Jimmie Rodgers - Blue Yodel No 1 (T For Texas)

Great tune..love the Yodelling...
My mum and i always did a bit of yodelling when we did the dishes...Fun!

yeha Ive got all of his music..T for Texas

Jimmie Rogers absorbed style from Robert Johnson??!!
Come on now, Rogers first recorded in 1927 and died before Johnson recorded anything. Johnson was a minor musician in the 1930's and wasn't well known back then, certainly not by white musicians. No one hardly remembered him until someone dug up those old recordings and put them on an album back in the 1960's. Rogers certainly was influenced by the blues and black guitarists but not by Johnson. !

Charley Patton was the Father of the Delta Blues, like Jimmie Rodgers was the father of Country Music...both died tragically young, as did their heirs (muscially) Robert Johnson & Hank Williams...


But all 4 of those above mentioned men maybe the most important musicians in American history...


not to slight Frank Sinatra and W.C. Handy, etc, and that style of music...


But for pure music, Charley, Jimmie, Robert & Hank are the ones I pick!

We're all kin from Eden in Africa so every music is rooted in that Continent. We accept that version of human origins and I'm very proud of my indiscernible Black ancestry whiile no less proud of my Irish and Kitksan lineages but my role and goal is to be a heavenly human, not a shade of colour. Mr. Rodgers obviously absorbed style from Robert Johnson, while we know Hank Williams learned stagecraft on the street under his negro pal.

Soul sees only light, hears only beauty, knows only truth.

Jimmie was a star before Robert Johnson ever recorded. Now, Hank did get influenced from the Blues musicians he grew up adoring in Alabama, Rufe Payne "Tee-Tot", and truly made his own kind of music, as Jimmie Rodgers growing up in the Delta did, but Jimmie was one of the fathers of the Blues & Country, people learned his style, not the other way around...Hank was influenced by Country & Blues, but he was his own man also...Jimmie, Hank & Robert are my 3 favorite musicians.

You are closer to this than I who forgets the issue;

My concern is to know the truth and avoid disrespect for the memory of these artists. We are wrong to glorify their hard lives.
Hank Snow prevailed quietly, and Johnny Cash was crazy for a while; Elvis replicated the rise and fall of the American dream, and right now, today, the climate is perfect for Jesus to show up strumming, singing, dancing and telling us things the way they really are and how they are going to be from now on...

are you a rastafarian?

now thats real yodling

God! Black! Me first?

Grow Children. Jimmie is watching.

Eb: I defend my point that popular country and western and Rock and Roll MUSIC is all rooted in Africa, as is all humankind. Excess ego, racism, nationalism, and my-godism, breeds contempt.

Americanism has become a religion fraught with idols, demons and pariah. No idea emerges that a Yank will not interpret as an attack on the US of A.

I descend from Africa, Europe and Asia and claim more for it.
