Customer Reviews

A Must Have For Any Ernest Tubb Fan
This box set is a must have for any fan of Ernest Tubb and the Texas Troubadours. Ernest was in splendid voice in these days, and he had some of his best musicians during this period. Included in this box set are the first two albums the Texas Troubadours recorded for Decca. This band consisted of Leon Rhodes, Buddy Charleton, Jack Greene, Cal Smith, and Jack Drake; one of the finest Country bands ever. Also included are some great duets that Ernest did with Loretta Lynn, as well as several recordings that were never previously issued. This is some of Ernest's best work. It comes with a booklet that consists of liner notes written by Ronnie Pugh and Rich Kienzle, pictures, and a discography of these recordings. I highly recommend this box set.

ET's Golden Years
Bear Family Records has done it yet again with this 1960's collection of Ernest Tubb and his Texas Troubadours. This is the era of Jack Greene and Cal Smith, and dont forget the brilliant guitar work of Leon! Not only are there 6 Cd's worth of the finest Tubb here, there are a few numbers featuring Cal Smith and Jack Greene on vocals; songs you wont find elsewhere. As well, there are also duets with Loretta Lynn. Bear Family has released a few box sets of Ernest Tubb, all of them well-worth their price. But, if you could only have one, "Waltz Across Texas" is the best of the best. While you may flinch at the price, you'll come to realize it's worth every red cent when you play the first of six superb Cd's in this collection. Of course, there's the usual large booklet laying out ET's career of this era, and a detailed discography as well as some great photos of his premiere band. A+

CD Collection Waltz Across Texas
The recent purchase of the CD collection of Ernest Tubb's recordings, Waltz Across Tesas was a very good purchase. I bought it as a Christmas present for my wife. She listens to it all the time and really loves it. She plays guitar in their band and was wanting to learn some of his songs they get requests to play. She has already learned how to play those. It was one of the quickest and easiest purchases through Amazon that I have ever bought. That is what country music should still be like. I purchased this one at the same time as Another Story collection.
Thank you again,
Britt and Cindy
