Cal Smith - Country Bumpkin

Cal Smith emerged from Ernest Tubb's Texas Troubadours and got his first solo recording contract with the help of his boss, signing for Kapp Records in 1966. He had a few minor chart hits, then in late 1970 he changed to Decca and started having major success in the following years, with three of his releases even reaching the #1 position: "The Lord Knows I'm Drinking" (1973), "Country Bumpkin" (1974) and "It's Time To Pay The Fiddler" (1975).

Thank-You for sharing this song, we played this song over and over - very loud back in the great days of Country Music. If only we could turn back time sometimes

My dad downloaded this back in the days of "free" Napster and I was like 11/12 and browsing the music one day and found this. I'd never heard it so I clicked on it and listened to it ultra-quiet so no one would hear lol. The rest is history as they say. My mom deplores this kind of music and I still don't my dad knows I like this. I'm now 24.

Double-whammy for me as a kid, had to hide my punk rock AND classic country music habits.

Loretta Lynn once commented that Cal Smith has one of the finest voices in all of country music. This song displays that to full advantage.
