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.
