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. ...

What do you get when you take a beatnik, (or a post-beatnik), put a cowboy hat on him, and get him in touch with the Bakersfield sound history, and genre?  Give up? You get a Bucknick!  Buck's Bunkhouse is a new virtual retro Kern County country rock coffee house blog series at: ...

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...

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...

This song was inspired by Lloyd Reading's Tuesday evening visit to my home recording studio, The BuckarooM, and by my first exposure to John Mellancamp's new CD.  I listened to it on my way to work this morning, and found that it to be quite an inspiration.  This song will be...

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...

It's not a rumor.  It falls under the category of "truism."  One would think it would be a rumor, considering that they, along with the Dusk Devils, are at the helm of an underground Bakersfield Sound-based bakobilly revolution.    But it's...
