Tennessee Ernie Ford quotes
" I snapped my fingers all through it. Sometimes I set my own tempo during rehearsal by doing that. "

Tennessee Ernie Ford
" I'd sung Sixteen Tons years before, but it hadn't been any blockbuster, and Merle Travis, who'd written it, had put it in an album of his songs. Nothing happened then either. "

Tennessee Ernie Ford
" It takes more than just desperate looking through old material to make a smash of an eight-year-old song. "

Tennessee Ernie Ford
" Sixteen Tons was written eight years before I recorded it. "

Tennessee Ernie Ford
" They liked Sixteen Tons at Capitol, when I brought it over and suggested that they record it, but nobody threw a fit over it. "

Tennessee Ernie Ford
" We decided to do some of Merle's things with modern instrumentation. We used a flute, a bass clarinet, a trumpet, a clarinet, drums, a guitar, vibes and a piano. "

Tennessee Ernie Ford
" When you do a show five days a week and one night a week, the way I was doing, you use up so much music every day that pretty soon you find yourself hustling for material. "

Tennessee Ernie Ford
" You can keep rummaging around until you find a song you like, but you can't predict whether it'll hit or not. "

Tennessee Ernie Ford
" You can't cheat the public for long. "

Tennessee Ernie Ford
" You do repeats and you do songs in the top 20-that way you keep current-but if you do six songs a day five days a week, pretty soon you're scratching for stuff you can use as hard as a starving hen in a concrete barnyard. "
