Music fans familiar with Bakersfield’s “Country & Western” roots and its pioneering “Bakersfield Sound” can take in a show at the Buck Owens’ Crystal Palace (http://www.buckowens.com). Some great C&W artists have played here including Dwight Yoakam and Merle Haggard and, of course, the great CMA Hall of Famer, Buck Owens and his Bukaroos.
"I've spent a thousand miles of thumbin', Yes, I've worn blisters on my heels, Tryin' to find something better, Here on the streets of Bakersfield."
From the song Streets of Bakersfield by Buck Owens (1929-2006)
