.http://www.idgoBack.comBuck Owens changed the face of countrymusic.He took it to the masses,with his electrified "Bakersfield Sound".The musical instruments associated with the Bakersfield Sound invariably included the Fender Telecaster, a solid-body electric guitar created in the 1940s by Leo Fender. The "Telly" gave Owens' music a distinctively raw edge. Part of it was studio technique: Owens seemed to reproduce better on monophonic AM radio than many country contemporaries because, in the studio, he turned up the treble and cut back on the bass. It was a perfect formula for the single-speaker car radios in all those Ford Fairlanes and Dodge Darts.Of equal importance was the treatment of Bakersfield musicians in the recording studio. Nashville producers insisted that recording stars use studios musicians from a limited stable of technically skilled individuals. But Bakersfield stars like Owens and Haggard used their own bands when they recorded on the West Coast, eliminating the sameness of many Nashville-produced records.The status quoNashville record producers of that era had been heavily influenced by the Big Band sound of the previous decade, and in some cases had helped mold that sound themselves. As a result, the Nashville Sound, largely created by guitarist-producer Chet Atkins, came to represent a warm, rich sound often textured with soft horns, soothing strings and lush backing vocals.When Elvis Presley arrived on the music scene in the mid-1950s, Nashville reacted by moving away from the rockabilly influences that had always loitered on its fringes. Violins were in; twang was out.But not in Bakersfield. Starting with "You're for Me," in 1961, Buck Owens and Don Rich put to vinyl a clean, clear sound that hit listeners, as Owens liked to say, "hard as a freight train."At about the same time, rock 'n' roll got sappy. Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard and the Everly Brothers gave way to pop crooners like Pat Boone and Frankie Avalon. Rather than pushing the record-buying public toward rock 'n' roll, as Nashville might have feared, Owens seemed to start bringing former rockers into the country fold. The result: a thriving national market for country music, largely centered in Bakersfield, with Buck Owens sitting squarely in the leadership role.
