"Just Because" A Jay Wade plays Western Swing music // Central Hill Sessions

"Just Because" was written in 1929 by Joe Shelton, Sydney Robin and Bob Shelton and originally recorded by Nelstone's Hawaiians (Hubert Nelson and James D. Touchstone).
The song has been covered many times since and recorded by a large number of artists, like The Shelton Brothers and the Lone Star Cowboys in 1933. The Prairie Ramblers 1935 version is by far our favourite - check it out and you won’t be sorry!
Elvis Presley recorded this song famously at the Sun Studios decades later. Other artists include Frankie Yankovic, Paul McCartney, Al Hirt, Jorma Kaukonen, Brian Setzer, …
Anna and I decided to give it our own twist in another Central Hills Session in our home in Crystal Palace, London. Thanks for watching and we hope you like it!

Love hearing the 2 of you. You make beautiful music

[@kennethlamb2926]

As many times as I have enjoyed this tune by many artists, the tempo change near the end is unique. Bravo!

[@AJayWade]

Thanks! We wanted to add a little twist

[@r.michaeldunwiddie2449]

I'm old and have heard this song many times by different artists over the years and this is one of the best renditions I've ever heard.

[@AJayWade]

Thanks so much, that means a lot!

[@russellnittler7537]

I would agree, the best version I have heard.

[@timothymorgereth1438]

Just because started off as a polka hit over here lol❤

[@r.michaeldunwiddie2449]

@@timothymorgereth1438 The first recording of the song was in 1929 by a Hawaiian group. The song really gets around.

[@troynov1965]

I agree !

[@mariankeller5852]

I remember this song from when i was really little and my older sisters and my brother John sang it and they played it on the radio..love it

[@db5837]

This is so entertaining that I forgot it was created by only the two talented performers.

[@henrypierce8900]

Been enjoying western swing for 50 yrs since i got a record from the local library here in ireland called hillbilly jazz. I still listen to it, and believe the albums hillbilly jazz were recorded by elvis presleys band, as elvis wasnt turning up to studio and the band decided to indulge in recording some of their favorite tunes. Two double albums were the result. Im so glad elvis didnt turn up, allowing the band to cook up some great string swing. Its lovely to see this music genre getting more popular again, outside of musicans, it's been sadly overlooked.
