Rich first played lead guitar on “Act Naturally” in 1963. Rich learned Owens’ high-octane guitar style and shifted to lead guitar - allowing Owens to concentrate on singing. At the time, Owens played a Fender Telecaster and worked dates with pick-up bands. Owens saw him play in Tacoma and hired him to play fiddle. As a teenager, he formed a rock ’n’ roll band. Rich, whose last name was actually Ulrich, was born in Olympia, Wash., in 1941 and was a child prodigy on violin. As a songwriter, singer, bandleader and lead guitarist, he was hugely influential. Owens’ history and biography is well-known, but Rich, who died young (at 33) has been tragically overlooked. The new releases are Don Rich Sings George Jones and Honky Tonk Man: Buck Owens Sings Country Classics. (The Capitol building, built to resemble a giant stack of 45 RPM records, is still there.)

They had their own country music cathedral in the TV program The Buck Owens Ranch Show, they had many clubs and casinos to play in the West and they had Capitol Records in the fabulous round building at Hollywood and Vine with the great record producer Ken Nelson ready to record them. Truth be told, they didn’t need Music City. ’s revolutionary bluegrass music in the late 1940s was described as “folk music in overdrive,” Buck and Don’s Bakersfield Sound could be seen as country music at warp speed. Like Mick and Keith and John and Paul, they finished each other’s sentences and songs and had the same sort of hotwiring on the same brain wavelength. Nobody rocked country back then like Buck and Don.Īnd theirs was a great man-man friendship, back when the insipid term “bromance” didn’t exist. Buck OwensĪnd Don Rich were the Mick Jagger and Keith Richards of country, the original Telecaster cowboys from Bakersfield. It’s very fitting that two new solo albums are being released from the Glimmer Twins of country music.
