Along with Merle Haggard, Buck Owens was the leader of the Bakersfield sound, a twangy, electrified, rock-influenced interpretation of hardcore honky tonk that emerged in the '60s. Owens was the first bona fide country star to emerge from Bakersfield, scoring a total of 15 consecutive number one hits in the mid-'60s. In the process, he provided an edgy alternative to the string-laden country-pop that was being produced during the '60s. Later in his career, his musical impact was forgotten by some as he became a television personality through the country comedy show Hee Haw. Nevertheless, several generations of musicians -- from Gram Parsons in the late '60s to Dwight Yoakam in the '80s -- were influenced by his music, which wound up being one of the blueprints for modern country music. Owens was born in Texas, but his family moved to Mesa, Arizona when he was a child, seeking work during the Great Depression. Owens developed a fervent interest in music as a young child, learning to play guitar in his early teens.

Alvis Edgar "Buck" Owens Jr. (August 12, – March 25, ) was an American musician, singer, songwriter, and band leader. He was the lead singer for Buck Owens and the Buckaroos, which had 21 No. 1 hits on the Billboardcountry music chart. He pioneered what came to be called the Bakersfield sound, named in honor of Bakersfield, California,^[1][2] Owens's adopted home and the city from which he drew inspiration for what he preferred to call "American music".^[3]

While the Buckaroos originally featured a fiddle and retained pedal steel guitar into the s, their sound on records and onstage was always more stripped-down and elemental. The band's signature style was based on simple story lines, infectious choruses, a twangy electric guitar, an insistent rhythm supplied by a prominent drum track, and high, two-part vocal harmonies featuring Owens and his gu
