighbors in Weedpatch California were always practicing their country music, we called them Okies, my brother married one of them Okie girls. I came to love their music with live music next door we never complained.

Used to deliver pizzas near there by the airport. I moved to San Diego for university. Never did I realize how much I would miss our small town
You GO Bakersfield ...greetings from Kingsburg (down the road from you on 99)
Buck Owens . Absolute Class!
Fried potatoes, biscuits, white gravy, and a tall glass of milk with ice in it. The main stay of my Okie diet.
RIP to Buck, Merle and everyone else who contributed to the Bakersfield sound. I’m a country music fan from Appalachia.
Merle Haggard and Buck Owens are legends
“They came for the yellow. They found the brown.”
I'm Mexican love Bakersfield Contry....makes me feel at home...

Every time I pass by Bakersfield, you bet the Hag and Buck Owens, comes on my radio!
The Okie's i knew in California said the first three words an Okie baby learned to speak were, Mommy, Daddy, and Bakersfield.
My family and I always go to bakersfield . To visit family and to go up to lake isabella in the summer and for the fishing!!!!
I've been a Bakersfield nut as long as I can remember!
My friend is native and they have land out there. God it’s so perfect.

A shame. I don’t see it getting better anytime soon.
Plus everyone moving here from La, Bay Area, ect...It’s so over crowded and anyone you talk to now days is an out of towner
