The Shot Gun Boogie (Ford) by Tennessee Ernie, orchestra conducted by Cliff Stone

Five years before “Sixteen Tons,” the ol’ pea-picker was still being marketed primarily as a country music artist and had not yet expanded his professional billing to include the last name “Ford” Hot on the heels of his late-1950 top-5 cross-over duet “I’ll Never Be Free” with Kay Starr came his million-selling “The Shot Gun Boogie,” which spent an impressive 14 weeks atop the country juke box charts and reached #14 on the corresponding pop listings.
