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

[@MikeBlitzMag]

Considering that he passed away in 1933, the fact that video clips of Jimmie Rodgers in action have survived is nothing less than answered prayer. Love it!

[@stationmanager9325]

The clips of Jimmie were shot on film. Later dubbed to video tape in the late 1960,s.

[@zachill]

@@stationmanager9325 I assume they must’ve recorded the audio for this at the same time they filmed it then synced it up right? I mean that would at least explain the women around him talking and everything being in sync with one another

I get so many weird looks when I tell people this is the kind of stuff I enjoy listening to since I’m only 25, but You can’t ever go wrong with a little bit of vintage country and blues.

[@kevinkeener]

That's awesome. If you want to hear a modern version of this kind of music, listen to Colter Wall. He's about your age, incidentally. A lot of his songs have this feel. He even references Blue Yodel No. 9 in his excellent song, 13 Silver Dollars. Other good Colter Wall songs that have this feel are Saskatchewan 1881, High and Mighty, Caroline, Summer Wages, too many to list. Enjoy.

when i was a kid - 80s/90s - i used to come home from school and listen to my mom's old records. since she was from Alabama a lot of them were country western. we didn't have cable tv for a long time and didn't get the internet until 1997 so there wasn't a whole lot to do. but when we did get the internet i listened to a lot of old country. i was WAY out of step with the other kids my age. but as it turns out, they're all adults who are out of step with reality and a good old fashioned life. taking pictures of their food and duck faces, waiting for validation from strangers on their social media..... As for me, I'm still listening to old country western, taking care of my kids and my little farm. they listen to the oldies as well. though my oldest likes country, the youngest likes big band swing and jazz. someone has to keep it alive lol so don't let anyone judge you. this is the real deal. old fashioned calloused-fingers talent.

[@adamwho9678]

My dad was born in 1948 and Jimmie Rodgers was his favorite singer. He discovered that music later even, considering his own dad who grew up in that time period gave him crap for liking it lol. He had the entire collection on cassette at one point before they got lost. I found them online and burnt some cds for him just before he retired so he could enjoy them again. I like the music myself, but nothing like he did.

[@ratish1458]

I'm from India and my favorite Singer is Kishor Kumar and he is arguably the best singer of India. Kishore Kumar was born in 1929 and passed away in 1987. It's a treat to listen to his songs. He was an untrained singer. Kishore Kumar back then was a huge fan of Jimmy Rodgers and he used to sing his songs when he was in his teenage. And kishore Kumar introduced yodeling in India when he started to sing in films and we Indians are so grateful to Jimmy Rodgers who was an inspiration to kishore Kumar.

My dad was born in 1909 and this was his favorite singer. Jimmie Rodgers songs in the 1920's and 1930's, when he was a young man, were huge hits of that time just as some of the music of today. Jimmie sang about the hard times and touched the heart and soul of regular people in this country at one of the most difficult times in history.

That's the "other" Jimmie Rodgers, who was born in 1897 and was active for about ten years in the 20's & 30's. He was the "Father of Country Music". Before his time, there were cowboy ballads and delta blues, and he was the first to record songs that have all the basic elements of the classic style of country & western. Just the way Robert Johnson became the forerunner of rock.
