Justin Tubb

7" Vinyl (500 Limited Edition Yellow Vinyl)Vee-Tone Records are delighted to bring you four previously unreleased, mid-fifties radio session recordings by Justin Tubb. These stunning recordings come presented on vinyl as they should be! This must have deluxe 7" EP package, comes in yellow vinyl, with a full colour high gloss shrink wrapped sleeve, and is the essential addition to any Hillbilly or Rockabilly collection. Justin was the eldest son, of Country Music Legend, Ernest Tubb. Despite being hugely talented, he had a relatively short recording career, and never reached the superstar status of his father. These recordings hail from his mid-fifties Decca Records period, where he recorded both Hillbilly and Rockabilly sides. These recordings were made for Country Style USA (circa 1956), a short 15 minute public service broadcast made for US Armed Forces recruitment purposes. Our hard driving, rockin opener, You Nearly Lose Your Mind, written by his father, is a superb piece of Rockabilly / Hillbilly crossover (a studio version was released on Decca 9-29895, 1956). Its interesting to note, that when given the opportunity of US wide exposure, he chose to perform predominantly recordings by his peers, and didnt opt for safe Country standards. Next up is a fine version of It Takes A Lot O' Heart, a beginners guide to modern romance (a studio version was released on Decca 9-30062, 1956). Opening up side two, is the Marty Robbins track, Lucky Lucky Someone Else, a tale of lost love, and anguish. theres a theme here. (a studio version was released on Decca 9-29895, 1956). Closing off side two is a real beauty, George Jones, All I Want To Do, a track Justin never even released as a studio recording!
