AVID Country continues with its Four Classic Albums series with a re-mastered 2CD set release featuring Jimmie Rodgers, complete with original artwork, sleeve notes, recording data and personnel details.
“Travellin’ Blues”; “Never No Mo’ Blues”; “Train Whistle Blues” “My Rough And Rowdy Ways”, plus 3 bonus tracks
Rodgers was the first “country superstar”, selling millions of 78 rpm records long before the LP or even the 7" 45 were even thought of. The four LPs featured in this release were all originally released between 1955 and 1960, long after Rodgers had died. His recording career lasted barely six years (1927 to 1933) and was cut short by his death from TB at the age of just thirty-five. In addition to the forty-eight tracks from the LPs, the two songs that made up his first 78 release and the overdubbed version of “In The Jailhouse Now No. 2” which Chet Atkins and members of Hank Snow’s band, the Rainbow Ranch Boys, recorded and made the American country charts with in 1955 are included as bonus tracks. Over eighty years after his death, Jimmie Rodgers remains a much-loved member of the country music family and an acknowledged influence on many artists that followed him.
Check out:- Chet Atkins (AMSC1335), Johnny Cash (AMSC1252), Patsy Cline (AMSC1313), Jim Reeves (AMSC1294), Marty Robbins (AMSC1281), Jean Shepard (AMSC1335), Kitty Wells (AMSC1328), Slim Whitman (AMSC1346), Hank Williams (AMSC1267).
