Blue Yodel No. 9 by Jimmie Rodgers (1930)
Told you, Jimmie was bad like Jesse James.
Interesting tidbit about Jimmie Rodgers. He died in 1933, at the height of the Depression. At the time of his death, he accounted for fully 10% of RCA Victor's sales. Remember, this was when record companies & consumer cash was thin on the ground. That ain't bad a'tall.
"In the Jailhouse Now #2" by Jimmie Rodgers
This was my grandfather's favorite song, I'm told. It fits because he was a bit of a rascal.
"California Blues" by Jimmie Rodgers (1928)
Today is Jimmie Rodgers' birthday. He was born in Meridian in 1897. A professor of my brother's tried to prove he was born in Alabama, but fuck that guy.
