I love the Bakersfield sound and Buck Owens so this is a book I'd probably enjoy. Just as much, if not more so, I'd be interested in learning more about Don Rich, Owens' right hand man. What a fantastic talent he was!
If you don't already know them you should check out The Derailers. They were a great band that fully embraced the Bakersfield sound. Their best years were 1995-2003 when founding member Tony Villanueva was still part of the group. They even released an album titled, "Under The Influence Of Buck".
I just now saw this reply. There's a lot of good stuff about Don Rich in the Buck 'Em book. I'll have to check out The Derailers!
Also, just finished reading 'Skydog: The Duane Allman Story' by Randy Poe. It's a great biography of Duane Allman, and a good history of the Allman Brothers Band.
