He was a big deal, though you could argue that a lot of it was his lead guitarist, Don Rich.

Kind of sad that Buck took Don's death so hard, then was reduced to that Hee Haw shtick as his legacy, in a lot of folks' mind.

Hee Haw was cooler than any music show ever. All them hicks and chicks popping up from the cornfield, sitting around pickin' guitars, playing jugband music on hay bales.

They drank moonshine and wore daisy dukes. Hee Haw was way cool.

Whenever I hear Buck or Merle I think of Wynn Stewart (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wynn_Stewart) who is criminally overlooked as not only sounding fantastic in his own right, but also for being the influence for the whole Bakersfield sound.

Buck Owens is the man. He put the west coast rebel C&W sound in the nations homes and motor vehicles.
