Merle Haggard & Clint Eastwood "Bar Room Buddies" Single Of The Day

Greetings from Asheville, where good music is always on the turntable.  Today’s Single Of The Day turned out to be the most successful single of Clint Eastwood’s singing career.  Okay, he really didn’t sing, much, and yes, Merle Haggard is the primary vocalist, but still….

“Bar Room Buddies” was a single release from Clint Eastwood’s movie, “Bronco Billy”.  Released on the Elektra label in May, 1980, it debuted on the Country 40 at the end of the month and raced to the number one position, by the end of July.  Though it was Eastwood’s only number one hit, it was the twenty-fifth of Merle Haggard’s career.

Your thoughts?

Saving vinyl, one record at a time.
