Bakersfield country really hit its stride as a reaction against the slick, string-laden Nashville Sound , which was becoming popular in the late 1950s Artists like Wynn Stewart used electric instrumentation and added a Backbeat , as well as other stylistic elements borrowed from Rock And Roll . In the early 1960s , Merle Haggard and Buck Owens , among others, brought the Bakersfield sound to mainstream audiences, and it soon became one of the most popular kinds of country music, also influencing later country stars such as Dwight Yoakam .
