Ernest Tubb was one of biggest and most influential stars in the history of country music, his hit-making career covering nearly four decades as he racked up around 90 country and pop chart entries, beginning with his landmark Walking The Floor Over You in 1941, which effectively pioneered the honky-tonk sound in commercial country music. He was known as The Texas Troubadour, a name he also gave to his band, which comprised the cream of Nashville's musicians, notably, in the early days, Jimmy Short, who developed the single-string picking style that characterised Tubbs' recordings. His many hits included the original versions of songs that became iconic country standards, such as Blue Christmas, popularised by Elvis Presley, and I Love You Because, later a huge hit for Jim Reeves. Tubbs went on to stay connected to his fans and provide a platform for new up-and-coming artists through his hugely popular radio show The Midnite Jamboree. This amazing 15 track LP concentrates on the first decade of this country icons career. All the songs featured reached the upper echelons of Billboards Most Played Juke Box Records, the first official country chart. It forms a snapshot of one of the true pioneers of modern Nashville country.
