Ranch Radio today is responding to a request that was generated this weekend at the 98th Luna County Old Timers Association Reunion.

The tune is Sixteen Chickens And A Tambourine by Roy Acuff & His Smoky Mountain Boys. It was recorded in Nashville on June 25, 1953 and was released on Capitol F-2548. In addition to Acuff the members of the band in the studio that day were Lonnie Wilson, Lester Esterhasy, Beecher Kirby, Joseph Zincan, Jimmy Riddle and of course Howdy Forrester on fiddle.

The tune is available on the 4 CD box set King of Country Music on the Proper record label and on the 2 CD collection King Of Country Music on the Bear Family label
