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.

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.

✔️🤔Yes, and its primarily because toilet seats weren't invented til 1978. Before that, you just found a bush whenever nature called, and you hoped the last bush-user left some pages from the New York Times or Washington Post for you to use, because toilet paper wasn't invented til 1984..... It's 2021 now, and we've got Cottonelle and Charmin, but I still prefer the New York Times or Washington Post. Not because they are more absorbent, but because they are more deserving! 😁

Great memories of being quite young, being babysat by my dad, and listening to this song. He only played yodeling music when my mom wasn't home. 😀

Arrived here after hearing that Johnny Cash said Mr Jimmie Rodgers was his favourite in the radio since childhood. Really JR sings like an angel and has so poignant lyrics and catching tunes. Love his yodelling and I regret he was so ill and died at such an early age. Thanks for sharing!

i love the juxtaposition of the woman in the rocking chair, the other woman in the winda and Jimmie singing about shooting Thelma and a rounder and and they're just sitting there smiling "oh isn't he wonderful" lol, can you imagine people flipping out today if that was on the tele?

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