The Buckaroos were a Grammy-winning backup band for lead artist Buck Owens in the 1960s and 70's, who were heavily involved in Owens' development and presentation of the "Bakersfield Sound". The members included early sidemen Wayne "Moose" Stone, Jay McDonald, Ken Presley and Merle Haggard along with Doyle Holly, Don Rich, Tom Brumley, Willie Cantu and JD Maness. Other noted members before Don Rich's death include Jerry Wiggins, Jim Shaw, Doyle Singer, and Jerry Brightman. Jana Jae became the first female member after being invited onstage with Buck Owens to play "Orange Blossom Special". These later members performed on Hee Haw. Haggard, who worked a short time with Owens in 1962, suggested the name "Buckaroos."

They recorded live LPs in London, Norway, Australia, New Zealand, Las Vegas and New York City.

They were voted #1 band for five consecutive years 1967-1971 by the Country Music Awards, and members are honored in the Country Music Hall of Fame.
