I've got the Rhino Very Best of Buck Owens CD on right now. I kind regarded him as a bit of a goof, because of HeeHaw, but after hearing him singing with Dwight Yoakam, and gave him another listen.
He was ahead of his time, in a weirdly retro way, if that makes any sense. Yoakam and Junior Brown sort of fill the same role today.

yeah, but now we'll have to put up with the all-star tributes from the likes of commie Faith "sleeping my way to the top" Hill (who never apparently met a producer she didn't like enough to sleep with) and the rest of the phoney "country stars"....ugh!

There was a CCR song with a Buck Owens reference - think it was called "Lookin' Out My Back Door."
It went something like, "Listenin' to Buck Owens, do, do, do, lookin' out my back door."

Johnny Russel wrote Act Naturally and Harlan Howard wrote Tiger By The Tail. These Hollywood put down country types don't know their butts from a rectal opening.

Some others:
Act naturally
Together Again
Tall Dark Stranger (means 'danger')
Ditto Buck.

I started listening to Buck Owens in college a few years ago. He is one of my favorite all time in country. I love "Act Naturally," and "Above and Beyond." God Bless Buck Owens!

Wel, I never cared for "Hee-Haw", nor was I a fan of his, but I am sorry to hear this. He wasn't like so many of these stars, full of himself and excrement. He was a nice, down-home, decent fella. And I wish him a peaceful rest.

Buck Ownes will definately be missed. I always loved watching Hee Haw with my grandpa. I was only a child in those days. The show was really funny, and played good music too.

The show was really funny, and played good music too.Wow--that's exactly the same for me. Some of my earliest memories are of curling up on the livingroom couch with Grampa and watching Hee Haw. Never liked Owens much (sorry!) but I loved the show. If it came out on DVD, I'd buy the whole collection.

You can get reruns on DVD now. I saw a commercial for them a while back on CMT. But I couldn't tell you how to order them. You might could go to CMTs web site and find out from there.
