I asked, and they graciously and enthusiastically agreed to host BAKERSFIELD'S NEXT BUCK TALENT CONTEST.  I am humbled and honored by their hospitality.  I've always said that, as it pertains to the Bakersfield sound, if lightening strikes twice, Trout's will be the lightening rod that...

Welcome to Bakersfield Sound Trivia Quest.  I'm Dr. BLT and I'll be your host.  The link to this "hick" hop song, from the CD, Confessions of a Buckaholic, by yours truly, got it's first internet hit in 2006.  It's called BYOB.  http://www.drblt.net Now,...

The remix features my brother, Brad, member of a bluegrass band in Slovakia, and my daughter on keyboards, at the age of 2 (she's 3 now).  Tell me where my daughter comes in (at the beginning, the middle, or the very end of the song, and win an autographed copy of the CD upon which the song...

The first two questions are contained in the subject line. Now, you'll need a hint to answer the first one: Where was this photo taken? (hint: it's owned by the father of the band member whose dad is Buck Owens and it contains horses and dinosaurs). but to win your copy of my...

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...
