Buck Owens, with partner Don Rich on guitar and backing vocals, from 1966:
The Bakersfield sound, in all its twangy glory – a reaction to the slick string-orchestra Nashville sound of the day. Buck and Merle Haggard were the big movers.
Intro by an unctuous Jimmy Dean, a Country singer in his own right, who went on to form the Jimmy Dean Sausage Company – the "Pure Pork Sausage" – in 1969.
Buck Owens previously, with Together Again.
