Papa Rodgers ,what can you say about the Father of Country Music,The guitar Jimmie is playing in this video is beleived to be the most valuable guitar on the planet,jimmie loaned it to Ernest Tubbs and Ernest Played it for 30 yrs,upon Ernest Tubbs death it was returned to the Rodgers Family and Its now on display permanantly at the Jimmie Rodgers Memorial Museum in Merridia.I played that guitar and it was one of my most memorable expirences in life.
@pleasureman666 just about. Sound came to films in the latter part of 1928 and when that happened, music was the big craze in films until it wore out its course in 1930, only to come back later on.
Good Lord, this takes me back to my boyhood days, I was 6 years old when Jimmie died. I haven't seen this picture show in many years. Excellent memories.
I just love jimmy rogers........wonderful.........alot better then the music nowadays....great ! I bought the double album in 1977 merle haggard later recorded him. I bought that one too........He is so great !
On the railroad call board behind JImmie are the names Strobel and Martin--R.J. Strobel and J.M. Martin--two of Jimmie's oldest pals who would later serve as Pallbearers at Jimmie's funeral on May 29, 1933.
Yep, George Harrison called it "the first music he ever heard that was guitar oriented, Jimmie Rodgers--the singing brakeman". George and Jimmie are probably sharing guitar licks in heaven right now.

@ICRA95 It's a great question because noone sounded like him. Consider in his day (1920s), the music of that era was jazz, ragtime, and broadway tunes. Given the tragedy of many of his songs, he's heavily influenced by blues - yet, it doesn't sound like blues.
@ICRA95 Country music - or Country and Western - at first derisively called hillbilly - more or less started in a big way commercially with The Carter Family and Jimmie Rodgers. Rodgers' music is definitely Country and Western in a form that was clearly influenced by the blues. And it began a tradition in Country that led to Bob Wills and to the Texas Honky Tonk Country Sound of Ernest Tubb. Rodgers's music sounds like it belongs in a barroom. The Carters often sound like they belong in church.
This is the best!! Im 28, but grew up around my grandma, she loved him. We used to dance in the living room to Elton Britt when I was a kid. Check out She taught me to yodel by Elton Britt!
I wonder how many men have actually lived this song. I think I've had some gals worse than ol' Thelma. Atleast I haven't had to resort to that long tall pistol yet!
This is the only type of country I like. The Original. jimmy rodgers a HUGE influence on rock and roll. He even influenced Muddy Waters and Howlin Wolf and Howlin really was tryin to be Jimmy but Howlin's yodels were growls or howls. Thats how he became Howlin Wolf. But respect to all the greats.
@wingwing2 Yes . . . just keeping hitting the "thumbs up" until the counter reads ten trillion. You'll probably need to replace your keyboard at least once along the way.
I had this stuff surrounding me from birth (65) a cousin who was a blues player then I gave ten years singing in a rock and roll and blues band, I consider myself fortunate for the influences I have had, however, my 6 yr old daughter is into blues, rock and roll swing and local folk, so I reckon when she comes of age she's gonna be a fountain of knowledge of all things good in music long before she was born. As for the 27 dislikers, they dont know shit from toilet paper. Amen
WOW! No one quite like the late great Mr Rodgers. Truly the father of country music. THANKS for posting this cool clip. I fell in love with his music as a kid in the 60's, thanks to my mom constantly playing an RCA album of his. CHEERS, mate!
@JubalCalif My dad used to have an old Jimmie Rodgers RCA album also and played it a lot when I was a kid (I was born in 66)...along with Ernest Tubb and Hank Williams. I didn't realize how great it was at the time, but when I hear these old songs today, I appreciate so damn much that my dad exposed me this great music. We're lucky our parents had good taste in music, eh? CHEERS!
Well said & well put, Retro Edward! I certainly second that emotion! I too didn't appreciate at the time the great classic tunes I was exposed to in the 60's as a youngster. As you wrote, I feel so blessed we had parents with wonderful taste in music!!! CHEERS to you too, amigo !!! :-)
Ralph Peer shows up in this context a lot. He had conducted the famous Bristol Sessions of 1927 that "discovered" both Rodgers and The Carter Family. And he produced Rodgers and the Carters for RCA Victor. There was then some controversy over the Carter songs that were jointly copyrighted by A.P. Carter and Peer. A.P. Carter would locate very old songs which had long been in the public domain, rework them, and then copyright them under his and Peer's names, as if totally original.
@MrArtfreako Some of the older country artists tended to have their guitar tuned to a sharper key or a flatter key. It looks like a G key he's using, but it's very likely either F# or G#.
@Joeykm1972 if I tune my guitar to G and then tune all the strings a half tone higher could I then get a G# turning?or can you tell what the notes are on each string for a G#tuning?
@MrArtfreako You do not need to tune your strings higher. That is what a capo is for. Just put the capo on the 1st fret and you get an instant G# key, when you do a normal G fingering. G# chord is G#, D# and C.
I'd really like to know - WHO WROTE THIS SONG?? In the first few seconds of this clip, Jimmie seems to credit it to someone else - Willie Ohms, Bluey Ohms? Is there anyone out there who knows? It seems likely that someone else wrote it - authorship was something people kept track of a lot less back in 1927.

@LucyLehmann Yes, he says "that old Blue Yodel song." "T For Texas" was originally issued on the Victor label as "Blue Yodel No. 1." He is credited with writing all thirteen of the "Blue Yodels." ("Mule Skinner Blues" was famously "Blue Yodel No. 8.") When "T For Texas" passed into Public Domain in 1989, the only child of Rodgers was listed, along with "Peer International Corp.," as parties. This suggests that the original copyright was shared with his record producer at RCA, Ralph Peer.
Amazing at all the young people who enjoy Jimmie's music. I thought that the youngest might be the 6 month old baby, until I read the post from the fetus.
But not sure about the one who doesn't exist at all. Perhaps pre-conception? Just a gleam in his daddy's eye?
I'm 8.5 months in my Mom's womb, not yet born to the world, floating blissfully in the warm amniotic ocean inside my Mom. She's playing this Jimmie Rodgers music loud so I can hear it, & hey I love it! Can't wait to join the world & maybe pick up & play one them geetars one day! (Thanks Mom for letting me dictate this message so you could type it for me). -a precocious Jimmie Rodgers fan.
Yeah, was singing along with this in my hippie days at UT Austin. Ahh, Austin in the 70's, the "Better" San Francisco of the South(west)... cowgirls and pot... and anybody that was anybody.... (from reading some other comments..) did a version of this song. At least that's what us homegrrown Texas cowboy hippie types believed. Not there now physically, but always there in soul...
I'm 14 and i heard this song for the first time today. and i absolutely love it! it is amazing!!! <3 My favorite part if the song is from 00:00 to 02:58!!!!
@Chelsie12191 Check out the complete 1930 Columbia Pictures fiim short, posted in its entirety on YouTube, and titled "The Singing Brakeman". This version of "T for Texas" is one of three songs that Rodgers performs in the film, the others being "Daddy and Home" and "Waiting for a Train." Bad acting......but GREAT early country music...LOL. The complete film is 9:16 long and is about fourth in the list when searching "Jimmie Rodgers."
I like this video thanks for making this video available. when I was a kid I woke to Jimmie Rodger playing on a 33 every morning. My father really liked Jimmie Rodgers. He sang Jimmie's songs with his guitar.
@richardcwood1 I remember when Jimmie come on the Radio, my Parents loved him. I do remember when Tubb traveled with Jimmie, I also know Earnest has Jimmie's Guitar.
I have this song on pause right now..because if I play it it will cut up at diff. parts throughout the vid. I just listened to the first 10 seconds or so but right now I'm debating as I write this whether or not I should actually listen because I can already tell that when I do there may be no going back as far as listening to country music goes.
@lilmisscarriage First you have to digitize them into audio files like .wav or .mp3. This is known as "ripping" when audio is grabbed right off a CD. Lots of programs can do it, including itunes and Windows Media Player. Next you use a video editing program to put in either video or still pictures and add a digitized song to it. Windows movie maker can probably do that for you. Then save that as a movie file like .mpg, .avi, .flv or .wmv and upload to YouTube.

If I remember correctly Earnest never did get to meet Jimmie,
but don´t take my word for it, look it up.
The first song Earnest heard by Jimmie was "In the jailhouse now".
His sister came home singing this song, but she couldn´t yodel,
so she said to Earnest, "Well he does a little howlering in here".
That was when Earnest Tubb first fell under the spell of
the legendary Jimmie Rodgers.

I like this video thanks for making this video available. when I was a kid I woke to Jimmie Rodger playing on a 33 every morning. My father really liked Jimmie Rodgers. He sang Jimmie's songs with his guitar.

I have this song on pause right now..because if I play it it will cut up at diff. parts throughout the vid. I just listened to the first 10 seconds or so but right now I'm debating as I write this whether or not I should actually listen because I can already tell that when I do there may be no going back as far as listening to country music goes.
damn I fucked myself this is incredible

I`ve owned a Bos set of Jimmies` CDs for some time and want to know how to share them with You tube ?
lilmisscarriage 1 year ago
@lilmisscarriage First you have to digitize them into audio files like .wav or .mp3. This is known as "ripping" when audio is grabbed right off a CD. Lots of programs can do it, including itunes and Windows Media Player. Next you use a video editing program to put in either video or still pictures and add a digitized song to it. Windows movie maker can probably do that for you. Then save that as a movie file like .mpg, .avi, .flv or .wmv and upload to YouTube.
