The BuckarooM is a little home studio of mine that I named after Buck Owens. It's where humble rough cuts are born, a few of which end up sounding like big-time studio recordings, not because of my engineering skills, but simply by accident.
Accidents are a recording purist's worst...

The significance of The Buck Owens Studios Farewell Session, lies not in the fact that it was the last solo project to be completed at the old Buck Owens Studios (which became Fat Tracks, and then Pig Studio). Moreover, it matters not that I was the solo artist who recorded the last solo...

Welcome to Ferlin Husky's Freudian Slips. I'm your host, Dr. BLT. Today we're taking a closer look at the lyrics to a great Ferlin Husky song, written by Fred Rose. You might say it's a song about the thorns that come with the roses of love.
Afraid to tell you how much I...

No, it wasn't recorded "live" in a Pennsylvania bar, but it was in my imagination. In reality, it was rather roughly recorded and mixed in the "BuckarooM" at my house. In my world of blog n roll, I supply the topic and the tune.
Today's tune is a...

I didn't catch his name, so I just call him 37 Cent. I was driving on the way to work yesterday. As I pulled up to the intersection of Buck Owens Boulevard and 24th, just off of the freeway, I saw this man, gave him a buck (no pun intended) and asked him if I could take his picture so...

I felt like I was treading on holy ground. After catching the announcement on the Bakotopia blog about the jam session/songwriter's workshop at Trout's, I said to myself, "Why not?" and headed over there on Monday, April 14.
I was directed down this rickety old staircase...

If Jerry's Trout Pizza ever catches on, I want to be one of the delivery boys.
In my humble opinion, the Bakersfield music scene is struggling to find itself, after a post-Bakersfield-Sound-post-Korn identity crisis. In my opinion, there exists a collosal generation...

Step right up, come on in
If you'd like to take the grand tour
Of a lonely house that once was home sweet home
I have nothing here to sell you
Just some things that I will tell you
Some things I know will chill you to the bone
There's no way of making grief feel good, but the best way to...

Let's continue to start a conversation about a conversation about race. Today we're trying to figure out what Obama meant when he mentioned the "typical white guy."

This will be done with Ferlin Husky songs I've never heard before, so it should be an interesting experiment. All of my experiments are done for the sake of finding a brand new Bako sound. Many of my experiments in the past have flopped, so attend this FEARLESS FERLIN FEVER...

That would be my prediction. It may be old, but I believe it's the new Blackboard. It even houses a new Blackboard stage.
Trout's is fertile ground for a Bakersfield Sound revival and a spawning of a whole new generation to move the Bakersfield Sound movement forward.
