This collection brings forth the Big Bang of Bakersfield country music. Bakersfield had a fertile country scene B. B. (before Buck Owens), but he put it on the map with an epochal string of Top Ten and no. 1 singles from 1959-1988, paving the way for fellow Bakersfielders Merle Haggard, Bonnie Owens and Red Simpson. Gram Parsons, the Beatles, the Desert Rose Band, John Fogerty, Emmylou Harris, Dwight Yoakam, Keith Whitley, the Derailers, Trace Adkins, Garth Brooks and Brad Paisley all drank deeply from Buck Owens' rhinestoned chalice.
