Tennessee Ernie Ford - Very Best Of

Tennessee Ernie Ford, will go down in music history for his best-known song 'Sixteen Tons'. Penned by country legend Merle Travis, it put Ford at the top of the Billboard chart for seven weeks in late 1955-early 1956, selling a million copies in just three weeks. It was also Capitol Records' first Number 1 of the rock era. He also hosted a Thursday-night variety show, which ran for nearly five years, and had several big hits in the US and UK. His music endures, and this vinyl collection of his very best songs is testament to a unique performer
