Red Foley - Chattanoogie Shoe Shine Boy

Review by varun gawarikar

Chattanoogie Shoe Shine Boy is a classic album by Red Foley that showcases his exceptional talent as a country singer. Released in 1950, this album features some of his most popular and enduring hits, including the titular track "Chattanoogie Shoe Shine Boy," "Old Shep," and "Tennessee Border."

Foley's warm and emotive vocals are perfectly complemented by the twangy guitar and fiddle arrangements, creating a sound that is both nostalgic and timeless. The lyrics are infused with a deep sense of Americana, celebrating the simple pleasures of life and the beauty of the countryside.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Old Shep," a heart-wrenching ballad about a loyal dog that has become a staple of country music. Foley's delivery is truly moving, conveying the deep love and affection that the narrator has for his beloved pet.

This was not a boy but a grown black man. That term was used in a demeaning and disrespectful way toward black men. I understand this fact escapes most while recounting childhood memories but it was terrible for the black men who had to endure it. Red Foley just played into the racism of the time. It's really quite sad.

In the early 60's I bought an LP record featuring Ernest Tubb on side one and Red Foley on side two. This song was the one I liked the most. I still have that LP in my collection today.

We covered this song today, June 21 2022. In our University of the third age, singing for fun group. Plus l have the track on a early 60's LP. One of those rare sets they used to release featuring two singers. So it's Ernest Tubb on side one and Red Foley on the other. The cover of the album features a stylised painting of a cowboy.. A nod to the old fashioned name of Country and Western music though l don't consider the Red Foley side to be true Country music

Fun fact. Farris Coursey beat the shit out of his thigh to get the popping sound in the background.

If 'Lollipop' and 'All Shook Up' had a kid.

boogie woogie is near to rock in my sense! Time is not exactly the same! but it sounds like rock!

Grandpa used to pay me a shiny new nickel to sing this when I was little, I used his handkerchief and popped it at the right time in the song. A cotton candy toe headed little girl with skinned knees, I know he loved me and this brought him such joy.

My dad left this earth 2 weeks ago. He sang this all the time when I was little girl. One of his all time favorites, it struck my mind out of nowhere. I am so happy to hear this. Wow.

Fun fact, this song was inspired by Leroy Daniels, who was one of the greatest blue comics to ever entertain a crowd. He also played himself on "Sanford and Son". Apparently he was also a master shoe shine.

I can die now, knowing I've heard it all. Jazz (Boogie Woogie) - Country. Have long enjoyed the song and Red Foley is a legend.

This song got me to love blues and rock n roll! Still good today.

I’m 13– I’m confused on how I know this song

clintonjford

This song brings back so many great memories for me. My grandpa used to sing this for me all the time. He just turned 82 and he’s still got it!

A real Toe Tapper. This is a great example of the cross over music which eventually morphed into the rock and roll era. Of course these days the rampant politically correct crowd would try to censor it. Time to stand up and push back. Great music is great music and don't let someone tell you otherwise. Just a question. How do you know what color or race the shoe shine boy was? You don't and it was never mentioned. So there you go.
