Music City News was founded in 1963, by country music singer Faron Young. In 1967, the publication began to confer annual awards; in 1978, it began televising them, with the inclusion of artist performances. These awards were not decided by a secretive committee or by an "association," but by fan nominations. Each installment of the Country Legends Live series highlights performances from particular annual awards shows. Country Legends Live, Vol. 4 offers a "best of" the 1984, 1985 and 1986 Music City News Awards Shows. Featured artists in this installment include Hank Williams, Jr., Reba McEntire, Johnny Cash, Randy Travis, Tanya Tucker, Ricky Van Shelton, Kathy Mattea, K.T. Oslin, the Oak Ridge Boys, The Statler Brothers, Highway 101, The Forester Sisters, Buck Owens, Dwight Yoakam, Patty Loveless and Ronnie Milsap.

This man from Sherman, Texas probably best-known as the wide-grinning rube on Hee Haw for so many years started a country music revolution. Or more accurately, a counter-revolution. It was called the Bakersfield Sound, He and fellow revolutionary Merle Haggard were cranking out raw, hard-driving honky-tonk music that stood the country-pop coming out of Nashville on its head. When Buck Owens and the Buckaroos would launch into "I've got a tiger by the tail, it s plain to see...!" the packed crowds would be on their feet and headed for the dance floor. Performed at Austin City Limits on October 23, 1988.

The Buck Owens Ranch Show was a nationally syndicated half-hour TV series that ran from 1966-1972.
