Buck Owens Pins and Buttons
Description: This 1970's design is for Buck Owens' famous concert venue, The Crystal Palace located in Bakersfield, California. This club- conceived and built by Buck himself- stood for 30 years and showcased the biggest talents in country. It's the last venue where Buck and his Buckaroos performed.
Description: According to Owens' autobiography, Buck 'Em!, songwriter Johnny Russell stumbled into "Act Naturally" when a last minute Los Angeles recording session forced him to break a date with his Fresno girlfriend. When she asked what he would be doing, Russell gave her the line that would eventually open the song: "They're gonna put me in the movies, and they're gonna make a big star out of me." Two years and several rejections later, Owens heard Russell's demo and decided to record "Act Naturally" as part of the first sessions that brought his full road band, the Buckaroos, into the studio.
