		Youngest of five children in a sharecropper’s family, Ernest Tubb was born on a cotton farm near Crisp, Texas (thirty-five miles southeast of Dallas) and spent his youth farming in different parts of the state.
		Tubb learned in his spare time to sing, yodel, and play the guitar much like Rodgers did, and shortly after Rodgers’s death in 1933, nineteen-year-old Ernest Tubb first worked as a radio singer in San Antonio, city of Rodgers’s final residence.
		Tubb’s singing paid little or nothing, so he supported himself digging ditches for the WPA and later clerking in a drugstore in the Alamo City.

	Ernest Tubb Reviews
		Tubb's road show was the prototypical honky-tonk package, playing every night for your listening and dancing pleasure, as he says, till 1:30 in the morning, when the band would pack up the bus and head for the next nightclub.
		Tubb's Texas Troubadours were one of the first touring country bands to add electric guitar (so the band could be heard above the honky-tonks' raucous din) and to use drums (for the same reason).
		Despite the age of the original master tape, the listener has the impression of being in a front-row seat at a show in which Tubb was obviously having the time of his life.

		His Texas Troubodors at the time were a good band, but Ernest's voice had coarsened quite a bit by then.
		Even the 1958 remakes originally on the Decca/MCA "Greatest Hits" and "Ernest Tubb Story" were pretty good...but this album is for completists only.
		Tubb was the best of the best, I remember his songs on this CD from when I was a child, there is a song I believe he recorded called My Mother Was A Lady, I would really like to find that one.

		This book is a must for any Ernest Tubb fan, and for anyone who wants to learn more about this great artist and great man. I highly recommend this book.
		The writing is almost as dogged and linear as Tubb was during his years on the road -- not terribly elegant, literary or evocative, but the research is solid, including countless interviews with band members, industry movers, and Tubb relations.
		An authoritative resource for anyone who would like to find out how Tubb helped form the sound of hard country honkytonk in the early '40s, and how he later helped boost the careers of musicians such as Hank Snow, Hank Thompson and Loretta Lynn, and how Nashville eventually let him slide out of sight.

		Tubb's rough-edged but relaxed and easygoing baritone was limited from day one and years of booze and cigarettes didn't help matters, but few were as expressive and genuine--check out "(A Memory) That's All You'll Ever Be to Me" for proof.
