Known as Mr. Country, Carl Smith was one of the most popular honky tonkers of
the 50s, racking up over 30 Top Ten hits over the course of the decade. Smith
was also able to sustain that popularity into the late 70s, during which time he
had a charting single for every year except one. Smith had a talent for singing
smooth ballads which polished the rough edges of hardcore country. Nevertheless,
he could sing pure honky tonk with the best of them, and his hardest country was
made tougher by the addition of a drum kit. Smith was one of the very first
country artists to regularly perform with a drummer, and though it earned him
criticism at the time, the hard-driving sound of those up-tempo numbers proved
to be influential. Smith also occasionally dabbled in Western swing, and as he
continued to record, he delved deeper into the genre. Since he specialized in
honky tonk ballads and Western swing, Smith rarely crossed over into the pop
audience. Still, he was one of the most popular and best-known country singers
of his era, recording several classics — including Lets Live a Little,
Let Old Mother Nature Have Her Way, This Orchard Means Goodbye, Cut Across
Shorty, Loose Talk, (When You Feel Like Youre in Love) Dont Just Stand There,
and Hey Joe! — appearing in a handful of movies, and hosting his own
television show. By the time he retired in the early 80s, he had hit the country
charts nearly 100 times.
