All Time Hits is an album by American country singer Ernest Tubb and His Texas Troubadours, recorded and released in 1960 (see 1960 in music). Despite the album title, it is not a compilation of Tubb's previous hits. The entire album consists of Tubb's covers of songs that had been hits for other country and honky-tonk singers.

Reception

In his Allmusic review, Bruce Eder wrote of the album "The mere existence of these songs makes them priceless, as documents of Tubb's style, even if they lack the urgency of his 'own' songs."
