You said it. Between Buck and Merle Haggard, the Bakersfield Sound is a gritty, gutsy, simple cord changing heartfelt music that has influenced many contemporary musicians. Dwight Yoakum comes to mind.
Too bad Buck never got the recognition he so truly deserved...Some say it was the Hee-Haw curse....I dunno.
What are the differences between Bakersfield and Nashville sounds?
