One of my alltime favorites. If there are freight trains in heaven, Mr. Jimmie Rodgers is sure to be the Brakeman with a guitar instead of a billy club. Ben Dewberry's the engineer with the fireman from "Ol' Number 5" keeping up steam. We will allways be told we can ride & have money to spare.

@2bakidagain He died in 1933 when he was 35, just two days after he recorded his last song.

I was 6 years old when Jimmie passed away, My mother loved his music she played his records a lot. I miss Jimmie and a few others that were around the sametime he was.

He is the father of country music and rightly so! I think he died of TB very young...only 29, i believe!
-
I love it. My grandfather was a railroad man so my father as a very young boy got to see and hear Jimmie at the roundhouse in Asheville, NC before he was discovered.

AMERICA´S BLUE YODLER !



Thank goodness these recordings still exist. Still feels like ol' Jimmie's still with us. He's the original, and he wrote so many great songs that are still with us. Check out In The Jailhouse Now in the Coen Brothers' movie "O Brother Where Art Thou."
