Podcasts about Buck Owens

On this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with Chris Malpass of The Malpass Brothers for a conversation about traditional country music, brother harmony, gospel, and the music that Chris and his brother Taylor have carried with them since they were kids.A big part of our conversation centers on their gospel project Satisfied and why making the album felt less like exploring new territory and more like coming home. Chris and Taylor started out singing gospel music when they were young, and many of these songs have been part of their musical vocabulary for years. We talk about working with Ben Isaacs, his role in shaping the project, and why recording it in front of a live audience captured something that would have been difficult to recreate in a studio.Chris also talks about The Malpass Brothers' relationship with Gaither Music and what it means to become part of an organization they grew up watching with their family. We get into the natural connection between traditional country and gospel music, from The Louvin Brothers and Merle Haggard to Buck Owens, Ernest Tubb, and the Happy Goodman Family. For Chris, those traditions aren't separate worlds. They have always informed one another.We also spend time talking about one of my favorite parts of The Malpass Brothers' sound: Chris and Taylor's harmony. Chris explains how naturally their vocal chemistry developed, why The Louvin Brothers became such an important influence, and how being siblings creates a musical connection that can be difficult to manufacture.Along the way, we remember the great Jimmy Capps, talk about the upcoming season of The Malpass Brothers Show, a traditional country Christmas album, another appearance at the Grand Ole Opry, and a busy touring schedule. At the center of it all is a deep respect for the people and music that came before them — and a desire to keep those songs alive without turning them into museum pieces.Key TakeawaysSatisfied represents a return to The Malpass Brothers' musical roots. Chris and Taylor performed gospel music as kids, making the project feel like a homecoming rather than a stylistic departure.Ben Isaacs helped shape the album while allowing Chris and Taylor to remain themselves. His suggestions included “Sheltered in the Arms of God” and Johnny Cash's “Ragged Old Flag,” while encouraging the brothers to interpret the material in their own style.Recording the project live was essential to its character. Chris believes the shared connection between the performers, songs, and audience created an emotional quality that would have been difficult to reproduce in the studio.Country and gospel have always shared musical and emotional territory. Chris sees both traditions as music about real life — hardship, redemption, faith, struggle, and the things people hold onto when life gets difficult.Brother harmony developed naturally for Chris and Taylor. Their musical communication goes back to childhood, when Taylor began singing harmony with Chris without the two of them ever formally planning it.The Louvin Brothers remain a foundational influence. Chris points not only to Charlie and Ira Louvin's harmony, but also their songwriting, gospel recordings, country recordings, and instrumental sound as an enduring model.Respect for musical history remains central to The Malpass Brothers. Whether talking about Jimmy Capps, Leon Rhodes, the Happy Goodman Family, Merle Haggard, or the Grand Ole Opry, Chris still approaches the people and traditions that shaped him with genuine admiration.Songs from the EpisodeSatisfied - The Malpass BrothersAbout the PodcastThe Bandwich Tapes is a podcast about the people who make music and the experiences that shape them.

Today's guest is the drummer who took punk out of the garage, put it on your radio, then on MTV, then on your body. But his real story isn't the discography. It's what he did with everything that was supposed to end him.From a four-piece kit in Fontana to the center of the album cover, Travis carries three things simultaneously that most musicians never figure out how to hold at once: the craft of writing a drum part as a hook — singing it in his head before his hands ever get there; the conviction that no genre gets to own him, and no one else gets to write his ending; and the contrarian edge to ban Auto-Tune, editing, and drum samples from his own studio at the exact moment the rest of the industry is sprinting toward machine-clean.And The Writer Is...

On this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with Johnny Owens for a thoughtful conversation about carrying one of country music's most important legacies into a new generation. As the son of Buck Owens, Johnny has embraced the responsibility of preserving the Bakersfield Sound while creating a live show that celebrates not only the music, but also the memories that come with it.We talk about why classic country music continues to resonate with audiences decades after it was first recorded. Johnny shares how his concerts combine the songs of Buck Owens, Merle Haggard, Dwight Yoakam, and Hee Haw memories into an experience that reconnects people with important moments from their own lives. For him, success isn't measured by chart positions—it's measured by the stories people tell after the show.Our conversation also explores the unique history of the Bakersfield Sound and what separated it from Nashville's polished productions. Johnny reflects on Buck Owens' partnership with Don Rich, the influence of Fender Telecasters, the storytelling traditions of artists like Merle Haggard and Marty Robbins, and why today's younger artists seem to be rediscovering traditional country music.Along the way, we discuss Buck Owens' relationship with The Beatles, the enduring popularity of “Act Naturally,” Johnny's new recordings of classic Buck Owens songs, and why kindness, humility, and appreciation for audiences remain at the center of everything he does. It's a conversation about legacy, gratitude, and the timeless power of songs that tell honest stories.Key TakeawaysJohnny Owens sees preserving the Bakersfield Sound as both an honor and a responsibility to his father's legacy.His concerts focus on creating memories by combining Buck Owens, Merle Haggard, Dwight Yoakam, and Hee Haw into an entertaining live experience.Johnny believes genuine appreciation for fans is one of the defining qualities shared by country music's greatest artists.We explore the musical differences between the Bakersfield Sound and the Nashville Sound, and why traditional country storytelling continues to endure.Johnny shares the fascinating story behind The Beatles' recording of “Act Naturally” and their admiration for Buck Owens.His new music includes fresh recordings of “Act Naturally,” “Together Again,” an upcoming Christmas release of “Santa Looked a Lot Like Daddy,” and a full-length album planned for release.Music from the EpisodeAct Naturally - Johnny OwensAbout the PodcastThe Bandwich Tapes is a long-form interview podcast where I sit down with musicians, songwriters, producers, and music industry professionals to explore the stories behind the music.

This week on Backstory Sessions: Conversations with Creatives, we welcome Johnny Owens, son of country music legend Buck Owens.   Johnny takes us behind the famous name to share memories of Buck as a father, the extraordinary musical legacy he left behind, and what it means to carry that legacy forward nearly 20 years after his passing.   We also talk about the 60th anniversary of the iconic Live From Carnegie Hall album and Johnny's new recording of a song forever connected to the Owens legacy — “Act Naturally.”

Tonight, I have the privilege of talking with Johnny Owens, son of country music legend Buck Owens, for an in-depth conversation about one of the most influential figures in country music history. We'll take a deep dive into Buck Owens' remarkable career, the Bakersfield Sound that changed country music forever, the story behind the timeless classic “Act Naturally,” and Johnny's decision to record a brand-new version of the song, releasing tomorrow, August 7th! This year marks the 60th anniversary of The Buck Owens Show: Live at Carnegie Hall and the 20th anniversary of Buck Owens' passing, making this a special tribute to a man whose music continues to inspire generations. Whether you've been a Buck Owens fan for decades or you're discovering his music for the first time, I think you'll enjoy this conversation. Real stories. Real people. Real impact.

On this Make a Difference Minute, I have Johnny Owens, son of country music legend Buck Owens, as he reflects on his father's life, music, and the legacy he left behind. For Johnny, one word captures much of what mattered to his father: true. Buck Owens helped define the Bakersfield Sound, bringing a distinctive California edge to country music while remaining committed to what he believed country music should be. Johnny says his father appreciated many different kinds of music, but staying true to country remained at the heart of his work. That influence stretched far beyond Bakersfield. Buck's recording of “Act Naturally” became a country classic, and The Beatles later recorded the song with Ringo Starr singing lead, introducing it to another enormous audience. Decades later, Johnny still sees his father's influence in the music people are discovering, streaming, and making today. Songs like “Made in Japan” continue to connect with listeners and inspire artists who came long after Buck first recorded them. For Johnny, that's an important part of his father's legacy. Buck Owens knew his sound, believed in it, & stayed true to it. This MADM is brought to you by Singing River Dentistry, proudly supporting stories and the people who make our communities strong.

Buck Owens (August 12, 1929 – March 25, 2006), and Dwight Yoakam (b. October 23, 1956) :  two master navigators of a very unique tributary along the stream of popular music, inspired and learned from each other - one, being the progenitor of the "Bakersfield Sound", and the other his adopted musical progeny. "The Streets of Bakersfield," originally recorded by Buck Owens in 1973, was revived as a duet between the two men in 1988, becoming  a chart hit and a popular video.    Buck, whose career had gone dark after losing his friend and musical partner, Don Rich in 1974, was sparked back to life when Dwight came into his life.  Here Bill and Rich attempt to connect some of the musical catalogue and biographical dots  of these two musical giants.

This week's show peels back the velvet curtain of the Golden Age of Country music and introduces some lower chart shed shakers from the outskirts of Nashville. While the charts were full of polished crooners and weeping violins, there was a different sound brewing in and around the perimeter—a raw, frantic energy that didn't belong in a ballroom. These are the tracks that blurred the line between the honky-tonk and the garage. We'll deliver the distorted side of that golden age with some familiar names (Buck Owens, Jerry Reed, Johnny Bond) and some of those who were lost to those dusty Ernest Tubb Record Shop dollar bins (Eddie Zack, Jimmy Swan, Benny Barnes), all  in a package meant to get those fingers poppin'. Hope you can join us for some gritty, low-fi country vibes.

On todays Wayback Machine Monday, Ray takes us back to some country-ish inspired tunes from the 60s. We'll hear hits from Johnny Cash, Buck Owens, Jeannie C. Riley, and many more!

Los Angeles, California's J MAU & THE KISS OFF emerge from what they lovingly call their “beloved hellhole” with their debut single “Poison,” out March 25. Founded in 2025 by Justin “J Mau” Maurer, longtime punk lifer and founder of Clorox Girls, Suspect Parts, L.A. Drugz, and Maniac, the project finds Maurer turning toward something darker and dustier without losing the bite that's always defined him. “Poison” is a cinematic honky tonk murder ballad filtered through decades of West Coast punk history. It's the first glimpse of a songwriter who's always followed the feeling, even when it led somewhere uncomfortable. Maurer's story isn't mythology. It's messy and real. A CODA raised between Los Angeles and Bainbridge Island by a single Deaf mother, American Sign Language was his first language. Punk became his second. After surviving a turbulent childhood and helping put his abusive father in jail as a teenager, Maurer found autonomy in the underground. By fifteen he was booking shows and touring. By twenty he was releasing records and circling the globe with Clorox Girls. Along the way he built a parallel career as one of the country's most respected ASL interpreters, working alongside prominent political figures like Michelle Obama, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Gavin Newsom, Kamala Harris, and Joe Biden, stage interpreting for punk legends like Alice Bag and The Avengers, interpreting Deaf actor Troy Kotsur's historic 2022 Academy Award acceptance speech, and appearing with Kotsur on Curb Your Enthusiasm. His life has always moved between worlds. After stints living in Madrid, London, and Baja California, and in the wake of a divorce that leveled him, Maurer found himself flat on his back in an East Hollywood apartment, cowboy boots still on, old country records spinning. Hank Williams. Buck Owens. Merle Haggard. Gram Parsons. Kris Kristofferson. Townes Van Zandt. He finally understood it. “Real country music is poetry,” Maurer says. “It's about failure, heartbreak, and the tragic human condition. Music to laugh and cry and live and die by.” That rock-bottom clarity led him to write “Poison.” Recorded at Savannah Studios in Boyle Heights with Ignacio “Iggy” Gonzalez and backed by Patrick “Butterworth” Vasquez and Kevin “Quake” Milner, the track moves like a slow-burning reckoning. Acoustic strum, restrained rhythm, and a haunted vocal that feels equal parts confession and warning. From his window in Pico Union, Maurer could hear children playing at the elementary school across the street. Listening to old country compilations full of doomed protagonists, he imagined himself as a man on the run whose days were numbered, watching that schoolyard and knowing he might never see it again. That's where the line came from: “When will you see the children play / You never will again.” The refrain doesn't comfort you. It circles back like a hard truth you can't shake: “It's got a way / That poison's got a way / It's got a say / It's got the final say.” The single arrives with an 8mm-shot video co-directed by Maurer's former MANIAC bandmate Zache Davis and Marta Ribate Gracia-Davis. Grainy, sun-bleached, and edited with a careful hand, it plays like a spaghetti western fever dream, a corrido where the protagonist must confront how he'll be remembered before the end comes calling. The artwork, designed by longtime collaborator Matthew “Snake” Davis, leans into vintage flash tattoo skulls and silent-film menace.

THREE WOMEN explores love, betrayal, and the complexities of family against the backdrop of the country western music scene. The story follows Billy, a country star portrayed by composer and lyricist Ted Zurkowski, returning to Nashville after a grueling nationwide tour—only to find his carefully constructed life beginning to unravel. As long-buried secrets surface, the line between humor and heartbreak blurs, revealing the consequences of his impulsive choices. Caught between his wife Bonnie, the reserved Lady, and the free-spirited Ruby, Billy spirals through emotional turmoil that feels both intimate and explosive. With its rich storytelling and original score, the production echoes the spirit of classic country legends like Waylon Jennings, Tammy Wynette, and Buck Owens.Ted Zurkowski, the creative force behind THREE WOMEN, is a seasoned artist with a rich background in music and theater. As the frontman for the rock band Honey West and a Lifetime Member of The Actors Studio, Zurkowski brings a wealth of experience to this project. His previous works, including the critically acclaimed comedy farce COLLEGE FUN, have established him as a significant voice in contemporary theater.

Back in the Tin Pan Alley (and Brill Building) days there were song-pluggers, and there were vocalists, and never the twain met, but this symbiotic relationship formed the successful division of labor for the great American capitalist record business. Whether they be based in NY, LA, or Nashville successful songwriters rarely had hits recording their own material. Hard to believe that it took Willie Nelson so many years to be recognized as his own best interpreter. Of course, that now seems ludicrous, given Willie's status as “national treasure”.  Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra and the like had their go-to writers and arrangers, Phil Spector, Don Kirschner and others kept their stable of regular creatives like Carole King and Gerry Goffin in little cubicles laboring to churn out dozens of standards weekly for their employer's contracted recording artists.  But, just like any actor worth his salt in Hollywood will tell you: “without good writing, you ain't got shit”Two of Country Music's most covered songwriters are being honored here today, singing for you in their own voices: Guy Clark, doing “That Old Time Feeling”, and Harlan Howard performing “Heartaches by the Number.” These are craftsmen, whose practical, raw boned approach to their art yielded glittering treasures. HARLAND HOWARD (1927-2002)Harland Howard wrote over 4000 songs, 100 of which made the top ten Country charts. He was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters and Country Music Halls of Fame. There are tribute albums of his songs by Buck Owens, Waylon Jennings and Wille Nelson. He wrote I Fall to Pieces for Patsy Cline, Busted, made famous by Ray Charles, and the monster hit - I got a Tiger by the Tail for Buck Owens. Here he is singing Heartaches by the Number, which a cursory dip into YouTube reveals covers by Ray Price, Dwight Yoakam, Guy Mitchell, Leon Russell, Paul Carrack and Kitty Wells, among others. There are no frills here, but I contend that hearing the voice of the man who created the song is a more personal experience, like someone reading you their diary.GUY CLARK (1941-2016)The ultimate example of an unsung (pun intended) man of influence is “Old No. 1,” the luthier's luthier, Guy Clark. His Texas home-workshop was the Austin epicenter of the Outlaw Country Movement that transformed Country Music. Watch the scene from the documentary Heartworn HIghway with Steve Earle and Rodney Crowell sitting around Guy's kitchen table, trading songs. Townes Van Zandt may have been the most elusive doomed romantic poet of that group, but it was Guy they studied with and trusted - the one they could depend on, the Zen Master of song.And, what songs! They are like short stories, full of vivid characters, evocative dialogue, and carefully observed detail. Songs like Desperadoes Waiting for a Train, L.A. Freeway, My Favorite Picture of You (for his late wife Susanna - the magnetic beauty patiently putting up with the Outlaw's shenanigans). Today, he favors us with That Old Time Feeling, a tune that insinuates itself into your consciousness through a stream of unforgettable images. 

Sophie Gault's third studio album Unhinged dropped in early February of this year. But the singles rolled out as the record came to fruition and had already sold it for those familiar with her. The fiery guitar player and honky tonk songstress's performance on the album mirrored its title. This record was Sophie being the Sophie people are used to seeing rattling the windows at bars and clubs around Nashville. Gault joined Frank and Falls for this week's episode of Roots Music Rambler to talk about the album, produced by her manager Alex Torres, whose indy label picked Gault up after her original label decided to move on without her. With a nice mix of originals and cover tunes, including a banger with Buck Owens's “Loves Gonna Live Here” which leads the track list, the record is fun, vibrant and, at times, raw, conveying Gault's playing style and personality We also talked about Gault's journey to music, growing up in the Maryland suburbs of Washington, D.C., her collaborations with friends of the show Margo Cilker, Gabe Lee and Logan Ledger, and why she says her track with Gurf Morlix is the first of what should be many covers of his songs.  Also in this episode, Frank and Falls discuss the new protest song from Bruce Springsteen and share their weekly Pickin' the Grinnin' choices. Frank recommends “Can't Find Your Way Out” by The Franklin Electric. Falls shares an EP he's been digging lately: Arthur Hancock's Alive at Hillbilly Central.  Watch the Episode on YouTube Download the episode and subscribe at rootsmusicrambler.com, watch the full episode on YouTube, or download wherever you get your podcasts.  Also be sure to help spread the love of the show with Roots Music Rambler's new merch, now available at rootsmusicrambler.com/store.

In this episode, Joe Spann and I dive deep into the legacy of Don Rich and one of the most fascinating lost instruments in Fender history, his 1964 Gold Sparkle Fender Custom Telecaster.Joe breaks down exactly how Fender created the Gold Sparkle finish using crushed mirror material, why it was so visually striking under stage lights, and how unusual the process was for the era. We also discuss the many Buck Owens hits Don Rich recorded while using this Telecaster, and how central it was to his tone, image, and the Bakersfield sound.Finally, we explore the leading theories behind how the guitar disappeared, when it was last seen, why it was likely never recovered, and what makes it one of the great “what if” stories in vintage guitar history.This is a deep-dive into Don Rich's influence, Fender's experimental finishes, and one legendary Telecaster that vanished without a trace.Support the show

Free form sounds are the order of the morning as we set sail for a two hour tour of sounds from the last century once more, leaning on a pretty exciting group of performers. You can tune in each and every Friday morning here on KOWS-LP Occidental where our word is our bond. Join Dave Stroud once again as he shares a selection of tunes by the Zion Harmonizers, Buck Owens, Mink Deville, Johnny Burnette, and Kay Kyser. It's a fun mix of genres…some from the American Songbook, some from Bourbon Street, some from the Brill Building and a blend from the farther reaches. Tune in for a delightful Friday clamoring from Occidental's own station.

Beloved Australian songwriter Paul Kelly has just turned 70 – “it sounds Biblical, threescore years and ten.” He looks back here at the road he took to get there, from early days in Adelaide to the pub circuit to his catalogueof stirring and eloquent songs about the big issues of life and love, as Neil Finn says, “with not a trace of pretence or fakery”. You'll find … … the moment he felt he'd arrived … the story of How To Make Gravy – “a Christmas song with no chorus about a man in prison” – and Rita Wrote A Letter, its ghostly sequel … early records he loved – Tommy Roe, Peter Paul & Mary, Yes, Deep Purple, Frank Zappa, the “chaotic” Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong … life on the Melbourne pub circuit playing Neil Young, Gram Parsons and Hank Williams … touring with Leonard Cohen – “a masterclass in performance, like a prayer, a ritual, like a Vaudevillian Rabbi” .. the storytelling songs of the Stanley Brothers, the Louvin Brothers and Buck Owens ... the great Calypso cricket tradition and the track he wrote about Shane Warne … “the odd-sock drawer”: the file in his computer where he stores early sketches … I'm In Love With A Blue Frog, the five chords that underpinned 50 years of songwriting! … the intricacy of Neil Finn's impressionistic lyrics … and the things you hear in your songs when someone else sings them.

The Fender Vintera II LE Road Worn '60s Telecaster might be one of the best bang-for-your-buck guitars Fender has released in years. For the first time, Fender has made a maple-cap neck '60s style Telecaster available at an accessible price point.The maple-cap neck is a big deal in Telecaster history. Legendary players like Cornell Dupree, Brent Mason, Bobby Womack, Brad Paisley, Don Rich, and Buck Owens all made their mark with maple-cap Teles, and now Fender has finally delivered that vintage vibe in a guitar most players can actually afford.With its blonde finish, road-worn relic treatment, and authentic '60s specs, this Tele feels and sounds like a much more expensive vintage-style instrument. In this video, I put it through its paces, share tones, and explain why this release is such a milestone for Tele fans.Support the show

We open with the classic harmonies of Johnny and Jack on Smiles and Tears (Decca), then move into Stonewall Jackson's heart-wrenching Torn From The Pages Of Life (Columbia). The softer side of country shows up in Bill Wesley's dreamy While She's Dreaming (Great) and Ira Louvin's haunting You're Looking For An Angel (Capitol). Rounding out the first stretch, Carl Smith keeps it steady with It's All Right (Columbia).The mood shifts with deep cuts like Rusty Adams' Turn Around Heartache (Jed) and Red Sovine's thoughtful Sittin' And Thinkin' (Starday). We get a fiddle showcase from Vassar Clements on There'll Be No Teardrops Tonight (Flying Fish), paired with Jimmie Skinner's gritty Yesterday's Wrongs (Starday) and Gene Henslee's slice-of-life ballad A Heck Of A Life (Brownsfield).Then it's on to the rare finds—Rod Bain's Holding Trouble Again (Chart), Buford Kegley's These Are The Things (Princess), and Big Bill Johnson's soulful Blame Loneliness (Blue Angel). Add in Tom Harvey's social reflection It's The Shape The World's In (New Star), before Hank Cochran brings it home with One Night For Willie (Dot).Finally, we close strong with heavyweights: Buck Owens delivers In The Palm Of Your Hand (Capitol), Floyd Tillman charms on Let's Make Memories Tonight (Cimarron), Bobby Barnett digs deep with Rise And Fall Of A Man (K-Ark), Cal Smith leaves us misty with Tear Stained Pillow (Plaid), and John Eanes wraps it all up on a bluesy note with Blue Sunday (Starday).Johnny And Jack - Smiles And Tears ( Decca )Stonewall Jackson - Torn From The Pages Of Life ( Columbia )Bill Wesley - While She's Dreaming ( Great )Ira Louvin - You're Looking For An Angel ( Capitol )Carl Smith - It's All Right ( Columbia )Rusty Adams - Turn Around Heartache ( Jed )Red Sovine - Sittin And Thinkin ( Starday )Vassar Clements - There'll Be No Teardrops Tonight ( Flying Fish )Jimmie Skinner - Yesterday's Wrongs ( Starday )Gene Henslee - A Heck Of A Life ( Brownsfield )Rod Bain - Holding Trouble Again ( Chart )Buford Kegley - These Are The Things ( Princess )Big Bill Johnson - Blame Loneliness ( Blue Angel )Tom Harvey - It's The Shape The World's In ( New Star )Hank Cochran - One Night For Willie ( Dot )Buck Owens - In The Palm Of Your Hand ( Capitol )Floyd Tillman - Let's Make Memories Tonight ( Cimarron )Bobby Barnett - Rise And Fall Of A Man ( K Ark )Cal Smith - Tear Stained Pillow ( Plaid )John Eanes - Blue Sunday ( Starday )Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/thehonkytonkjukebox/exclusive-content

Before the grunge movement of the 90's, and before the punk movement of the 70's, there was the garage band phenomenon of the 60's.  One of the forerunners of both punk and grunge from this garage band period is Tacoma Washington's The Sonics.  Their classic lineup consisted of Rob Lind on harmonica, vocals, and sax, Gerry Roslie on organ, piano, and lead vocals, Larry Parypa on lead guitar and vocals, Andy Parypa on bass, and Bob Bennett on drums.  The Sonics had a fast, hard-edged sound similar to The Kinks, and performed with a speed that would inspire punk rock.Boom is their second studio album from the band, released in February 1966.  As with many songs from the mid-60's, all the songs are short.  But with a non to the future punk movement, many songs are even shorter, clocking in at just over 2 minutes.  The Sonics take their name from Boeing, the aviation company also based in Tacoma.  The name of the album is likely a play on words for the "sonic boom," the thunderous sound produced by an aircraft exceeding the speed of sound.  The music on this album is energetic and abrasive, and while some fuzzy guitar distortion is included the overall feel is raw with little extra production.The classic lineup would fall apart by 1968, with members leaving to join other bands, attend college, or in saxophonist Rob Linds' case - become a fighter pilot in the Vietnam War.  Gerry Roslie would be the sole remaining original member with new members jumping in and out of the band until 1980.  Wayne brings us this forerunner of punk and grunge for this week's podcast. CinderellaThe lead-off song from the album was an original piece written by Gerry Roslie.  The lyrics relay a boy meeting a girl at a bar, having a great time drinking and dancing, and just when things start to get going well, the girl is gone by midnight.  He's Waitin'This song starts the B-side of the album, and was also a Gerry Roslie original.  This "boy loses girl" song is not a happy one!  The lyrics reflect the boy's thoughts on being burned by a girl.  Now he is telling her that Satan is waiting for her.  "It's too late, you lied, now you will fry." Louie, LouieRichard Berry wrote and performed this song in 1957 with The Pharaohs, and covers of this song are common with garage bands.  The Sonics' version is quite fast, and modifies the pronunciation from "Lou-ee Lou-ee" to "Lou-eye Lou-way" in the chorus.  It is hard to separate this song from the thoughts of fraternity parties and the comedy movie "Animal House." Shot DownThe song that closes out the album laments about striking out when approaching a girl.  "I play a guitar.  I even drive a brand new car.  Big man in town, I've been shot down."  ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Theme from the motion picture "The Rare Breed"This western starred James Stewart and Maureen O'Hara and was one of the first films scored by the now-legendary composer John Williams. STAFF PICKS:Crying Time by Ray CharlesBruce leads off the staff picks with the lead single and starting track to Ray Charles' album of the same name.  The song was originally performed by Buck Owens in 1964, and Charles kept the country feel while taking the cover to number 6 on the Billboard Hot 100.  He won the Grammy Awards in 1967 for Best R&B Recording and Best R&B Solo Performance for this track.It's a Man's Man's Man's World by James BrownLynch brings us a song that takes its name as a play on the name of a 1963 comedy film, "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World."  The minor key track has lyrics decrying the chauvinism of society where all the work of modern civilization are attributed to men, but it would all "mean nothing without a woman or a girl."  Brown recorded the song in only two takes, and it would become a staple of his live shows for the rest of his career.Secret Agent Man by Johnny RiversRob features a surf rock song originally developed as the opening intro to the U.S. spy television series "Secret Agent," which aired from 1964 to 1966. The ditty became popular, and Rivers developed it into a full single.  The song would go to number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming both a signature song for Rivers and a rock standard for future bands and shows.Lies by The KnickerbockersWayne's closes out the staff picks with a song from an American band deliberately trying to mimic the sound of a British Invasion song.  The trio harmonies definitely give it a Beatles quality.  As you might expect from the band name, the Knickerbockers got their start in New Jersey as a garage band.  The track came together in about a half hour. COMEDY TRACK:The One on the Right is On the Left by Johnny CashThis comedy song about a band with incompatible political leanings amongst its members takes us out for this week's podcast.

Gurdip's back!!! ...kinda? April Fools! Originally released back in May 2022 on our Patreon, Gurdip demanded to have his say about Terry Stafford and his famous cover of "Suspicion," so Justin obliged and they sat down not just with the single, but Terry's full 1964 album. Released on the Crusader Records label to capitalize on Stafford's surprise Top 5 success with his hit recording of the same name, "Suspicion" featured an array of Elvis-likes from original Brill Building songwriters behind some of Elvis's early '60s material, including Doc Pomus, Ben Weisman, Fred Wise, and Sid Wayne. As you'll hear, evidence strongly suggests that many, if not all, of the songs included were pitched to Elvis for consideration, with several even getting recorded.  Justin also guides us a little further past the album to Stafford's post-Suspicion career, including later singles and more significantly as a songwriter himself, with such hits as Buck Owens' "Big in Vegas" and George Strait's "Amarillo by Morning." Joe W. Specht's short-but-thorough biography "The Life and Music of Terry Stafford" was immensely helpful to finding more information on Stafford's story. It's available as of this posting through Texas State University's website here: https://digital.library.txstate.edu/handle/10877/7519 No foolin' - This "TCBCast Jukebox" is one of our all-time favorites we've done. If you enjoyed this, we've also done bonus episodes about Elvis's musical contemporaries such as Ann-Margret, Johnny Cash, Little Richard, Chuck Berry, The Platters, Dean Martin, Eddie Cochran, Gene Vincent, and many more, with more on the way as exclusive bonus content. Please consider joining up over at Patreon.com/TCBCast. Your support allows us to continue to provide thoughtful, provocative, challenging and well-researched perspectives on Elvis's career, his peers and influences, and his cultural impact and legacy. While we're out this week, Justin and Bec will be back next week with a discussion about "G.I. Blues" - revisiting it, its soundtrack and recording sessions for the first time since literally our third-ever episode of TCBCast!
