Boots and Saddle ShowShow Notes
We'll be back to our regularly scheduled programming next week but until then, we're back with a bonus episode and another in our "Must-have Record Series". This week, it's as close to perfection as we'll listen to the entirety of the 1963 Decca Records masterpiece, Ernest Tubb Sings Just Call Me Lonesome (And Other Great Songs by Rex Griffin). Along the way, we'll hear a few from Rex himself + a song (one of many) that he penned to became staples, and even hits for other artists. - - - BOOTS & SADDLE (2.0) | BONUS EPISODE [FEB. 2026] “Must-have Record Series” Vol. 2.
