EricHOST
This next one is technically a bummer, but I do not think the music matches the sentiment.
EricHOST
So here is Don Gibson and Bad Bad Day on Classic Country Corner.
EricHOST
It's
Don GibsonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
been a bad, bad day for me.
George JonesSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
you've gotta be my baby Be nobody's baby but mine
EricHOST
That was George Jones and You Gotta Be My Baby.
EricHOST
Before that, we heard Don Gibson and Bad Bad Day.
EricHOST
Alright, looking at the cap.
MarkHOST
I, maybe I've heard it then if it's this common, although I'm not a big country guy, I like some of these classic or it's pretty good.
MarkHOST
Um, but yeah, originally by someone named Don Gibson was a country artist.
MilesHOST
Oh, I don't think I've heard the original.
MilesHOST
Lasso Blues is stupid, though.
KarlHOST
But the new one for this episode is Oh Lonesome Me, which is the name of Mountain Tim's Stand.
KarlHOST
This is a reference to Oh Lonesome Me, a 1958 song by American country singer and songwriter Don Gibson that topped the country charts for eight non-consecutive weeks.
KarlHOST
And in doing a little bit of research on the song and giving it a listen, which it is a catchy tune, uh, it's interesting because there's one YouTube video that features the audio from the song, but it has comments disabled, while there's another video that features the audio which has comments open and features [laughs] responses like, "Perfect music for getting lost in the desert and with comrades dying of thirst," or, "Yes, my favorite Don Gibson song, Lasso Blues," [laughs] which w- I'm sure we'll talk about later.
KarlHOST
And then the second reference, which we kind of already talked about in the previous episode, is with the name of the Boom Boom family's collection of Stands, which is Tomb of the Boom 123.
KarlHOST
And this is a reference to Tomb of the Boom, which was a track on OutKast's critically and commercially acclaimed album, Speakerboxx/The Love Below, which, again, is a reference to the family's namesake.
Harold SheddHOST
That's why I've had this conversation with you a few times.
Harold SheddHOST
How you can play I Can't Stop Loving You by Don Gibson and then Since I Met You Baby by Ivory Johanna and you can play them back to back.
Harold SheddHOST
That's because of block programming.
Harold SheddHOST
People love what they love and they don't put labels on it.
Wayne BledsoeGUEST
Knoxville has always been this kind of odd place where everything comes together.
Wayne BledsoeGUEST
I mean, you think about Chet Atkins and Homer and Jethro and Don Gibson, who all s- started their careers in Knoxville, and, uh, Chet Atkins was listening to the Hot Club of France.
Wayne BledsoeGUEST
Chet Atkins and Jethro Burns from Homer and Jethro were both listening to Stephane Grappelli and, uh, Django Reinhardt.
Jim LenahanHOST
Wow.
Harold SheddGUEST
that was before CMA and Dale was, was one of the great, great guys of that era.
Harold SheddGUEST
He and Don Gibson and George Jones and, uh, some other artists, Jim Reeves, uh, they, they all, they all migrated to Nashville at a certain time of the year, every year.
Harold SheddGUEST
But when I moved to Nashville, uh, permanently, uh, I, I, worked for a man named Scotty Turner who actually moved me to Nashville.
Harold SheddGUEST
He ran United Artist Records and later on Liberty Records.
Bridger WinegarHOST
Most of the music I listen to has some level of guitar in it.
Bridger WinegarHOST
One song, I got a guitar 15, 16 years ago and tried to learn because I wanted to play this song called Sea of Heartbreak by Don Gibson, an old country song.
Bridger WinegarHOST
One of the best songs ever.
Bridger WinegarHOST
Yeah.
Roger ScottHOST

Roger ScottHOST

Roger ScottHOST

Roger ScottHOST

Fred BartensteinGUEST
And so he would occasionally fly me out with $15,000, $20,000 in cash and a briefcase to put on one of these concerts and close out at the end of the night and pay...
Fred BartensteinGUEST
Loretta Lynn, Conway Twitty, Merle Haggard, Jerry Lee Lewis, Hank Jr., Don Gibson.
