"If you've ever screamed at your radio "this is NOT Country Music ! ! ! " The Buckles are your band..."

Here is your chance to hear the classics of honky-tonk, performed by Portland's staunchest country traditionalists. Hard-core Bakersfield twang right out of the playbooks of Buck Owens and Merle Haggard, unaffected by the homogenized country-pop of today. The Buckles serve up a highly listenable and eminently danceable set, guaranteed to please.

The Buckles perform songs by many artists including: Buck Owens, Ray Price, Merle Haggard, Don Gibson, Desert Rose Band, Charlie Pride, Wynn Stewart, Dwight Yoakam, The Mavericks, Fastball, The Derailers, George Jones, The Louvin Brothers, The Mavericks, Jimmy Bryant, Johnny Paycheck, The Wonders, Speedy West and more.
