Ernest Tubb - Honky Tonk Classics

Ernest Tubb (1914-1984) was a pioneer of country music. His musical career spanned all the way from his first radio appearance in 1933 to his death in 1984. It was a whopping 50+ years of singing, recording and performing on the roads. Ernest Tubb wrote over 150 songs himself and sold over 20 million records.

I love Ernest Tubb’s distinctively twangy and nasal singing style very much. Although I own only 1 LP of Ernest Tubb, I have searched Youtube and found quite a number of Ernest Tubb‘s song and downloaded them for my own listening pleasure.

Ernest Tubb’s biggest hit song is "Walking The Floor Over You". His other hit songs include "Tomorrow Never Comes", "Let's Say Goodbye Like We Said Hello", "Slippin' Around" and "Two Glasses Joe".
