Happy birthday to Jimmie Rodgers, born on this day in 1897 — the “Father of Country Music.” Blending folk, blues, and yodeling into something uniquely his own, Rodgers became one of America’s first recording stars, with classics like Blue Yodel (T for Texas) and In the Jailhouse Now. His songs laid the foundation for country music while also influencing blues, folk, and early rock & roll — shaping artists from Hank Williams to Bob Dylan.
@SVG__Collection Doc Watson also did a number of Jimmie Rodgers' songs.

@SVG__Collection Wow, I can hear the good action on his fret board...this is really nice.
@SVG__Collection Listen to the great “Gambling Bar Room Blues” and wonder why it’s not regularly covered.
@SVG__Collection Timeless musical legacy
