Well, first. I have never really liked country and western music. I prefer classical music, opera, and my favorite to play traditional Jazz, Dixieland, New Orleans, Kansas City, or San Francisco style. Nut I have also always been willing to recognize and appreciate great talent in other forms of music. Ray Acuff was a wonderful musician, and this is a great song and a great recoding. Thanks for sharing it.
This song is where all the other country musicians stop in their tracks, and observe the beauty and pride of where their music comes from. It's the pride inside generations of hardship and perseverance. Whenever I hear Meryl Haggard sing "I take alot of pride in what I am", or "The fighting side of me", I think of this song. It's Alabama, Loretta Lynn, Willie Nelson. It's all country music in one song. The pride of the sacrifices made to be an America, to have one. And it was the number one song that inspired our troops in WW2. Every person at Arlington cemetery who heard this is immortalized by it.
When a Dobro, or a steel guitar is included, that's country. Nowadays, some yutz thinks he's "country" just because he's singing through his nose about a dirt road, or a pickup truck while wearing a Stetson and a pair of boots.
From an excellent, humble and true country music singer legend - Roy Acuff! R. I. P., Mr. Acuff!

Amen brother.

Some things money can't buy.
At school I have a music class I learned what the Wabash cannonball is
No one could ever do it any better than the King and his Smokey Mt Boys

Where was Onie ? Guess he had to do Real Work when they were taping.
GOOD !🇩🇿
Lo mejor del cantry
Much better then this rap!
He didn't do the whistle
I think the harmonica player -- Jimmy Riddle -- took over.
@@ClassicTVMan1981X but it's not the same
I am stumped: why didn't Roy himself do his trademark thing on this performance?
I am also stumped about: why no Onie Wheeler here?
Onie Wheeler was the one who did the Whistle with his Mouth/Throat. He also played Harmonica. Guess he had to work when they were doing the taping.
The fiddle guy with an other 100 pounds and there will be no difference with Rufus Thibodeau
