Roy Acuff, Box Car Willie and Charlie Daniels Wabash Cannonball

[@josiajones9774]

You will never, NEVER, NEVER, EVER EVER see that much greatness and talent together on a platform again...EVER :-(

Don’t be sad there gone. Be happy that they were ever here. It’s for that reason that the sun keeps shining as brightly as it does today.

[@theblocksmith645]

The only thing that would have put more talent on that stage would be hank Williams sr, Johnny cash, Johnny Horton and the Osborn brothers with maybe hank Williams jr as well

[@tinaroberts9922]

I am the great niece of Roy Acuff and it was amazing growing up watching them make music on the mountain on Saturday nights. I was truly blessed to see this. Lester Flat and Earl Scruggs Roy Acuff my grandparents and neighbors.

[@Deltoidicus]

I sincerely hope you know just how blessed you truly were to witness that

I heard a lot of country Music when I was little. The WLS national Barn Dance in Chicago was one of our favorites, & the Grand ole Opry, in Nashville Tennessee was another. My husband took me to Nashville, when we're young. It was nice. I heard Hank Lochland sing "Send me the Pillow that you Dream on"! It was real good! I'm always amazed, when I think that Hank Williams was only 29 yrs old when he bied, because he wrote a LOT of songs in his short life!

[@DougHinVA]

This is what there was before commercial country music. I grew up in east Tennessee and heard it on B&W TV when it was called 'hillbilly music' and I was infatuated with Chopin and Rachmaninoff as my brother played classical piano. Hillbilly music gave way to 'commercial country' out of Nashville studios and tours and TV shows. Audiences bought country music records and TV shows and hillbilly music largely faded away from public acceptance.

[@edguilfoyle829]

They will never die. They live on in their music.

[@thewaywardwind548]

I love watching entertainers having as much fun as the audience. This is a magnificent performance! I always heard that if you could find something to do that you love you'll never work a day in your life. These guys love performing and for them it's not work. Thank you for posting this.

It's sad that box car . Really never got the recognition he deserved. He was so underrated.

[@tylertucker4478]

I wasn't born until 1992 but I've always loved older songs. There's not many songs idk. But this one has always given me chills

[@stokerboiler]

Nobody did a steam whistle like Box Car Willie. For those too young to remember, that is exactly what a steam whistle sounded like.

[@stokerboiler]

Only difference - a real steam whistle was loud enough to wake the dead.

[@RJ1999x]

The Big Boy just went out on a test run, the whistle is haunting, to say the least

[@keithlucas6260]

Some of us actually got to ride in them some 60 years ago while they were still being used for freight because the new diesels couldn't pull anything but passengers.....Wasn't until the traction units came out that they could..... was the best of simple life.....

[@Beer-can_full_of_toes]

I grew up by the tracks like Ol Box. I’m only 37 but they still run one now and then and it’s a beautiful sound to my ears. Now a train rolls through town and nobody even knows who it is anymore.

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

So, too, could Onie Wheeler and, of course, Roy Acuff himself.

CLASSIC SOLID GOLD TRADITIONAL COUNTRY MUSIC!!! I absolutely love this music. I'm 50 yrs old now & I grew up on this classic country music in the 70s & 80s. I just don't know or understand how most of this TRASH that's being played on country music stations is even considered to be country music. Most of this TRASH that is concidered to be country music today is about 500 miles away from real country music. I really like some of the new country singers that are trying to keep it country like: Justin Moore, Easton Corbin, Cody Johnson, Aaron Lewis, Chris Janson, Jamey Johnson, Rodney Atkins, Jon Pardi, BlackBerry Smoke, Whitey Morgan & The 78's, Midland, Randy Houser, Riley Green, Luke Combs, Scotty McCreery, Mo Pitney, & Eric Church. These singers just might help save real country music!!! Much love from Mobile Alabama.

From the great Atlantic ocean to the wide Pacific shore She climbs a flowery mountains o'er the hills and by the shore She's mighty tall and handsome she's known quite well by all She's a regular combination on the Wabash Cannonball Listen to the jingle, the rumble and the roar As she glides along the woodland o'er the hills and by the shore Hear the mighty rush of the engine hear those lonesome hoboes call Traveling through the jungle on the Wabash Cannonball Well she came down from Birmingham one cold December day As she pulled into the station you could hear all the people say She's from Tennessee she's long and she's tall She came down from Birmingham on the Wabash Cannonball Here's to daddy Claxton may his name forever stand And always be remembered in the courts throughout the land His earthly race is over and the curtains round him fall We'll carry him home to Dixie on the Wabash Cannonball Listen to the jingle, the rumble and the roar As she glides along the woodland o'er the hills and by the shore Hear the mighty rush of the engine hear those lonesome hoboes call Traveling through the jungle on the Wabash Cannonball
