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...

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...

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...

IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING---two generations, united by one sound, the Bakersfield sound.  Tonight, beginning at 7 pm, the man Hank Ray and I have named "Playbody Lloyd" in this co-written song of ours, will be joining us in an historic video-taped interview/recording session in my own...

As promised, I started a new series at Bakersfield Sound Underground today.  It's called Bakersfield Sound Garden.  It's where we take seeds from the old Bakersfield Sound "trees," that is, music of yore, that distinctly represents the Bakersfield Sound, and the spirit of...

I'm talking about the song, not an actual guitar, but if anybody has a Buck Owens red, white and blue guitar that they would like to auction off at the song's "live" debut, let me know. On July 4th from about 8 am to 10 pm, me and Hank Ray will be on the patio at...

This photo I took is not posted here to necessarily represent my preference.  I enjoy both and I need you to help me if I'm ever caught in this jam (pun wholly intended): It's a Saturday night.  There's a kick-ass country band playing at Trout's and there's one playing over at the...

It's good to be back on The Streets of Bakersfield Homer, Buck and Dwight made famous, but I sure had a great time travelling down the highways of mid-western Canada talking to Canadians and tourists from all around the world about the Bakersfield Sound.  This picture was taken on the way...

I'd like to take a moment to thank all of you for your patience.  I'm very aware of the increased demand for the Buck Owens Farewell Session CD since Channel 17 covered the CD release party on Saturday, 6/7/8.  We're doing our best to meet the increased demand, and the local record...

If you're a local act, and you either consider yourself hick hop, or have written and/or recorded some material that captures the flavor of this burgeoning fusion, have your posse get in touch with mine and we'll set up an interview or I'll write something up on you, as a solo artist, a band, a...
