Buck Owens is the debut album on Capitol Records by Buck Owens, released in 1961. It would mark the beginning of a long association for Owens with producer Ken Nelson.

In his Allmusic review, critic Cub Koda wrote of the CD reissue "Featuring Owens' early development of the Bakersfield sound... Transfers are astonishingly crisp and clear, showing producer Ken Nelson's touch to good advantage. The sound that became the legend starts right here." - Wikipedia

Bon dia! Y hoy aprovechando la comida del día de #Yule, lamentablemente #SolInvicto tapado por las nubes, escuchemos al magnífico guitarrista Grady Martin y su conjunto llamado Winging Strings en la composición del propio Martin y Hank Garland, otro que tal anda(ba), 'Pork Chop Stomp' de 1954.

Musical Interlude: Joshua Hedley just released his new album, "All Hat." He's one of the few country artists I follow, largely because of his experimental and retro style. His first album, "Mr. Jukebox," was a tribute to 60s country; his second, "Neon Blue," was 90s-style, and now "All Hat" is a tribute Western swing. It's fun and lighthearted, a rarity today.

"All Hat (No Cattle)," performed by Joshua Hedley.

“Real country – plain and simple.”

George Strait releases his debut album on September 4, 1981. The record launched his legendary career and many call it a key album in the neo-traditional country movement that countered the pop-country trends of the time. George came 'round just in time.

I've been listening to KPHT-LP #radio a lot lately. Good mix of dumb #CountryMusic comedy, #WesternSwing, #Blues, country #rock, trucker and CB radio songs, and more. I've heard everything from Jerry Reed to Cab Calloway.

I was worried about their politics until they played a Jim Hightower segment, so they seem to lean left.
