Buck Owens — Foolin’ Round

Here’s a twangier version of ‘Foolin Round,’ by the ever-charming Buck Owens and his Buckaroos, with Don Rich on guitar. If you’re as excited about those sparkly Nudie suits as I am, you’d do well to check out the Nudie Suits! tumblr, which features a shot of Gram Parsons posing in his pearly white nudie suit stitched with marijuana leaves.

Wynn Stewart — It’s Such A Pretty World Today (1967)

It’s Country Sunday again on yer darling daily! And thank god cause I’ve been itching to post this. Here’s Wynn Stewart, one of the originators of the Bakersfield sound, backed by Buck Owens’ band the Buckaroos, including Don Rich on guitar and Tom Brumley on pedal steel.

There’s a lot to love about this video — Wynn Stewart getting almost teary eyed while he sings, Don Rich’s amazing silver sparkle Telecaster, or Tom Brumley’s little smirks of satisfaction as he nails the pedal steel lines.

Oh yeah, and the outfits…I’m speechless.
