Buck Owens & His Buckaroos - Fallin' For You (1965)

Prime Bakersfield country with Don Rich's telecaster twang bringing the honky tonk.

This is the last #1 song for Buck featuring Don Rich. It was released in 1972. Two years later, in 1974, Don left a recording session in Bakersfield and was killed in a motorcycle accident.

No Telecaster has sounded the same since then.

SATURDAY MUSIC VIDEO MATINEE: “Act Naturally”—Singer-songwriter and comedian Johnny Russell came up with the early 60s Bakersfield country music scene—famously with Buck Owens, who hit the big-time after recording Johnny’s song “Act Naturally” (Buck’s smash single was released this month in 1963). In my video I tell the humorous and surprising “back story” of how that song wound its way through obstacles and objections before becoming a hit for Buck as well as Ringo Starr and The Beatles. It’s a lesson in sticking to your songwriting instincts even if it means breaking a hot date with your girlfriend!

Don Rich and The Buckeroos covering The Bands "Up On Cripple Creek". Rich was an integral part of Buck Owens' recordings and performance. Unfortunately he was killed in a motorcycle accident when he was only 32, and was thus denied the fame that would have surely come to him if he had lived longer. ________________________ Up On Cripple Creek Songwriter: Robbie Robertson

When I get off of this mountain, you know where I want to go? Straight down the Mississippi river, to the Gulf of Mexico To Lake Charles, Louisiana, little Bessie, girl that I once knew She told me just to come on by, if there's anything she could do

Up on Cripple Creek she sends me If I spring a leak she mends me I don't have to speak, she defends me A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one

Good luck had just stung me, to the race track I did go She bet on one horse to win and I bet on another to show The odds were in my favor, I had 'em five to one When that nag to win came around the track, sure enough she had won

Up on Cripple Creek she sends me If I spring a leak she mends me I don't have to speak, she defends me A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one

I took up all of my winnings, and I gave my little Bessie half She tore it up and threw it in my face, just for a laugh Now there's one thing in the whole wide world, I sure would like to see That's when that little love of mine, dips her doughnut in my tea

Up on Cripple Creek she sends me If I spring a leak she mends me I don't have to speak, she defends me A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one

Now me and my mate were back at the shack, we had Spike Jones on the box She said, "I can't take the way he sings, but I love to hear him talk" Now that just gave my heart a throb, to the bottom of my feet And I swore as I took another pull, my Bessie can't be beat

Up on Cripple Creek she sends me If I spring a leak she mends me I don't have to speak, she defends me A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one

Now there's a flood out in California and up north it's freezing cold And this living on the road is getting pretty old So I guess I'll call up my big mama, tell her I'll be rolling in But you know, deep down, I'm kind of tempted to go and see my Bessie again

Up on Cripple Creek she sends me If I spring a leak she mends me I don't have to speak, she defends me A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one
