Ernest Tubb ~ My Pick Of The Hits

[@MrPatdeeee]

Come April 5, 2024, I will be 92 yrs old; and 85 yrs ago my dad and I sat up to hear the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville. On 650 AM radio. We heard Roy Acuff, Ernest Tubb and many others. Thus it brought tears of nostalgia now; when I hear these old recordings that I dearly loved. May Jesus rests the Precious souls; of all of the "Country Singers".

[@2packs4sure]

What a great memory !!

[@evaconde7220]

Ernest Tubb was the first Rod Stewart 🎤🎶💖✨✨😁👍

[@2packs4sure]

Because of the gravelly voice?

[@evaconde7220]

@@2packs4sureYes my friend. I like that kind of voice, just the likes of Rod Stewart, Kim Carnes and Bonnie Taylor 😁🎶✨🎤

[@jafewaefbfaewfewa9377]

I only listen to country when I drink. My father doesn’t get it. This is music!! I will only quit drinking when I quit this music and vice versa. I won’t stop this is emotion and soul. Greatest artist by a windfall. Thank you so much for posting this. It means a lot to me.

Good to hear,, ET's peak for me was 58' thru 65' but of course it's all good..

[@petermcgarry4286]

You start to hear Ernest singing a familiar song, thinking it will be stale in his hands. Then listening to it you realise that the master has taught you what the song really means, a very very rare talent. Timeless.

[@2packs4sure]

Well said !

[@starlaryer4165]

My dad passed in 1999 and Ernest was one of his very favorites. I sang Ernest Tubb songs to him while he was passing....he smiled

That's beautiful. I was really close with my dad. He played country when I was a kid in the 60s. I've played various music mostly rock over the years but I'm very close to old country. I'm trying to put a band together playing it now but I'm a drummer so I have to learn guitar or banjo. I'm getting old tho so gotta hurry. Cheers heres to our dads !

I did the exact thing with my Uncle. He smiled broadly also. He ABSOLUTELY Loved Ernest!!!

I took my car in to my Polish mechanic's garage for service and his first comment when I picked up the car was I like your music. He had been listening to my CD country selections. This from Koscierzyna, Poland

He was a very pleasant man and treated his admirers well. He was just down to earth. Once you met him you felt like you've known him all your life. I also saw Dolly and Porter Wagner there at another time.

[@gothamvelveth3067]

In 1985 I heard Ernest Tubb for the first time with his song I wonder Why you said goodbye, and it was something impressive. His voice, the background music, was the best. I had already heard Hank Williams Sr., but Ernest Tubb, he was something different, a definition, a very definite background music, something special. In my personal preference, Ernest Tubb, is something that comes from older times than Hank Williams. Ernest Tubb, it's something special, and it's a good thing that his style is still in force.

[@rebeccad5988]

I've always loved listening E. T my mom and I Thank you very much

He was my mom before she passed away in1999 and i play his songs for her and she had a big smile on her face

She's gone now but if she was still alive I know she would LOVE this! Thank you so much for posting this. My aunt is still alive and I'm going to send this link to her, I know she will love it like mom would.

[@kevingriffin5770]

I met Ernest in person near the end of his life at a nightclub near Carlyle, Illinois in 1982...It was freezing cold outside, he was more than 80 years old-in poor health and very tired; but persevered thru the show he did with his band...I was VERY impressed with his spirit and still am! Ernest Tubb was a REAL STAR...Outstanding!

[@2packs4sure]

I thought about correcting that one but decided against it though E.T. definitely LOOKED 80 in 1982.......

[@kevingriffin5770]

Didn't mean anything against Ernest, I really liked him-he was a force for good anywhere he was.

[@2packs4sure]

No one thought you had anything against anybody, you just had some basic facts about E.T.'s age wrong that's all.

[@2packs4sure]

It's weird, i was responding to a post that corrected your error about E.T.'s real age and now i don't see it..... It just vanished........

[@kevingriffin5770]

yeah, wasn't sure of his age, just guessed...I was very impressed with Ernest in person; he cast a positive light in that very dark-otherwise cold roadhouse on Rte. 127 North...
