Ernest Tubb & The Texas Troubadours - Another Story [1999] (6 x CDs)

If you’re craving a deep dive into Ernest Tubb’s post-‘50s catalogue, the period where his honky tonk roots met the changing tides of Nashville production, Another Story is a box set worth spending time with. Issued by Bear Family in 1999, this six-disc behemoth doesn’t just skim the hits. It opens up the vaults with 179 songs, 6 of them previously unissued, including hard-to-find sessions, alternate takes, duets with Loretta Lynn, and overlooked story-songs that deserve fresh ears.

Sure, you’ll find classics like “Waltz Across Texas” and “You Beat All I Ever Saw,” but what really shines here are the rarities: tracks like “Cool It,” “Mama, Who Was That Man?,” and “The Busiest Memory in Town” paint a more textured, introspective picture of Tubb’s artistry during this stretch. Then there are the surprising curveballs, like his take on “Games People Play,” the jazzy “Tuxedo Junction,” and a handful of Hank Williams covers that let his voice crackle with lived-in gravitas.

The duets with Loretta Lynn add another layer of chemistry and charm, songs like “Beautiful Friendship,” “If We Put Our Heads Together,” and “Touch and Go” reveal a wry tenderness between the two that never feels forced. These collaborations, tucked between solo cuts and barroom shuffles, feel like secret postcards from a particular moment in country music’s history.

Behind it all is Tubb’s stalwart band, the Texas Troubadours, featuring players like Leon Rhodes and Buddy Charleton, musicians whose fingerprints are all over this era’s best country recordings. Their touch gives the sessions warmth and swing, grounding even the most melancholy ballads in something deeply human.

If you looking for traces the quieter, twilight years of honky tonk or just rediscovering what made Ernest Tubb such a singular storyteller, this collection offers a panoramic view of a voice that never lost its twang or truth. (B)
