I grew up in the Town That Buck Owens Owned and where Merle Haggard lost his wife to a river (which most would call a creek).

It’s where The Bakersfield Sound was started because, well, it was Bakersfield and it was a sound.

I did not like country or country/western while growing up. At. All.

But now days I really enjoy a lot of Blues Saraceno, Nick Ammar and Nick Nolan type music.

But I doubt that qualifies as “country” or “country/western”.

Examples:

Nick Ammar - The Burning

Nick Nolan - Shackles Ropes and Chains

Partner, for some reason the folks in Nashville controlled the air waves and the Bakersfield sound was very, very good.

Merle Haggard, Buck Owens, Dwight Yoakum and some of the ole groups in Bakersfield was not popular in Nashville but out West they were and we know that. Since the Bakersfield sound is very popular.

We know the Bakersfield sound introduced electric and steel guitars.

My father used to listen to C&W music and I tried to change the channel one time and got I got chastised by my father.
