Clint Black will re-open Buck Owens' club the Crystal Palace on Tuesday, April 4, 2006 in a special performance sponsored by KUZZ Radio. The Bakersfield, California club is a popular landmark for music fans, and the last venue that the venerable Buck Owens performed in prior to his death last weekend. Black, who is a huge fan of Owens and his music, will perform some of his own songs, as well as one or two choice Buck Owens songs. "Buck Owens helped shape and define the sound of Country Music for my generation," Black said. "At a time when his sound was being called 'Rebel,' his music was setting the industry ablaze and filling dance floors. As the years went by, whenever anyone wanted to cite names that typified the 'country sound,' Buck Owens was sure to be included on a very short list of greats. I was able to spend little bits of time with Buck over the years and he couldn't have been more fun to be around. I know he has joined his sorely missed buddy Don Rich, as well as the other greats, to bring them to their feet in Heaven. The Bakersfield Sound lives on both here and there."
The performance will begin at 8:00 a.m. PT and is open to the public. Clint Black is conducting a national radio tour to support his latest CD release, Drinkin' Songs & Other Logic.
