Mike Buck was born in June of 1952 in Fort Worth, Texas. Known for his solid backbeat, Buck has played all over the world with variety of bands. As a teenager, he with Robert Ealey and the Five Careless Lover at the Bluebird moving to Austin in his twenties. He joined the Fabulous Thunderbirds playing on the band's first two records and later formed the Le Roi Brothers. Buck also played with Doug Sahm, the Naughty Ones, Lazy Lester, Lightnin' Hopkins, Screamin' Jay Hawkins and Bo Diddley.
In 2001, Buck and guitarist Eve Monsees decided to put a band together that would combine blues with 60s rock and roll which led to the formation of the Exiles. They also became owners of Antone's Record Shop. I hope you enjoyed Trick's look at a contemporary Texas legend.
