Ernest Tubb is one of the most iconic figures in country music history. His distinctive voice, his signature guitar style, and his honest and heartfelt songs have influenced generations of singers and songwriters. The box set, Ernest Tubb - The Yellow Rose Of Texas (1954-1960) [1995], is a tribute to his legacy and a treasure for his fans. It contains 150 songs that span the most productive and successful period of his career, when he was at the peak of his popularity and creativity.

The box set covers a wide range of themes and genres that showcase Tubb’s versatility and talent. There are songs of love and heartbreak, such as “Two Glasses, Joe”, “Half a Mind”, and “Thanks a Lot”. There are songs of patriotism and pride, such as “The Yellow Rose Of Texas”, “Waltz Across Texas”, and “Soldier’s Last Letter”. There are songs of humor and fun, such as “Drivin’ Nails in My Coffin”, “I’m Bitin’ My Fingernails and Thinking of You”, and “Thirty Days”. There are also songs that reflect Tubb’s musical influences and innovations, such as “Kansas City Blues”, “Mr. Juke Box”, and “Big City”.

There are songs that were recorded for radio shows or commercials, such as “I Love You Because” and “Pepsi-Cola”. There are songs that were never issued on singles or albums, such as “I’m Gonna Make My Home a Million Miles from Here” and “I’m With a Crowd But So Alone”. These tracks offer a glimpse into Tubb’s personality and work ethic, as well as his experimentation with different sounds and styles.

The box set comes with extensive liner notes, session notes, and photographs that provide insight into Tubb’s life and career. The liner notes are written by Rich Kienzle, a renowned country music historian and journalist. They give a detailed account of Tubb’s biography, achievements, challenges, and legacy. The session notes list the dates, locations, musicians, producers, and engineers involved in each recording. They reveal the behind-the-scenes stories and anecdotes that add to the appreciation of the songs. The photographs are taken from various sources, such as magazines, newspapers, albums, posters, and personal collections. They capture Tubb’s charisma, charm, and character on stage and off stage.

The box set, Ernest Tubb - The Yellow Rose Of Texas (1954-1960) [1995], is a must-have for any fan of Ernest Tubb or classic country music. It is a comprehensive and definitive collection of his music that showcases his artistry and legacy. It is also a testament to his enduring influence and relevance in the country music scene.
