Hell! I just missed this premiere on MTV ...

According to biographer Mark Lewisohn, this was the first guitar song heard by George Harrison, together w Blue Yodel #4.

Utterly brilliant. In a dark dark world, this should be broadcast instead of the mainstream media news.😍🤩🥰

"how about some coffee..." Some things do not change.

All around the water tanks, waiting for a train A thousand miles away from home, sleeping in the rain I walked up to a brakeman, to give him a line of talk He says "If you've got money, I'll see that you don't walk" I haven't got a nickel, not a penny can I show "Get off, get off, you railroad bum"; he slammed the boxcar door He put me off in Texas, a state I dearly love The wide open spaces all around me, the moon and the stars up above Nobody seems to want me, or lend me a helping hand I'm on my way from Frisco, I'm going back to Dixieland Though my pocketbook is empty and my heart is full of pain I'm a thousand miles away from home, just waiting for a train

Me of course know Jimmy Rodgers, Ernest Tubb also. I nevertheless never realized how much much Ernest Tubb ows to Jimmy..

Those days are over. Passenger trains have died out. Seems strange now.

I’m 18 and this is my kinda music! This nowadays crap can’t be called “music”, just a bunch of junk and trash! R.I.P Jimmie Rodgers

Jimmie Rodgers knows how many women fit in a passenger train, the guy was a brake man. This man is a legend. He is not spoken about enough.

ESPETACULAR!!!!!!!!,

Jimmy was the iconic trend setter. Who was content to pick to home and family. A number of his well known yodels or whistle. Are. Articulated the appropriate inflection. Of. True blues men But yeah jimmy laid the groundwork for country Everlasting

One of, if not the father of Country Music. Stripped down as it should be. Yes Jimmie Rodgers. The carter Family loved you. Died at 35. Not dead to me!

Repent and trust in Jesus. He's the only way to Heaven. We've all sinned and deserve Hell. Sins like lying, lusting, etc. Repent and trust only in Jesus, and you will be saved! You can be saved because he took the punishment for our sins on himself when he died on the cross, just like someone can pay your speeding fine in court, and you get off free. Romans 3:23 John 3:16❤😊

Laxm chaya role. and songs in Mera gaon Mera Desh are awesomes

This guy is such an icon. This is art, history, culture.. so classic.. a true legend

I perform Jimmies music live for audiences now. I played his songs to my grandmother on her last day. His music is very special and we are lucky to have this video still. Thanks Jimmie And Ill continue to play your music every day until I too pass.

why no one watching in 2024 :(

I sing this song every time I have to stop and wait on a train

This song is almost 100 years old and it’s better than anything out today

From Tyrol to Texas, Jimmie Rogers is best cowboy yodeler.

This has got to be one of the history's first music videos

Man that guy was good!! He inspired so many country singers like Hank Williams and others. Definitely inspired by past blues singers though.

In 2024 just discovered him😮

😊

Jimmy was my dads favorite. I grew up listening to this music. Hes gone now but i can stilllisten to jimmy and think of all the memories we had. I love you daddy.

Most songs about loving your parents are usually targeted towards both parents or just moms. It's nice to see a song about appreciating dad's :)

This guy is the definition of cool

cool

When hobos road the boxcars

Thumbs up if George Harrison in episode 1 of _The Beatles Anthology_ brought you here. 😊

That's one of the first songs I ever learned, thanks to my grandpa.

America's "Blue Yodler". Love his stuff!!

what a glorious yodel.

How does he do that train sound

Fascinating to hear him talk about it already being an old song.Then, you put it alongside the Jerry Lee Lewis version. Could the one have happened without the other? As they say, discuss.

There is such purity in a simple song.

I thought the woman doing the dishes in the doorway was being displayed on a jumbotron screen...Lol

Jimmie Rogers often stayed in my grandparents home when riding the rails and overnighted in Memphis as did other railroad men since my grandfather and uncles all worked on the railroad. I heard a lot about his playing for them - and the neighbors .

I too wish my father was still around to see this. For people who grew up during the Great Depression Jimmie was the voice of the people.

This man changed everything for country music like ol Woodie changed it all for folk. Hard cut men from this time simply are no longer. Any Footage of them is incredibly important to the history of the genres.

Excellent singer. Really enjoyed his part in the polar express too

"The Singing Brakeman"!

Listen to Piedmont Blues great, the late John Jackson, do this song. He learned if off a Rodgers record back inthe 1930s. Jimmie may be the Father of Country Music but he was also afine bluesman.In fact, he recorded with jazz great Loius Armstrong back then. Armstrong and Johnny Cash replicated that song on the Johnny Cash Show.

I am a big outlaw country fan/dead head. People dont always see the parellels in the music. But i believe they are cut from the same cloth all originating back to this man. Cool hearing original jimmie rodgers lines spunoff in the music of the grateful dead or hank williams. Im just a music/history guy i suppose indiscriminately (except rap lol believe jerry when he said it is not music.) Cool video!

I love this 😭😭

My dad loved Jimmie Rodgers.

Sounds like blue music…

valentine's 2024

This film is priceless

A couple years ago, I was taking a train to visit family for the holidays because I couldn't afford a plane ticket at the time. I was sitting on a bench in the station and across from me was an old man. I couldn't help but think of this song, so I started to sing it and suddenly to my surprise the old man across to me started singing along with me. Right as we finished the song, the train rolled in. The timing was perfect
