And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
That's Doyle Holly in the red checkered shirt right behind Buck. He had a few hits of his own. I tell people that Doyle Holly's "Richard and the Cadillac Kings" is all of Country Western rolled up into one song. Dangerous Don Rich really brought that Telecaster Twang to the forefront of Country Music.
Hee Haw!!!
ReplyDeleteThat was taken at Buck’s CA ranch in late 1966.

ReplyDeleteBack in my 20's, I absolutely hated C&W music. When I finally started thinking with my brain, I discovered that next to Doo-Wop, it was outstanding.
ReplyDeleteThat's back when country western was country. The crap that comes out of Nashville nowadays is 90% junk. Just my opinion.
ReplyDeleteAgree... The C&W oldies are the best...
DeleteBoys are looking to Get A Tiger by the Tail!
ReplyDeleteIt's plain to see .....
DeleteMy Dad used to say that Don Rich was the one with the most talent.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure Buck thought that too. I always thought Buck was just lost after Don died.
Deletethe man wrote hits and performed up close&personal to his audience at county fairs, etc.
ReplyDeleteDoo, doo, doo, lookin' out my back door.

Delete@anonymous @8:02 - I agree. I won't listen to country music released after 1969.
