The Buck Owens story L. Jonathan Marven Very interesting book, a page turner. A lot of detail about the life of Buck Owens, warts and all. I had been a fan of his but knew very little of his personal life until I read this book. Highly recommended.. Three Stars j. mcjunkins Seems very vindictive for some reason!. A limited version of the story Carl Eddy Sisk's book is a mostly a tabloid-style recounting of Buck's career, focusing primarily on his tawdry personal behaviors and his ruthless business practices.

The Beatles covered his songs; Gram Parsons idolized him; the Grateful Dead loved him. A tight-fisted control freak with an outsized appetite for sex, Owens could be genial at one moment and ruthlessly cruel the next.Buck Owens chronicles his rise from poverty as the son of a tenant farmer to one of the nation’s best-loved entertainers, worth at least $100 million when he died.
