“That was something for him to do that because he didn’t know me. And he put me in the Ernest Tubb Record Shop just about every Saturday night. Ernest Tubb helped me a lot.”

Here is an old pic of Mr. Tubb with Red Foley. Red, born Clyde Julian Foley, came into the world today in 1910. He was a huge country music star in the 40's and 50s and had several recordings with ET. They portrayed on-air feud that they maintained over the years, but were, in fact, good friends. Red was the host of the legendary tv show 'Ozark Jubilee' on which Mr; Tubb, along most other Country stars of the day, performed.

Born today in 1937 was Waylon Jennings. Waylon's story is a wild one that would almost be unbelievable if we knew it wasn't true. From Buddy Holly to The Outlaws to The Highwaymen to The Dukes of Hazzard and all things in between, he lived it all. Pop in some Waylon today and let's have a cold one for 'A Man Called Hoss'.

Johnny Cash's single 'Ring of Fire' entered the Co

Johnny Cash's single 'Ring of Fire' entered the Country singles chart for the first time on this day in 1963. The song, written by June Carter and Merle Kilgore, would ascend all the way to #1. June's sister, Anita, actually recorded the song a year earlier with the title 'Love's Ring of Fire'. It failed to chart, but is a fantastic cut. Go find it on YouTube.

On this day in 1947 Hank Williams' 'Move It On Ove

On this day in 1947 Hank Williams' 'Move It On Over' was released by MGM. It was recorded at Castle Studio in Nashville during Hanks very first session for the label. This was in a period before session players, so Red Foley's backing band was brought in to record.

The Rolling Stones arrived in America for the first time on this day in 1964. They landed in NYC to embark on their first US tour. No one could have envisioned the mark they would go on to make in music and culture and that they would still be touring the country over 50 years later.

B.J. Thomas has passed away at the age of 78. B.J. topped the Country, Pop and Contemporary charts in 1975 with '(Hey Won't You Play) Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song'.

The ETRS family would like to send our strength to the family, fans and friends of B.J. Thomas. Your music and voice will live on forever. 'Thanks a lot'.

Here is a rare photo of Mr. Tubb and his first wife Elaine. They actually married on this day back in 1934. He wrote the song 'Blue Eyed Elaine' in her honor and released it in 1940. If you listen to the song you can hear the Jimmie Rodgers influences in Mr. Tubb's voice and delivery.

Born on this day back in 1893 was one of the very

Born on this day back in 1893 was one of the very first commercial country recording artists ever. Ernest "Pop" Stoneman was born in a log cabin in Monarat, Virginia. Pop learned and excelled at many instruments including, the guitar, harmonica, banjo and autoharp. He was musically influenced by his Appalachian and Blue Ridge Mountain upbringing. Pop took these origins into his writing and recording sessions. You can hear the birth of recorded bluegrass and American country music in his songs. Pop was a true pioneer and laid the groundwork for the next phase in honky tonk and country sounds.

The music world lost one of the most influential,

The music world lost one of the most influential, accomplished, talented and respected drummers who ever lived. Roger Hawkins passed away yesterday at the age of 75. Roger was part of the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section, also known as the Swampers, along with David Hood (bass), Jimmy Johnson (guitar) and Barry Beckett (keys).

They formed, arguably, the most successful group of session musicians who ever came together. Every person reading this post has danced to their beats and rhythms. Roger provided the backbeat to some of the most played songs in the history of American music. 'Mustang Sally'...that's Roger. 'Respect'...that's Roger. 'I'll Take You There'...Roger, too. 'Against the Wind', 'Kodachrome', 'Land of 1000 Dances'....Roger drummed on all of those. The list is seemingly endless.

When Jerry Wexler calls you ‘the greatest drummer of all time.’ and Lynyrd Skynyrd name-checks you in 'Sweet Home Alabama' you know you've hit them skins just right.
