  • Ya know, all this debate about how JR played the guitar makes for an interesting discussion, but the bottom line is, the guy was a BRILLIant singer... good lookin'

    cat ,too, pretty much everything you might need to become a big star. I would

    wager he came up w/ an open tuning of his own devising( here, a Minor tuning)

    and was probably self-taught, hence the thumb over the top technique.

    Remember Richie Havens had a similar technique.

  • Weird Guitar technique. Great song : )

see all

  • @MsThebeMoon There was a famous country singer with the same name, but much older than this Jimmie. So there's the mix-up.

  • É uma pena o mundo não ter conhecido o trabalho deste cantor fabuloso!!!! Nasci em 1960, mas por acaso ganhei um LP do Jimmie Rodgers e nunca parei de ouví-lo!!! CONGRATULATIONS JIMMIE, AS FOR ME YOU ARE BETWEEN THE BEST!!!!!

  • Oops..I meant honeycomb!

  • We lived a few blocks from where Jimmie grew up in camas, wa. My mother actually babysat for his kids. I was in first grade in the front row of my class when jimmie sang this and kisses sweeter than wine. I was totally smitten! It is so sad what happened to him :-(

  • As for the tuning, why dont you just ask him?

  • Simple straight forward good music. Brilliant.

  • @MsThebeMoon There is and he was awesome only person ive ever heard that can yodel and make it sound epic instead of gay i like this guys song as well though punk ftw

  • Sorry, I just mispelled Jimmy's name. Still can't believe two people didn't like this. Jimmy has a Christmas Album on Itunes. Some really nice stuff; including O Holy Night. I just love the clarity and tonality of his voice. Thanks for posting.

  • I cannot believe there are two people on the planet who do not like Juiiy singing this.

    One of my favourite "voices" of all times.
