On this day in 1965, Capitol Records released Buck Owens’s album I’ve Got A Tiger By The Tail. It rose to #1 on the Billboard Country Albums chart, and the title track (which was released in 1964) rose to #1 on the US Country chart, #25 on the Hot 100, and #12 on the Canadian Top 100.

Great song…I grew up with Buck on Hee Haw.

That was a good show and appealed to city and counry folks…

I am so not into this music but it was huge. I never liked Hee Haw except when Roy Clark would start to play. The country twang and sad jokes always gave me an instant headache. My Uncle Ambrose loved them and was a great reliever of his troubles when he was dying of cancer.

“Hee Haw” was the first time I saw Buck, Roy Clark (there’s a hell of a musician), Stringbean, Grandpa Jones, Archie Campbell… They say that show was as popular with city people as country people by the time CBS pulled all its country shows.

I didn’t realize what a great musician Roy Clark was until just recently. I thought the show was fun and entertaining.

Roy was amazing: I think he played just about anything that had strings on it (guitar, banjo, mandolin, fiddle…) and he had a tremendous voice, he could do country, adult contemporary, jazz, even classical, and he was absolutely hilarious. He and Glen Campbell were similar.

I had never heard of him until “Hee Haw,” but he was a favorite ever since then.
