(1 Customer Review)
The four-disc, 100-track TEXAS TROUBADOR covers Ernest Tubb's career from 1936, when he was the pride of San Angelo, Texas (the small town where the young singer/songwriter had his first radio show, immortalized in the 1940 gem "Swell San Angelo"), to 1952, when he was one of the biggest country stars in Nashville. (Tubb even owned his own record shop that advertised on the Grand Ole Opry.) The set is not only a thorough history of Tubb's early years, it's also a neat recapitulation of the ascendance of honky-tonk music, from its humble beginnings to the days of goofy novelty hits like 1952's "Merry Texas Christmas You All!" The budget-priced set has minimal graphics and liner notes, but the sound is better than one normally finds in this kind of inexpensive reissue. Hardcore Tubb devotees will yearn for the comprehensive and thorough Bear Family reissues, and newcomers might be happier with one of the single-disc compilations, but THE TEXAS TROUBADOR will surely please the folks between those extremes.
Ernest Tubb's country music legacy is an enormous one. He introduced amplified instruments onto the Grand Old Opry, spearheaded the honky tonk movement in country music and supported and encouraged numerous young artists in the business. 100 tracks are included in this 4 CD box which comes with a 48 page booklet bearing all the Proper hallmarks.

Texas Troubadour CD music
$11.85 Over the course of their career, Scotland's Country Teasers have issued albums through such well-respected labels as Crypt and Fat Possum Records (the latter an offshoot of über-indie Epitaph). Having parted ways with Fat Possum following the release of 1999's Destroy All Human Life, the Teasers' latest effort sports the imprint of In the Red Records, known for its roster of grimy garage punk outfits like Pussy Galore, Cheater Slicks, Andre Williams, and Dan Melchior's Broke Revue (whose 2002 release, Heavy Dirt, mines a warped country & western rock vein similar to that of the Teasers). The intriguingly titled Science Hat, Artistic Cube, Moral Nosebleed Empire, or SAME for short, is a collection of rarities culled from the group's back catalog (the majority from its days at Guided Missile Records). Rather like the polar opposite of a greatest-hits compilation, the rarities collection carries with it relatively low expectations, and both types of records are generally understood to be standard-issue filler between proper albums -- simply a way of keeping a group's name active. As with the majority of these sorts of releases, SAME is a mixed bag in which quality typically lingers somewhere between being genuinely interesting and purely self-indulgent, generally leaning more toward the former. Overall, the album doesn't really throw too many curves the listener's ...
