Known as The Singing Brakeman, or The Blue Yodeler, Jimmie Rodgers has also been referred to as The Father Of Country Music.

Rodgers' first recorded in August, 1927. The session did not land him a recording contract but it yielded his first record. The following year, in 1928, Jimmie Rodgers earned his first major hit with Blue Yodel. The song would sell more than a million copies during Rodgers' lifetime. It became the title used for a series of Blue Yodel songs, each being numbered and of individual character. The recordings of Jimmie Rodgers had a fresh sound, lyrics and style like no others of the era. He drew from many influences of the music that was popular at the time, including his exposure to vaudeville when he was younger, but his interspersed yodels and genuine delivery were his own and created a departure to set him apart from all other recording artists and familiar genres. Rodgers continued to record for RCA Victor. Even through the hardship of depression years, as record sales declined, Jimmie's records continued to sell, propping revenue for RCA Victor. A complete discography of Jimmie Rodgers lists a total of 111 songs. His last two recording sessions were in New York in May, 1933. He was visibly unwell, and the ravage of his tuberculosis had compromised his strength and endurance. During the two sessions, Rodgers recorded ten new songs, needing to rest in-between takes and recording from an easy chair while propped with pillows. His respiratory disease had become so advanced, he was prone to hemorrhage from intense cough. After the two recording sessions and before leaving New York City, Jimmie Rogers died as a result of hemorrhage. Before he could get medical attention, Rodgers fell into a coma. He died on May 26, just two days after his last recording session. He was 35 years old. Among the many posthumous awards, tributes and honors are; The Country Music Hall Of Fame (inducted in 1961) and the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame (inducted in 1986). In 1978, The United States Postal Service issued a commemorative postage stamp honoring Rodgers. Rolling Stone Magazine placed Jimmie Rodgers at #11 on their Top 100 Greatest Country Artists of All Time and #88 on their 200 Greatest Singers of All Time list. Of notable tributes is was a collection of his songs covered by respecting artists. Titled, The Songs of Jimmie Rodgers: A Tribute, the collection was released in 1997 through Columbia Records on Bob Dylan’s own Egyptian label. The list of diverse artists covering the Jimmie Rodgers songs were Bob Dylan, Aaron Neville, Bono, Dwight Yoakam, Alison Krauss, John Mellencamp, Willie Nelson, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Iris DeMent, Van Morrison, Steve Earl, David Ball, Dickey Betts, and Jerry Garcia, David Grisman & John Kahn. The track listing and playing order of the 78 records that are featured in this video mirrors that of The Songs of Jimmie Rodgers: A Tribute compilation CD. I recorded this video of my original Jimmie Rodgers 78 RPM records being played on my turntable to share the experience of playing 78s with those who also enjoy the hobby and history of shellac records, especially that of early influential music artists. I do not claim or own, nor imply ownership, of the song or music recording in any way.
