The Hee Haw Collection - Episode 3

The whole Hee Haw gang is back again, pickin' and grinnin', singin' and spinnin' tall tales, this time with a special musical lineup of stars, beginning with the first lady of Country music, Tammy Wynette. She makes her Hee Haw debut with her signature song, Stand By Your Man. Plus, bonus material of Hee Haw's own Roy Clark warmly reminiscing on his years as co-host and star of Hee Haw! In this recently shot exclusive interview, Roy gives fans an incredible behind-the-scenes look at what made Hee Haw a comedy classic.

Some Darn Good Pickin'

It's nice to see that this show - the third episode of the debut 1969 season - is presented in its entirety from what I can tell. I'm a little disappointed that most of the performances appear to be lip synched, which I guess I never thought about much as a kid. A few I couldn't tell if the performer was miming or not. The transfer looks great, and the jokes are as corny as ever.

Here are the songs:

1. Buck Owens - Love's Gonna Live Here Again

2. Tammy Wynette - Stand by Your Man (unfortunately was presented on the show in a truncated version, with Tammy appearing in a bright red sequin dress on the front porch step, sans live band. Still a good clip)

3. George Jones - White Lightnin'

4. Roy Clark - Caravan (this is my favorite clip. Somewhat psychedelic effects are sprinkled throughout this great live instrumental which shows just how good a guitar picker Roy is!)

5. Buck Owens - It Takes People Like You

6. George Jones - Walk Through This World With Me

7. Faron Young - Wine Me Up

8. Faron Young - She Went a Little Bit Farther

9. Tammy Wynette - Take Me to Your World November 4, 2006
