BMoA's current exhibition, The Bakersfield Sound: Roll Out the Red Carpet, explores the significant figures and stylings of California Country, displaying a dynamic shift from traditional works towards a celebratory display of local history featuring costumes, guitars, and posters from the era. Prominently highlighted in the exhibition are seven iconic "Nudie Suits." The Nudie suit was the "get noticed" stage costume for country performers for more than four decades. Today we interview Jamie Cuevas Nudie, granddaughter of Nudie and Bobbie Cohn, to discuss the colorful life and legacy of Nudie Rodeo Taylors.
