THAT'S MY PA by SHEB WOOLEY

[Mr57255725]

Does anyone remember "The Dobro's Coming Back Again" by Sheb ? he done it as Ben Colder, I had the record years ago.

[hibob418]

I inherited this old, cracked, worn-out 45 from my older brothers in 1965. It skipped 3 grooves so I never knew about an entire half a verse of this song until hearing it just now.

Listening to it now 40 some years later, all I can think of is what jug of tainted moonshine or batch of skunkweed growing behind the barn ever caused someone to dream up this great old song.

[MrWaymore13]

@hibob418 Ha thats funny!

[bambijohns]

Little known to others who have heard Sheb sing is that he also was a bronc rider:) He was absolutely one talented dude,acting singing and rodeo, now what else can you do with one life:)))

[Featureman]

I always liked this recording. I used to play it on the air at KVEG Radio in 1963 when I was a deejay there.

[SuperGypsyLady]

used to listen to this with my dad. He would tell me how my grandpa laughed at this song.

[Devin76882]

Sheb Wooley was also in The OutLaw Josey Wales

[mrmjb1960]

Ferlin Husky also had an alter called Simon Crum,and had a hit with:Shut Up,Sit Down,I Love You".

[FreethinkingFun]

We have this man to thank for the Wilhelm Scream.

This song is true. Sheb and my Dad used to watch their Dad's come home after a night of being out on the "town" when they were boys in Oklahoma. He was just Sheb and used to visit us in Alaska where he came up with the character "Ben Colder". He got off the plane, looked at my Dad and said, "I've never been colder in my life!" His sense of humor was his personality and he wouldn't have been Sheb without it.

Some REAL Good Shit Right Here Yee Haw

[regierdi]

does anyone know the sheb wooley song-I'll leave the singing to the bluebirds? Dianne

[viken51]

Had an old 78 RPM when I was a kid in the late 50's. I believe it was Sheb Wooley, might have been his alter-ego, Ben Colder. It was on the MGM label. (I remember the yellow and black with the lion.) One side was a song called "Are You Satisfied?" and the other side was "Humdinger". Remember both tunes but can't track them down anywhere. If anyone can post one or both, I'd be very grateful.

[mkl62]

A #1 hit for the late Sheb Wooley on the Country & Western charts. It was the 53rd #1 C&W hit in the Rock Era.

[quatlucius]

Love this video, what a treasure. You just can't be sad listening to this.

[FoxRunMan]

Thanks for uploading this hard to find gem. I haven't heard this in maybe 50 years. I used to like Sheb on Rawhide (Pete Nolan), and I think he was also in High Noon. I agree with someone else who said that he wasted his time and talent messing around with his Ben Colder character.

[Calkan58]

The background singer that does the low Youpapadooba part sounds a lot like Red Sovine.

[pinenut50]

I wish we had music like this today. This is REAL country music.

[flintrub62]

I think Taylor Swift should put out a version of this song. Old school style. That would be awesome! It would rocket to number one!

[kubotaman87]

@flintrub62 that would be retarded

[virtualbush]

Amazing Classic.. Righteous.. America's music..

[tbarry1974]

This song is where I got my nickname - Skeet been with me 36 years now. Love it



[GreazyTony1]

Love this song!! In 1995 I made a sweeping statement that Kountry Korn music would be the next hot thing for trendy music collectors. Then when the movie Pecker came out in 1998 (w/ Paul Evens,Leroy Pullins . .etc), I thought 'That's it! my prediction was correct!'. That was about all that happened. It's still very hard to find the vinyl though.

[icut1]

I loved this tune when i was little.What memories.Thanks for posting.

[mpwardog]

I miss my daddy and papa singin this to me when i was little great song

[toesaregr8]

[SWINDELLS01]

What a find,fantastic.I used to listen to this on a jukebox in a place called Skipsea England much to the annoyance of rock n rollers!!!

[MMVAMPIRE]

where can i get download of sheb wooley's song "Old Rag Joe" from the album That's My Pa

[robertsewellca]

One of my favourite old tunes.

[MerrittStDiner]

Isn't it funny that this is the one country song which was never covered by any of the pop singers? Can't you imagine Perry Como singing this?

[molly195957]

Sheb used to come stay with us up in Alaska. He and my Dad were raised together in Oklahoma and I was privleged to have know him. This song was TRUE. My Dad and Sheb used to LAUGH at things that happened in their childhood. They also shared a blind mule. The stories were as wonderful as their friendship. Gotta admit, as a child I was confused when Sheb would visit and do radio spots as Ben Colder. "How can he be sober one minute then drunk the next?!" Sheb was the best! He is truly missed.

[zaaritha]

He was good as Sheb W. and Ben Colder!

[rickjolley]

Sheb, old by that time, plays a Cavalry Sergeant in _Silverado_. His line:

"I had a gal do that do me, it didn't make her my wife." is a keeper.

This song, too, is a keeper!! Thanks for reminding me -- I hadn't heard it in 30 years!

[misslady7880]

[dotwool]

GREAT TALENT IN MANY AREAS...SONGWRITING, ACTING, RECORDING...COMEDIAN...multi-a­ward winner in all these areas thruout his 70 yr career

Linda D- nashville

[tarquin45]

I bought this on a 45 way back in 1962 on the MGM label. I always felt Sheb could have been a pretty decent country singer instead of messing about on his Ben Colder persona.

[AlanPaladin]

..yes I saw him in concert back in '63, He joked & said His Dad sued Him about the song so He was going to sing it every chance He got, ha, ha,

I also remember Him on the old Rawhide TV show, I used to watch it every saterday back in those times...
