What are you listening to?

They play a similar version of this on the Barn Show. I love this tune. In the one they play on the Barn Show, at the Chorus they go 'putt, putt, putt, putt, putt' It goes through my head whenever I'm one one of the tractors.

Belinda Carlisle's "Voila" cd. Found it in my car and forgot how much I'd enjoyed it until it went missing.

Love it! My brother and I are both Ernest Tubb fans. We both enjoy the way he calls out the band members in his songs and joke about it when we're listening to them. We never mention Ernest Tubb without saying "...and Leon!" as that one comes up in a few of his studio recordings.

Was that the same "Leon" as Bob Wills called out?
About ten years ago I peeked into a vehicle storage lot in Rosamond, CA and saw a 40s-looking bus decorated for Ernest Tubb and his Texas Troubadours. I've always wondered if it was the real deal, or maybe a re-creation for a movie or TV show.

 

[AtomicEraTom]

That's a mighty fine question. I'll have to do some homework on that. I do know that Leon went on to be part of the Hee Haw band after leaving Tubb's band.

The Leon Bob Wills refers to was Leon McAuliffe while Ernest Tubb's Leon was Leon Rhodes who was later in the band on Hee Haw.

Thanks for saving me some research! lol

I think Leon really made Tubb's sound what it was in that era. His guitar work was very unique.

Listening to a little Bobby Vinton right now.

Bought 2 copies of that vinyl album from thrift stores in the '90s in college, to hear both sides on the stacker turntable without having to flip over...

Not many jazz "with strings" albums I like, but here's a great one, 1955, Clifford Brown, a year before his tragic death at age 25... Saxist Bennie Golson was in Dizzy Gillespie's band the night they got the news of "Brownie's" death in 1956, when the curtain was about to raise on a show; Golson recalled, "Everyone couldn't move with shock. With tears all over.. That such a sweet guy should die in a car crash!" The curtain went up and they played, but guys would stop playing in the middle of passages & cover their face with their hands...

From WP, "The clean-living Brown has been cited as perhaps breaking the influence of heroin on the jazz world. He won the Down Beat critics' poll for the "New Star of the Year" in 1954, and though he only left behind 4 years' worth of recordings, was an influential and highly rated musician, cited by many later players as an inspiration."

I agree with George Benson's, Breezin. A few years ago Donny Osmond who also likes George Benson's guitar solo on "Breezin" so much he wrote a song and added George's guitar solo to his song "Breeze on bye."
