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.

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.

My grandfather owned an old honkytonk bar. We served Hamburg's that went an inch or more outside the bun, an inch or more thick. If you got fried onions, we served it with a fork, and never fried them or the burger in grease, used water. Had hot dogs. Served crab balls oyster fritters, stew, and steamed crabs depending on the season. He worked the water, when he didn't the rest of my family did, so we always had fresh. Twice a year we had fish fries. Served hushpuppies. They served jarred pickled pigs' knuckles, sausages, chips etc. Had beer on draft, and canned and bottled beer, stuff like Papst, Original Bud, Schlitz, Black Label, Old Milwaukee, Miller and Michelob. The place was small, and my father and uncle owned a tile company before they went into the army, so my grandfather had some friends and family take all the remnant tiles left over, no certain color, style just however they grabbed them, and do the walls. I met people as far north as New York that had been there then come back, the tables were placed in rows, and you sat beside whoever else was there, so it was known as a social place. The locals swore if you were lonely go there, you won't be for long. They had a pool table, but Saturday nights, they covered it, and a band played behind it. Many time`s I heard this song, or many like it, and I still hear that bass and see all my elder friends and family dancing. The only other type of music was polka, we were of Czech descent, so it was very well known, and the family had a polka band that played there once or twice a month to. I loved Earnest Tubb, and this era of country, it sure brings back some good memories....
