I'm rather embarrassed to adit that, as an avowed fan of Country music (REAL country music, now; none of that former pop-with-a-fiddle crap you hear on the radio these days), I never owned a Jimmie Rodgers album. I recently decided to rectify this horrible oversight and, so, picked up this jem of a CD.
Although the CD is in no way inclusive, you've only got three or four of the Blue Yodels on here, for instance, its still a great primer for those who aren't aware of what Jimmie Rodger's music was.
The sound production on here is great, and I've been enjoying playing it on my iPod over and over again lately (especially "Frankie and Johnnie" and "T.B. Blues"). Pick this CD up, you won't be dissapointed (and, if you ARE dissapointed, well...you ain't no music fan, my friend. No matter WHAT you say! :D )

Also check out: Hank Williams Sr, Lefty Fizzel, The Carter Family, Harry Smith's American Folk Music Collection, Joey Allcorn (Joey's a modern singer, but he's great, and several of his songs reference Mr. Rodgers). November 12, 2007

Just watched the Johnny Cash Show video, made me come back & listen to this. Jimmie should be taught in every high school history class (well, maybe not T for Texas) For me this is some of the best American music ever written, never sung better than he did, it doesn't need anything more than this.

- in an older recording. It's clear, so the lyrics are understandable, and what a yodeler he was! It allows you to grasp the monumental influence he had on 'Country' music, while allowing you to see how far away from the roots of it that today's 'country' music, drunk on fame, fortune and greed has blundered. Five stars all the way. March 12, 2007

Wonderful stuff. Jimmie Rodgers singing comes through crystal clear. The sound is excellent considering these songs were recorded in the 20's. August 20, 2006
