Damn, that is one TIGHT band! Those guys can really play. The drummer, a Scandinavian import, lays down one of the best swinging quick shuffle beats you'll ever hear, and the way Buddy Emmons rolls in those pedals on his steel guitar is just something to hear. You're going to LOVE this rendition of a great classic song. Best ever! Enjoy!

[@timd7782]

OMG - Tight! Like you could not fit a human hair in between each 16th note. VERY steady time. And ET's vocals have that extremely subtle flatness (I mean like it's on a razor's edge of being flat) that makes the whole thing cool and together. My parents were fans of his but I never realized his musical greatness until I saw the "Coal Miner's Daughter " movie. I love all kinds of music - rock, jazz, reggae, blues, classical, you name it - but Ernie Tubb and his band are really something special. In their own category.

+gettinnapkins He is Jan Kurtis, a young Norwegian jazz drummer whose parents immigrated to the Seattle area after WWII. He got his break with Tubb in 1959 when he filled in for Bun Wilson at a concert in Washington. He said he was quite apprehensive at first since country swing hadn't been known to produce but a few talented musicians but after rehearsing with Tubb, Leon Rhodes, and Buddy Emmons, he said he almost felt their talent was over his head. They more than proved that they were the real deal! Kurtis played with the Troubadours from 1959-1965.

[@mikehenson819]

I was born in 1957, and reared in middle school TN just south of Nashville, where of course Country music was King. But I grew up loving Rock, and R&B. In our house, dad tuned in every Saturday Night to the Grand Old Oprey, and we were forced to listen to the show until it was over. I recall complaining to my father about the music, and he told me that one day I’d appreciate it. Well here I am now loving the stuff I couldn’t bear back then. Looks like my Dad was right all along.

[@wdtaut5650]

My mother was a country girl, the real thing. She grew up in poverty people today can't imagine. She was determined to leave all that behind and we weren't allowed to listen to country music. She called it "Honky-Tonk" music. I figured honky-tonks must be a lot of fun. I had my own radio and sometimes I could get Grand Ol Opry or Louisiana Hayride. I kept the volume down and didn't say anything, just listened. There was a band in town that played Texas Swing. We couldn't go see them, either. A man down the street from us liked country and I used to hang around to hear his records. To me, Ernest Tubb, Hank Snow, Hank Williams, Lefty Frizzell were way better than Elvis. That was all a long time ago.

Ernest produced band only albums that SMOKING hot country jazz. What star today would produce albums of their band singing and playing without them. It was to further band personnel careers and so they’d supplement their income with sales at appearances. That used to be a bi thing. Got to meet his son, Justin Tubb and his band guys when I was in a band that played the Ernest Tubb Midnight Jamboree sometime around 1980-1984, I don’t recall anymore. I was cutting meat at grocery store. Our self appointed band leader worked a deal and we were going to start working fairs and rodeos opening, as part of a package show, but had too many really young band members to seriously jump. I sure wanted to jump, so did band leader, but we were only ones able to garner family support. So, that band petered out, as have so many. Wish I still had the cassette of that and many other live performances but that tapes degraded and would shred and ruin every tape deck. Finally got rid of all my old cassettes. Wish I had those memories again on electronic media, but...

Buddy Emmons , he made steel guitar history and developed the basis of the instrument everyone has used for decades.

[@ricovankranen9027]

The beautiful lyrics the country performers had in those days. Dig it!

[@samwhitmore2878]

The drummer looks like he is about 16 years old but holding his own with the big boys!

[@genevieveswhumphreys2440]

[@brandslylucas694]

[@brandslylucas694]

Hello Genevieve, how are you doing, hope you are good?

[@paulerickson3249]

Recorded by Bob Wills not written by him though, original recording was by Fats Waller and a Jazz piece. 1938/39 Mitchell Parish, Jerry Livingston and Abner Silver composers/lyricists

[@George_Washington420]

God damn I wish this was the studio version. This is so good

[@RoryVanucchi]

simple and straight ahead. only one ET and one Bob Wills

[@1edwiles]

should be a major movie about ET...always thought Burt Landcaster would have played him well!

[@mesillahills]

By today's standards, that excellent band would be out of work. The Opry often brags about how their house band only rehearses ONE TIME THROUGH with the performer. That's it and they are done. And it usually sounds exactly like the radio recording including all the same rifts and licks. Few people know that the very long song of Marty Robbins of El Paso has no repeat rifts or licks in it.

I like that “I’m just driving nails in my coffin every time I drink a bottle of booze” if you have your dad and your mom, thank them, my mom had to raise me and my older brother (by 6 years) alone because my father was an alcoholic, when I was growing up I saw as a bad man, now that I know why, it’s not my dads fault cause that’s how my grandpa was, my dad imitated his dad just like every other normal kid, the only bad thing was that during that time (when my dad was a kid) my grandpa will abuse my grandma and alcohol, so my dad grew up with that mentality. Moral of the story is, it’s better to forgive NOW than latter no matter what the hell happened, shoot, my parents separated when I was 7, my mom couldn’t pay the rent so we were evicted, but we still slept in the house even though it was illegal so we were basically sleeping and living in a abandoned house for three days until the cops showed up, we couldn’t even take the stuff from our garage, we had a bunch of photos in there vhs tapes to😤when we left my mom sent me to San Bernardino to my dad and my brother to Utah to my aunts, I had to live with a alcoholic for 2 years, it sound short, but keep in mind I was only 10 years old I saw my dad fight my grandpa, he had him on the ground threatening him that he was gonna kill him, man😤 please people save one another before it’s to late
