Chanteur Country US né Alvis Alan Owens, le 13 mai 1948 à Mesa
(Arizona). Buddy Alan est le fils de Buck
et Bonnie Owens.
Singer,
songwriter and guitarist Buddy Alan, born Alvis Alan Owens, is the son of
country legends Buck
and Bonnie Owens. While growing up
in Bakersfield, California, he listened to country and rock & roll and formed
his first rock band, the Chosen Few, at the age of 14. He switched to country
music by his late teens and in 1965 moved to Arizona with his mother and her new
husband Merle Haggard. That year he
also sang for the first time at one of his father's Christmas concerts.
Buddy Alan's first single, a duet with Buck
called "Let the World Keep on a Turnin'," was released by Capitol in 1968 and
made it to the Top Ten. That same year, he also recorded his first solo single,
"When I Turn Twenty One," written by stepfather
Haggard; this one made it to the Top
60. By 1969, Alan had spent a summer touring with the Buck Owens Show and was
working at a country music nightclub. That year he released two more singles and
also recorded his first album, Wild, Free and Twenty One. He then joined his
father's All American Show and continued touring the country. His popularity
grew, and he starred in his own shows and made regular appearances as a soloist
and musician on Hee Haw for the next seven years. Alan again made it to
the charts in 1970 with the single "Santo Domingo." In late 1970, he and
Buckaroo lead guitarist Don Rich
recorded the popular "Cowboy Convention," and Alan was named Most Promising Male
Artist by the ACM. From 1971-1975, Alan continued to release modestly successful
singles. Alan was signed to Capitol Records for eight years, but despite his
initial promise as a performer, he never made it to the big time. Alan left the
music business in 1978 to attend college in Arizona. He then went back to radio
as Buddy Alan Owens and became the music director at two local stations in
Tempe, Arizona. He was voted Billboard's Music Director of the Year four years
running during the late '80s and early '90s.
