Although he died at the young age of 35, Rodgers is widely cited as the “Father of Country Music” and is increasingly regarded as “the most important and influential popular singer of the ’20’s and ’30’s.” This digitally re-mastered 20-track set showcases Jimmy’s now-classic “Blue Yodels” style with such signature recordings as his breakthrough song “Blue Yodel No. 1,” “Pistol Packin’ Papa” and “Blue Yodel #8,” commonly known as “Mule Skinner Blues.”
