Born 97 Years Ago Today in Oklahoma, the “Queen of the Coast” Who Married Not One, but Two Bakersfield Country Pioneers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On this day (October 1) in 1927, Bonnie Campbell — better known as Bonnie Owens — was born in Blanchard, Oklahoma. She is perhaps best remembered for her marriages to two staples of the Bakersfield country music scene — first Buck Owens, then Merle Haggard. However, Bonnie Owens was an accomplished performer in her own right, reaching the charts with the solo tracks “Why Don’t Daddy Live Here Anymore” (1963) and “Don’t Take Advantage of Me” (1964). On April 24, 2006, Owens died at age 76 after b

On this day (September 30) in 1965, country music singer Daron Jay Norwood was born in Lubbock, Texas. During his brief but impressive career, Norwood released three albums and sent six singles to the Hot Country Songs chart — including the top 25 hit “Cowboys Don’t Cry” in 1994. In addition to his love for entertaining, Norwood was also passionate about educating young people on the dangers of drug and alcohol abuse. Indeed, he prematurely ended his own musical journey in 1995 to combat his own
Two Decades Ago Today, We Said Goodbye to the Hall of Fame Multi-Instrumentalist Who Transformed Bluegrass Forever (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On this day (September 30) in 2006, Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame musician Josh Graves died in Nashville just three days after his 79th birthday. A longtime member of Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs’ Foggy Mountain Boys band, Graves is responsible for the resonator guitar’s prominent role in modern-day bluegrass music. Frequently called the “Dobro”, the instrument bears a striking resemblance to a regular guitar — except for its metal resonator plate behind the strings. The musician uses a metal ba
Born 73 Years Ago Today in Memphis, the Teen Beauty Queen Turned Country-Pop Hitmaker Who Penned Hits for Patty Loveless and Tanya Tucker (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On this day (September 30) in 1953, Deborah Lynn Thurmond was born in Memphis, Tennessee. Known professionally as Deborah Allen, she is best known for her 1983 crossover hit “Baby I Lied”, which reached number 4 on the U.S. country songs chart and peaked at number 26 on the pop chart. While you could perhaps classify Allen as a one-hit wonder, that label doesn’t tell the full story. Her musical journey brushes up against greatness in multiple places — from being discovered by Roy Orbison and sin
Born 119 Years Ago Today in the Lone Star State, the Early Pioneer of Western Swing Who Scored a Massive Hit in the 1930s (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On this day (September 29) in 1910, William Lemuel “Bill” Boyd was born on a farm near the small town of Ladonia in Fannin County, Texas. On par with his contemporary Bob Wills, Boyd was an early pioneer of Western swing music, recording more than 225 songs with his band, the Cowboy Ramblers, from 1934 through 1951. In 1935, the band scored a major hit with their recording of “Under the Double Eagle”, an 1893 march composed by Josef Wagner. Bill Boyd died on December 7, 1977, at age 67 in Dallas
