Buck Griffin
American country musician and songwriter
  • General Info
General Information
Description
Albert C. "Buck" Griffin was an American country musician and songwriter. He was a popular performer live and on radio, though he never scored a hit on record, and was compared to Hank Williams and Conway Twitty. Griffin was born in Corsicana, Texas and was raised in Oklahoma and Missouri. He began playing guitar at age 12 and sang lead in a high school dance band. After school Griffin took jobs as a ditch digger and oil driller in Kansas, where he played in local clubs. In the late 1940s he was offered a slot on Oklahoma City radio station WKY under the name Chuck Wyman. Joe Leonard, owner of a Gainesville, Texas radio station, offered Griffin a contract on Lin Records in 1954, and had him record his first single at the studios of Dallas's WFAA. "It Don't Make No Nevermind" b/w "Meadowlark Boogie" was his first release, but it went nowhere, and several more releases later in 1954 also failed to attract attention. Despite this, Griffin was a popular live performer, performing with Red Foley and Marty Robbins among others.
