The Ernest Tubb Story

Reception

In his AllMusic review, Bruce Eder wrote of the album "Some of the best work here, however, is on the Tubb solo vocal tracks such as "Blue Christmas." By this time, Tubb's voice had mellowed and softened to a rich, highly flexible baritone, more expressive than it had ever been before."
