Ranch Radio will close out this weeks look at Emmett Miller and his influence on country music and artists with a triple play.Miller recorded Anytime three times: 1924 & 1928 for Okeh, and 1936 for Bluebird. Eddy Arnold had a big hit with the tune in 1948 and is our first selection today (Also recorded by Patsy Cline, Jimmy Dean and many pop singers such as Dean Martin)
Miller recorded I Ain't Got Nobody in 1928 for Okeh and in 1936 for Bluebird. Bob Wills & Tommy Duncan also recorded it in 1936, but today we give you Asleep At The Wheel & Don Walser performing the song.
Our final selection is Merle Haggard's live performance of Big Bad Bill Is Sweet William Now. Haggard also had a studio recording of the tune, but it was the live performance where he gives the tribute. My date and place of recording differs from what Haggard says, but who am I to disagree with the great Merle Haggard.
