Tennessee Ernie Ford
1950s1951RareLiveyoutube

I didn't have good video for this but I did have some decent audio from this 16mm film which I tried to sync.Video footage of Cliffie Stone's Hometown Jamboree Band with Jimmy Bryant and Speedy West backing Tennessee Ernie Ford in 1951 or 52 ? (Not sure of this date). There are 4 songs here.I do know they also did the song (Women is a Five letter word) at this session but I didn't have the video for it.Video quality is bad but any footage of Jimmy and Speedy playing together is rare ......great stuff! Guitar - Jimmy Bryant Guitar - Eddie Kirk Steel Guitar - Speedy West Piano / Accordian Billy Liebert Bass - Al Williams Drums - Roy Harte
