TEX MORTON - the country touch(1967) video free download

Henry Samples

Great music, I'm from Texas and I've heard of Tex Morton.. Tex and Slim are legends here

Peter Caulton

What wonderful sound recording on this show even after all these years. I made an appearance on this show but can't remember now what I sang. Years later I worked with Tex again at the Wandong country music festival just out of Melbourne which was the first and biggest country music festival in Australia. This man was a true showman and always looking for a poker game. He must have lived the most colourful life of any New Zealander ever.

I play with Bob Morton sometimes at the odd jam session Bob plays blues harmonica these days and he is Tex's son.

Jason Carruthers

Eric Towser

Did this guy sing '' High Noon ''?

sorry, I wish I did have proper access to this sort of stuff. I got this piece when I found it had been accidentally left on a tape of some material I was given from the broadcaster. lets give thanks for sloppy tape copying operators who work for national broadcasters who hoard this material and won't let the public see it. There may well be more material of this show but until TVNZ decide to release it or another sloppy tape op accidentally hands it over it's stuck in a vault somewhere.

What a lovely clip - it's such a shame that there isn't more of these old clips available.At least utube makes it possible to share what is around.Thanks for sharing.

Tex was a great friend of my father's, Slim Dusty & RM Williams - he's so sadly missed - I hope Australia never forgets his wonderful talent. I used to listen to his old songs on my cassette player as a kid - this clip is such a treasure...he really was an amazing talent...may he Rest In Peace...

The Hamilton County Bluegrass Band travelled around Australia with Slim Dusty during the 1970's - Colleen is a great fiddler....This clip is fabulous piece of Country music history... Tex is a Legend - RIP Tex - Thanks for posting

Nice to know Bob, one of Tex's sons is active in music. Great. Tex was a real neat fellow, and great friend to me.

@hankfrank09 my pleasure Hankfrank. I came across it purely by chance and I'm happy I could put it up here for us all to see instead of it languishing in some tv vault.

Just wonderful to see this, especially as I was part of the series.. Thank you.

Good on you for posting this! Tex's son Bob Morton plays in a NSW Central Coast band called the Summerland Kings. They have a lot of fun and they do a few of his dad Tex's numbers.
