Al Hirt Plays “Tennessee Waltz”

Album:Al Hirt Live At Carnegie Hall

Track:Tennessee Waltz
"Tennessee Waltz" was written in 1948 by Western Swing masters Rodd Stewart and Pee Wee King and popularly revived in 1951 by Patty Page who made the song her signature tune. More recently, country star Jean Shepard has taken up the song and sings it regularly on the Grand Ole Opry stage in Nashville, TN. Gerald Wilson has written a vaguely humorous chart in waltz time with the band swinging away gloriously while Al Hirt plays a fervid performance that is all sugar and spice with the spice taking over.
