Music reviews of The Definitive Collection
Music Review: MOST OF THESE ARE NOT THE ORIGINAL HITS!
Rating: 2 Stars
From the opening notes of "Walking the Floor Over You," something just didn't sound right. Gone was the rich, thick baritone and ET's plaintive wailing over his true love. Instead, we get the vocals of a baritone that displays the wear and tear that a lifetime of singing and smoking (and emphysema) can do to a voice. Sure enough, when checking out the "American Masters" series, it's got the exact version on it, down to ET's comments to his guitar player before a brief solo. The difference is that the "American Masters" has the honesty to list it as "1963 version" -- not the '40s classic I love so well. And so it goes with most of the tracks on this CD -- most follow the same pattern. We don't hear ET progress through time. Instead, all the songs are sung by rote by a man clearly in his late 50s or early 60s, and the band backing him is definitely not the Texas Troubadors!
A couple of classics are here -- the duets, for instance. But I'd estimate 90 percent of this CD was recorded in '63, or '73, or whenever, but you certainly don't hear ET's voice age over the years like you should.
Clearly, ET met in a studio with session musicians, did a few run-throughs, and then cut this CD in a day or so. All the songs have the same sonic "background," and Tubb's voice stays the same from beginning to end.
I was born and raised in rural Texas and the music of Ernest Tubb (along with a few others) comprise the "soundtrack of my youth." I give this CD 1 star out of love for ET, and one star because the songs are great, even if they aren't the original recordings. If not for his memory and the great music he left behind, this would rate zero stars. Clearly some record executives had him sing his hits, paid him some decent money, and now are making MORE money by passing this off as a "greatest hits" compilation. IT IS NOT. There's some great ET on CD. Shop around. AVOID THIS! What a disappointment.
