 If you weren't in the buckarooM last night for this historic recording session, you missed out.  Then again, though I love the public, the event was closed to the public. But that doesn't mean you can't go underground and hear a sample of the rough mix of Short Season of Love, the new...

A new bako sound, future AmeriKERNa classic?  You'll decide.  I'll abide.              What this Country Means to Me Dr BLT hardly a day goes by when I don't play a song by old Merle Haggard and his boys hardly a night goes by when a ...

Mr. Lloyd Reading, formerly of the Bob Manning Trio and the Blackboard Playboys, is helping to bridge the Bakersfield sound generation gap, by joining a couple of younger Bakersfield-sound-rooted songwriters with a song that pays tribute to the Blackboard, the very plays he...

I'm going to be hanging out at Trout's over the next few weeks fishing for these Kern County country stars of the Bakersfield sound genre.  Or, Sonny, if you're out there, have your people call my lack of people.  The same goes for you, Red!

He's one of the last of the Bakersfield sound stars still living, breathing and walking the Streets of Bakersfield.  He still plays at Trout's every weekend. His name is Sonny Langley. Unless you've heard him play, you've never really experienced a Sonny Night.

I had to pinch myself in the BuckarooM last night to find out if I was really in the middle of producing this haunted, romantic ballad by rising nu bako sound artist, Hank Ray, or if it was a dream.  As it turned out, it was a dream, but a dream come true.

Hank Ray was over in the BuckarooM last night for a single-question interview that doubled as the song you are hearing right now.  I was a bit circumlocutory in asking the question, but he didn't beat around the bush at all.  You'll have to wait until the end of the song to hear his...

It looks like, so far, the news on the review front is good for the last solo project to emerge from the closing doors of the old Buck Owens recording studios.  For those following such reviews, here's the latest, this one by a music critic I have great respect for---Michael Dalton. Here is...

It's rooted in the past.  It's grounded in the Bakersfield Sound.  It's symbolically represented by the changing of the guard, or the passing of the torch from the Bakersfield sound generation to generations of younger artists and fans. It's hard to define.  Some terms I've come...

If you haven't gone underground lately, you're missing out on some exciting action, like my recent interview with Hot Rod of FattKatt and the VonZippers.  Along with Dusk Devils, this local act is on the cutting edge of the burgeoning Bakersfield-sound-grounded bakobilly movement. ...

Were you an adolescent that went astray, like Merle Haggard did?  Are you the parent of a child that took the wrong road? If you have a story to tell about how you turned it all around, tell it here, at the site of this brand new song.  Here are the lyrics, the recording is in the...

  There's Lloyd Reading, there's Homer Joy, there's Red Simpson, there's Billy Mize, there's Sonny Langley, just to name a few of the local living legends of the Bakersfield sound genre.  My question to those who are familiar with these cats and their Kern County country music, is...

Here's another rough cut from the BuckarooM.  I warn you, this one's real rough.  I wrote and recorded it this morning, after local living legend, Lloyd Reading visited my home, and my home studio, last night for some filming and song collaboration.  There's more on Bakersfield's...
