Power fact: In 1947 Ernest Tubb was the FIRST to bring electrified guitars and instruments to the Grand Ole Opry. The next time something similar happened was when B Dylan went electric at Newport folk festival in 1965 with a Fender Strat.

I really enjoy these recordings from the 50s. We owe a debt of gratitude to all of these great performers and the people that had the foresight to record them for posterity.

I've many videos of Opry 50's Shows. I'm sure I have all Ernest Tubb but forgot Hawk and the 'whip set' Did you see Jean Shepard watching him. Also on the end next to Hawk when they were married. Thanks!

[@hellstryker9638]

Wish I was raised during this period of America. People dressed nice. No swearing. Women actually looked like they kept themselves up

@@heywardhickman6721 Thank you!

[@patsyleeheck6332]

Van was a artist of his own sang with Ray on many records. NOT a Troubadour.

[@user-ch4nt8yk1s]

I'll don't know said he's couldn't sing don't know what he's talking about

[@williamjarman9076]

I love the old country but I can tell ya I have no idea what they saw in Earnest Tubb, he couldn't carry a tune in a bucket good lawd he was flat.

[@kenmizell7533]

I agree with you on that. One of the draws of Tubb was his band. He had some great players, especially Buddy Charlton on pedal steel. I think Buddy Emmons once played with Tubb too - not sure. He had a great band. A lot of music back then was based on the lyrics, and not so much a great singing voice.

[@anthonyflint7419]

Lovely...that pedal steel reaĺly makes the band. 🎸🌺🎶

[@kenmizell7533]

That's not a "pedal" steel guitar. This is a steel guitar, like used before pedals were introduced and became popular. The player in this video, Jack Evens, eventually become a pedal steel player. If you look up Ray Price singing "Invitation to the Blues" here on KZbin, you can see Jack playing a Bigsby Pedal Steel Guitar. I really like that version too. Ray Price employed some of the best pedal steel guitar players in history, to include two GREATS - Jimmy Day, and Buddy Emmons.
