The Daddy Of 'Em All - Ernest Tubb

 

I Know My Baby Loves Me In Her Own Peculiar Way

The Daddy Of 'Em All
Ernest Tubb
Decca Records DL 8553
1957

From the back cover: Texas-born-and-bred Ernest Tubb, is undoubtedly one of America's most cherished singers of cowboy and country ballads – equally successful on the air, on the screen and on records. Besides his talent as singer, he has the extra gift of being a composer – more than one hundred songs are chalked up to his credit, including the added tribute of having been recorded by Bing Crosby.

All this comes as natural to Ernie as riding and ranching. He was, in fact, born on a ranch in Ellis County, Texas, where he picked up the lullabies of the bunk-house and learned to play the guitar practically in the saddle. He has come a long way since that time. Now one of the most famous folk singers in the nation, he has starred in three Western movies, has done a tremendous amount of recording and, along with Red Foley, has starred in WSM's popular "Grand Ole Opry." His close friendship with Foley is evidenced in a previous album entitled Red And Ernie (DL 8298)
