Popis interpreta Ernest Tubb Upravit životopis
Ernest Dale Tubb, přezdívaný též Texaský trubadůr (9. února 1914, Cris, Texas, USA - 6. září 1984, Nashville, Tennessee, USA) byl americký zpěvák a skladatel, jeden ze zakladatelů americké country hudby, člen Grand Ole Opry.
Pocházel z chudé farmářské rodiny, jeho otec byl pachtýř, tedy prostý zemědělský nájemce, který se dost často stěhoval z místa na místo. V mládí byl ovlivněn zejména zpívajícím brzdařem Jimmie Rodgersem, kterého se snažil napodobovat, učil se zpívat, jódlovat a hrát na kytaru. V roce 1933 dostal svoji první práci zpěváka v místní rozhlasové stanici v San Antoniu, což ale tehdy byla dost špatně placená práce, takže si musel dále přivydělávat jako dělník a prodavač.
V roce 1936 navázal přátelství s vdovou po Jimmie Rodgersovi, která mu posléza pomojla s vydání jeho prvních dvou desek u společnosti RCA, které ale nebyly příliš úspěšné. V roce 1939 po závažné operaci hlasivek se začal více věnovat skladatelské činnosti. V roce 1940 začal nahrávat pro novou společnost Decca, v roce 1943 se stal členem Grand Ole Opry. Jeho nejplodnější období nastalo po 2. světové válce, na konci 40. let a pokračovalo i v 50. letech 20. století, kdy napsal desítky známých countryových hitů.
