SIXTEEN TONS | Low Bass Singer Cover

Tennessee Ernie Ford is a legend and I hope I've done his classic tune "Sixteen Tons" justice in this re-imagining of it. Thanks for watching!

👇You can watch me mine for coal here👇

"Sixteen Tons" was Originally performed by Tennessee Ernie Ford and his version is brilliant and iconic. I first heard this song in the title sequence of "Joe Vs The Volcano" when I was but a wee babe. You don't know that movie? Tom Hanks + Meg Ryan + giant suitcases + orange soda = hilarity.

This version of "Sixteen Tons" was produced and arranged by me. Don't bother teasing me about it in the comments, I'm already busy in the gym working on my spaghetti arms.
Audio Mix by Ed Boyer.
Production Manager: Kathy Castellucci

My grandfather was a miner for 35 years until his lungs just couldn't take it anymore and he had to retire. He would sing this song to me over and over until he died at the age of 93.

Everyone talks about his deep voice but I'm admiring this arrangement. This version has such a catchy jazzy vibe it's astounding.

Sixteen Tons" is a song written by Merle Travis about a coal miner, based on life in the mines of Muhlenberg County, Kentucky.[2] Travis first recorded the song at the Radio Recorders Studio B in Hollywood, California, on August 8, 1946. Cliffie Stone played bass on the recording. It was first released in July 1947 by Capitol on Travis's album Folk Songs of the Hills.[3] The song became a gold record.

[cronocort]

this man deserves to have millions of subs.

he is the reason i embraced my low voice and stopped trying to sing high tenor.

My four-year old son can't stop listening to Geoff in the car. He is 100% sure that this is THE WHALE singing, and it makes him incredibly happy and joyful 😃

My uncle used to sing this in the shower everyday. Drove my aunt crazy. He taught it to us and his kids just to aggravate her lol. Thank you for bringing back good memories on a very bad day

[DaThKult]

His voice is so deep, the man described in the song went to the mine just to dig it up
