For almost half a century, Ernest Tubb was never far from the top of any list of country’s most popular artists.28 of those hits came in the 1950s – probably ET’s most commercially successful decade overall. This new Jasmine package concentrates specifically on the period from January 1955 to December 1958, bringing you the A and B sides – in chronological order – of all 15 of the man’s 45s from those years. Of those 15, eight reached the Country Top 20 and of those 8, five reached the Top 10 – a measure of how popular ET still was, more than 20 years after he cut his first recordings.ET had the biggest country hit with the much-recorded ‘The Yellow Rose Of Texas’, took on rhythm & blues and rock ‘n’ roll with covers of Chuck Berry’s ‘Thirty Days’ and Chuck Willis’ ‘What Am I Living For’, helped the up and coming Wilburn Brothers kick-start their chart career with duets on ‘Mister Love’ and ‘Hey, Mr. Bluebird’ and brought a young, struggling songwriter called Roger Miller his first big chart hit with the title track of our collection ‘Half A Mind’. These are just some of the many highlights on display here.
