 Introduction
Born
in the '50s honky-tonks along Chester and Union avenues, The
Bakersfield Sound is much like its hometown -- a
hard-edged diamond built from the heart and the sweat and
the emotions of working men and women.
It is not the
soft confection of Nashville. It's ragged; it's
raw-edged; it's beautiful and it speaks to our roots and
to our aspirations.
Yes, a very
special music evolved in Bakersfield. And to celebrate
this extraordinary sound, The Californian
presents a special report by senior writer Robert Price
and senior photographer Felix Adamo. Sit back and enjoy
the sights and sounds and words and personalities of The
Bakersfield Sound.
