Music reviews of Texas Troubadour

Music Review: Hardcore country mostly from the forties
Rating: 5 Stars

Ernest Tubb was one of the earliest superstars of country music. Unlike his friend Red Foley whose voice had pop crossover appeal, Ernest had a voice that was pure country with no obvious crossover appeal. Yet Ernest had hits in the American pop charts because the songs were of such great quality.

This compilation covers the best of his Decca recordings from 1940 to 1952, although that was far from the end of his recording career. He continued to have big country hits well into the sixties, in which decade he recorded three albums of duets with Loretta Lynn. The set is divided up so that most of the hits from the period covered are on the first two CD's. The third CD contains a selection of other songs that he wrote, while the fourth CD contains his versions of songs written by others (not all covers - some were written for him). The last two CD's include some hits too - they couldn't fit them all on the first two.

The hits include all the songs for which Ernest is best remembered and some that have since yielded interesting covers. They include Walking the floor over you, Soldier's last letter, Tomorrow never comes (covered by Elvis Presley), Filipino baby, So round so firm so fully packed, Let's say goodbye like we said hello, Have you ever been lonely have you ever been blue, Slipping around, Blue Christmas and I love you because.

Ernest, though not the first to record Blue Christmas, was the first to have a hit with it though it has since become identified with Elvis Presley. Likewise, Ernest's huge country hit with I love you because is generally forgotten - Jim Reeves made the song his own in the sixties when he had a huge international hit with it.

Ernest also recorded plenty of duets, especially with Rod Foley. Among their duet hits were Goodnight Irene, Too old to cut the mustard and Don't be ashamed of your age. Ernest also recorded two songs with the Andrews sisters (I'm biting my fingernails and thinking of you, Don't rob another man's castle), both featured here.

The third and fourth CD's prove that there was more to Ernest's music than just hit singles. Among the tracks here are The last thoughts of Jimmie Rodgers (recorded in 1936 and released on the Bluebird label), Blue eyed Elaine (his first Decca single, presumably written about his wife), There's a little bit of everything in Texas (a huge hit), Texas vs Kentucky (with Red Foley) and The lovebug itch (with Red Foley and Minnie Pearl).

Diehard Ernest Tubb fans will want the Bear Family boxed sets, but outside those very expensive collections, this is the strongest available. Of course, it only covers the early part of his career but those were his best years. For comparison, this contains the first 35 of the 40 tracks to be found on the Definitive collection. There is more than ample compensation for the omission of Yellow rose of Texas, Mister love, Half a mind, Thanks a lot and Waltz across Texas. Many other hits missing from that collection can be found here.
