After viewing & hearing some YouTube postings of the Buckaroos (the classic version), I realized how much I miss them. Tom & Don made that sound. Buck had a gold mine there.

Things started to shift considerably after Brumley left. Buck was already moving away from some of the forumlas that the Buckaroos had used for years. And you point out a big thing, we can't underestimate the chemistry that occurs between players that make up a unique unit. Doyle's vocal cuts were something that were special. "Abilene" comes to mind, from the incredible I Don't Care LP. Willy Cantu's drumming was unique as well. Buck had a thing for a while where it was kind of out there that he was the one who taught Rich how to play guitar, Don being a fiddler primarily before then. Don Rich had been playing six string since he was 5 years old, and while lots of those signature lick's were Buck's, Don had a style that was mean and twangy. Boy, did he and Brumley sound good together.

I miss them too, for all the same reasons. I think it will be a long, long time if ever, before that sound comes back around. At least it was recorded for posterity.   |
