Tubb was quite like many country music stars of the era in that he insisted his bands play note-for-note from his records, and not venture out on wild improvised solos during his shows. Tubb's road bands varied from good to excellent, from well rehearsed to ragged, depending on the chemistry and the virtuosity of the musicians in the group. Some of the best-known Troubadours during the early years included the brothers Jimmie and Leon Short, and lead guitarists 'Butterball' Paige and Billy Byrd. Tubb had first achieved success in the 1940s and would continue touring with dozens of different line-ups of Troubadours over the next five decades before retiring from the road in 1982. Ernest Tubb was well known for including 'star sidemen' in many of the various line-ups of his Texas Troubadours. At the top of the heap, rabidly discussed by fans, worshipped by fellow musicians, were bands that included 'star sidemen,' or musicians that achieved fame on their own without benefit of a hit record.
