About The Record:

By Request, by country music pioneer Ernest Tubb, showcases Tubb's signature honky-tonk style with heartfelt covers of classics like Lefty Frizzell's Mom and Dad's Waltz, Bob Wills' My Shoes Keep Walking Back to You, and Leon Payne's Lost Highway, alongside lesser-known tracks that highlight his warm vocals and steel guitar-driven sound. Released during a transitional phase in Tubb's career, it reflects his role in preserving the honky-tonk tradition he helped define with his 1941 hit Walking the Floor Over You, which contributed to his 1965 induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame. The album reached No. 28 on the Billboard Country Albums chart, affirming Tubb's enduring appeal amid the rise of newer country artists. Its beloved covers remain significant in country music history.
