The Texas Troubadour (4CD)

Ernest Tubb's country music legacy is an enormous one. He introduced amplified instruments onto the Grand Old Opry, spearheaded the honky tonk movement in country music and supported and encouraged numerous young artists in the business. He also scored 91 C&W hits in the process, solo or in duet with Red Foley or Loretta Lynn. This is the story of the Texas Troubadour. In a career that spanned 1936-1982, Ernest Tubb was one of the true giants of country music. He had Carrie Rodgers, Jimmie Rodgers' widow, to thank for her help in the early days, something he never forgot and similar help was passed on to other aspiring stars. 100 tracks are included in the 4 CD box which comes with a 48 page booklet.
