- Although one of the most famous songs associated with the Sons of the Pioneers, it was composed by Bob Nolan in the 1930s while working as a caddy in Los Angeles. Originally titled "Tumbling Tumble Leaves" the song was renamed Tumbling Tumbleweeds and rose to fame with the 1935 Gene Autry film of the same name.
My soon to be 95-year-old mother sang this along with her seven sisters growing up during the depression down in the hot desert of Yuma and imperial California. We're going to sing it at her 95th birthday Saturday.
Probably bring a tear to All our Eyes ❤
A member of my parish church turned 95 around the time of your mother's birthday!!!
When I was a wee boy my dad used to play his guitar and sing this song for me. It was my favourite as I always asked him “play the tumbleweeds dad”. I miss my Pa.
Bob Nolan (born Clarence Robert Nobles, April 13, 1908 - June 16, 1980. Name changed to Robert Clarence Nobles in 1929) was a Canadian-born American singer, songwriter, and actor. He was a founding member of the Sons of the Pioneers, and composer of numerous Country music and Western music songs, including the standards "Cool Water" and "Tumbling Tumbleweeds." He is generally regarded as one of the finest Western songwriters of all time. As an actor and singer he appeared in scores of Western films. Nolan died on June 16, 1980, in Newport Beach, California, of a heart attack.
My Dad had heart bypass surgery years ago and its said when they wheeled him into the OR he was singing Tumbling Tumbleweeds... with him having grown up on the farm in Eastern NC, I understood his love for cowboy songs!
My sister and I would listen to this record, on our little record player it was a 45 Decca records recording I think,so long ago,I love to listen to these songs I grew up with when things and people were normal, now...
All i can say is thank God for the old music,it keeps me sane in this insane world.
Amen.
Oh how I love this music, and how I loved Ken Curtis and James arness and Millburn stone and Amanda Blake and Doug McClure and clu gulager and my very favorite James (Virginian) Drury. How we miss them. Still watch the westerns every day. D. Tyner Charles" mother
Bob Nolan, Ken Curtis, Roy and the others left us with songs that are unforgetable.
Ah, we got both kinds of music here. Country and WESTERN! Cowboy tunes. Love it.
LOL.
this takes me back to the days of Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, etc. movies when I was a kid!
I too time tripped back to a kid,
AMEN A time where we had Love of God Family & Country
This was one of my Dads favorites.
Another one from my dad’s 78 rpm shellac record collection, and a bonafide classic. I dare you to find any country music radio station playing this Sons of the Pioneers hit. Sad to say, it can’t be done.
Had this song stuck in my head on my road trip to Savannah yesterday, so had to come here and listen to the original.
Still Warms my 💖. Listened to this on a 78 that was played on a Sears Crank "Phone-O-Graph" in the Mammoth Lakes Family Cabin (California) before Dave McCoy decided to try skiing there.
I Wuz There. 🥴
No Electricity ... No Running Water ... 2 Hole Outhouse ... Wood Stove. Life was so simple and basic then. Of course .... I was a Child ... The Adults had to do the Hard work. hehehehehehe
Guess that makes me Older Than Dirt. 😁
Thanks for the original recording!
Love this song and Sons of the Pioneers
Great song of the American West along with 'Water.'
I grew up listening to Eddie Arnolds version on his awesome "Cattle Call" album. 🤠
You know what they say "they might be oldies but goodies! "
Such a lovely song and lovely recording.
You can spot "Len" ... (Leonard Slye aka Roy Rogers) in a couple of these photos.
Every time I hear this song now I think Jeff Bridges and Sam Elliot in the Big Labowski
The dude abides.
They didn't need to slow this down for future recordings - this is the quintessential version.
Very good song and I love it"
Absolutely Beautiful especially with Ken Curtis ❤❤🎉
Beautiful.
Awesome!
Bob Nolan, born Clarence Robert Nobles in Winnipeg Manitoba was a founding member of the Sons of the Pioneers. Nice to see him in an early picture with Len (Leonard Slye aka Roy Rogers)
I love it.
Written by Bob Nolan. Wonderful group.
they were great!
The photo, 1:13 is signed by Len. Leonard Sly is Roy Rogers birth name. Also on that photo is Pat Brady. Brady became Roy Rogers's "sidekick" on the tv series.
Still my heroes!
Amazing song
Covered by the Everly Brothers, so I put both versions in my EB playlist. Thanks for the upload!
Not by the Everly Brothers. It was Don Everly who did a cover of this.
@@ralfbirkholz8305 I stand corrected!
This is a favorite of mine and I sometimes sing it at the open mic group I go to. My dad used to listen to the old-timey songs so I learned to love them alongside him. AMERICAN WEST TRIVIA: The tumbleweed, symbol of the American West, isn’t even native to America. It was introduced from Asia and is commonly known as the “Russian Thistle”.

"The tumbleweed, symbol of the American West, isn’t even native to America." Much like the cowboys and their cattle. As a final note, these gussied-up guys would be utter failures if they had to live the cowboy life.
Way out West, there was this fella that I wanna tell You about..a fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski.
Great song.
💗

I like the 1946 version, but yeah this version’s better I think.
