BiographyThe Buckaroos were an American band led by Buck Owens in the 1960s and 1970s, who, along with The Strangers, were involved in the development and presentation of the "Bakersfield sound." Their peak of success was from 1965 to 1970. In 2005, CMT named the Buckaroos No. 2 on its list of the 20 Greatest Country Music Bands.
