Ernest Tubb - Waltz Across Texas With You
Ernest Dale Tubb (February 9, 1914 -- September 6, 1984), nicknamed the Texas Troubadour, was an American singer and songwriter and one of the pioneers of country music. His biggest career hit song, "Walking the Floor Over You" (1941), marked the rise of the honky tonk style of music. In 1948, he was the first singer to record a hit version of "Blue Christmas", a song more commonly associated with Elvis Presley and his mid-1950s version. Another well-known Tubb hit was "Waltz Across Texas" (1965), which became one of his most requested songs and is often used in dance halls throughout Texas during waltz lessons. Tubb recorded duets with the then up-and-coming Loretta Lynn in the early 1960s, including their hit "Sweet Thang". Tubb is a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame.
I came across this yesterday from watching the peerless exquisite ‘Better Call Saul’ [Season 2 Episode 3] on the newly acquired Netflix which I am currently steeped in!
Better than Breaking Bad!? Contentious I grant you but it is currently making me laugh and cry and feel sloppily sentimental and laugh like a drain. It is frankly brilliant A work of genius I think . . . . . . . props to the wonderful Bob Odenkirk, Rhea Seehorn, and Jonathan Banks and not forgetting creators Vince Gilligan & Peter Gould.
