Join list of BAKERSFIELD'S NEXT BUCK TALENT CONTEST contestants
If intended to be taken literally, Bakersfield's Next Buck Talent contest would be a big joke. There will never be another Buck Owens.
Buck now there's a way to carry on the independent spirit and passion he possessed and to put a little Bakersfield sound attitude into a song paying tribute to him and Merle.
The list of Bakersfield's Next Buck Talent Contest contestants is small, but growing, and the talent is huge. Those who've thrown their hats in the ring so far are:
Patrick Jarrett
Jerry Rothberg
Hank Ray
Joe Cannon
Arian Hughs (only female contestant)
Bartenders Bible has expressed interest, but I'm still waiting on their audition tape.
You can be a band, a duo a male or a female to enter. The deadline is September 2, 2008.
All you have to do is to either sing to the instrumental version of this song:

If you wanna be the next Buck Owens
if you wanna grab the Tiger by the Tail
just give it all you've got
dare to be different
sing out from your heart
let your guitar wail
be yourself
be yourself
don't try to be
like anybody else
if you wanna be the next Buck Owens
just break their hearts
and make their spirits melt
if you wanna be the next Merle Haggard
you don't have to sing The Fightin' Side of Me
just give it all you've got
dare to be different
break their hearts
and set their spirits free
be yourself
be yourself
don't try to be
like anybody else
if you wanna be the next buck owens
just break their hearts
and make their spirits melt
