The Smokey Mountain Boy they called him. Without a doubt, he was one of the truly great legends of country music was Roy Acuff. The one person you could count on seeing at the Opry on
Saturday night if you were lucky enough to get a ticket was Mr. Acuff.
You always knew when he was next without having the announcer tell you. For you would hear those distinctive dobro intros from Brother Oswald. Songs like Wabash Cannonball, Great Speckled
Bird, Wreck on the Highway, Night Train to Memphis, Fireball Mail, Tennessee Waltz.
They called him the King of Country Music. He was indeed one of the favorites of Grand Ole Opry audiences and audiences around the world.
