| Ralph Mooney ? Jay McDonald? Tom Brumley? Jay Dee Maness, Jerry Brightman, or Terry Christofferson. |

Gotta say da Moon. His styling and tone were just great. 2nd would be Brumley. 3rd would be JD.

Despite my love and respect for all the Buckaroos, I will pick Tom as he covers a great period in Buck's sound and I love his showpiece tunes.
Jay Dee wasn't really around long enough to really make a presence on record, while Jerry Brightman came in while Buck was going in a more easy listening type sound, at least compared to his 1960s output. So I don't feel that the 1970s records are representative of how hot a band the Buckaroos still were, although the live stuff is always interesting no matter which version.

Tom Brumley because the sound I remember from Buck has Tom playing on there. Then Moon,JD, Jerry, and Terry in that order. They were all good we can all agree on that. But Buck's hottest period to me was with Tom so I guess that's who I identify with.

It'd have to be Ralph hands down! I love that old Mooney sound. You can't beat the stuff like....Excuse Me, I Think I Got a Heartache.....Under the Influence of Love....Close Up the Honky Tonks....Over and Over or any of those from that period. the Brumley stuff would be next. Tom was a little smoother sound and probably on more of the BIG hits but Ralph set the precedent for all the players that followed him. Technically I think JD might have been the most accomplished player of the lot but he wasn't there long enough to make an impression on Buck's sound which is too bad as he's one awesome player. I really loved Brumley's stuff with the Stone Canyon Band too.

While I have always loved Tommy Brumleys playing behind Buck, it is "Jay Dee Maness" that really peaked my interest on Buck's "Live at the London Paladium" album on "Together Again" and is the basis for my solo behind "Jean Shepard" when we do the same song at the Opry. There is just something about Jay's playing on that album that really caught my attention and also made me pay particular attention to him on Ray Steven's "Misty" and the "Desert Rose" stuff, too!
I heard Brumley play many times behind Buck and have always admired his tone and prowess, but my favorite Brumley solos are not even on a "Buck" album but instead on Rickey Nelson's "Garden Party" and Dwight Yokum's "I sang Dixie!"
And who could ever forget hearing "Moon" behind Waylon!
But my favorite "Buck" solo was actually on his bands album called "Buckaroos Boot Hill" on the cut "Cajun Steel!" By none other than Buddy Emmons....Go figure!
