AMG Review of RCA Country Legends

Tim Sendra
All Music Guide

Jimmie Rodgers is an icon of American music, and this volume in the RCA Country Legends series does a fine job of presenting his music for both newcomers to Rodgers and longtime fans alike. The 17 tracks contain some of his most well-known numbers, like "Blue Yodel (T for Texas)," "Train Whistle Blues," "Blue Yodel #9," and "Blue Yodel #8 (Mule Skinner Blues)," as well as a few rare songs and a previously unissued take of "My Good Gal's Gone Blues." Highly recommended.
