Capitol Records, not Capital Records

I tried to edit the text for the link in the introductory paragraph, but the html has Capitol spelled correctly. I would expect that the link itself should reflect the correct spelling and not reinforce the incorrect spelling of Capitol Records. I do not see any way to edit this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.93.0.126 (talk) 22:38, 16 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merle Haggard and Wynn Stewart

I think it would be appropriate to add a Merle Haggard and Wynn Stewart since they were also pioneers of the "Bakersfield Sound"

Citation needed?

Too many citations needed, the text is unreadable. One request at the top would be enough. 178.30.96.47 (talk) 18:48, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Re. citations

I agree with the previous comment that there are too many "citations needed" scattered throughout. It's ridiculous. But aside from that, I ask, why does a statement like:

'the lyrics of the very Bakersfield-sounding Far Away Eyes, which begins: "I was driving home early Sunday morning, through Bakersfield ..."'

need a citation? Duhh? That's just stupid. Just go listen to the Stones song. Does there have to be a footnote saying: 'Stones, Rolling, c.1978, albumn "Some Girls", publisher: bla bla bla'? Just go purchase the CD. If you don't know it's "Some Girls", you can google it. If no one comments on my comments, I will go and modify the article myself.

I also wonder why the article does not mention the Dwight Yoakum and Buck Owens cover of "The Streets of Bakersfield". I will fix that.Worldrimroamer (talk) 03:49, 22 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Others who did not continue, but had some nice hits in the area?

I just came across this article and wondered why Al Hendrix was not mentioned in it. I am not from Bakersfield or anywhere near it, but I came across this sound having obtained CDs "The other side of Bakersfield" Vol. 1 and 2! There are probably some more people mentioned there and who are also listed here, but apart from Buck Owens and Merl Haggard, I could only find songs of Al Hendrix on the Internet ("Monkey Bite", "Rhonda Lee", "Jumpin Johnny" and "Young and Wild"). So that justifies him being mentioned here, although I thought it would be worth while mentioning the others on those CDs too, because all the songs on there are nice tunes!
