The 1st of 2 big Bako events to be held this weekend: The Buck Owens Studios Farewell Session CD release party
For those who've gone country, and for those who've gone underground in B-town, there are two, and only two big events to be held in Bakersfield this weekend. Here is the first.
One of Bakersfield's fastest-rising underground artists of the nu Bako Sound genre, Hank Ray, will open for my CD release party at 7 pm on Saturday, June 7 at Russo's Books at the Marketplace.
I'll be releasing The Farewell Session, an EP featuring a collection of songs written as tributes to the history of the old Buck Owens recording studios which evolved into Fat Tracks, and, eventually into Pig Studio. The solo project was the last to be completed at the very site it pays tribute to, before it closed down.
We'll be playing songs like There's a Ghost in this Building, The Last Man Standing, and Phat Chance. We'll also be playing some selections from my forthcoming CD, From Buck Owens Boulevard to Merle Haggard Drive, due to be released sometime in July.
We'll also play a few old favorite Dr. BLTunes, some covers, and perhaps a song or two from Altar'd Hymns, a CD due for release in August or September.
Nobody's ever left one of my shows disappointed.

7 o'clock
gonna make it burn
and we're gonna make it rock
6-7-8
that is the date
we're gonna pay tribute
to a very special place
we'll grab our guitars
pay tribute to the stars
that made history
layin' down a few bars
of Kern country rock
and Korn-bred blues
6-7-8
in case you hadn't heard the news
