BECAUSE I AM ROY - THAT'S WHY

Complete with choo-choo sound effects and the harmonica solo of some long-imagined cowboy, Acuff's version of "Wabash Cannonball" was an early instance of country culture rising to meet the needs of city entertainment – the band even changed their name to the Smoky Mountain Boys once they made the Grand Ole Opry, presumably to retain that rural flavor. No surprise that he soon got into publishing and later ran for office – his moves always did seem a little strategic. But these are milestones, too; moments of friction in the development of a style as it took shape within the listening public at large.
