Bud Hobbs & His Trail Herders

Bud Hobbs (October 16, 1919–July 18, 1958) was an American country singer and songwriter who is often cited as an early pioneer of the Bakersfield sound. Known for straddling the stylistic divide between Western swing and honky-tonk, Hobbs possessed a distinctive country-crooner vocal style. During a career cut short by his death at the age of 38, Hobbs recorded roughly 30 studio sides, three of which reached the Billboard country charts. Four of his releases featured guitarist Buck Owens in an early studio role.
