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.

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.

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.
