He even references Blue Yodel No. 9 in his excellent song, 13 Silver Dollars. Other good Colter Wall songs that have this feel are Saskatchewan 1881, High and Mighty, Caroline, Summer Wages, too many to list. Enjoy.

when i was a kid - 80s/90s - i used to come home from school and listen to my mom's old records. since she was from Alabama a lot of them were country western. we didn't have cable tv for a long time and didn't get the internet until 1997 so there wasn't a whole lot to do. but when we did get the internet i listened to a lot of old country. i was WAY out of step with the other kids my age. but as it turns out, they're all adults who are out of step with reality and a good old fashioned life. taking pictures of their food and duck faces, waiting for validation from strangers on their social media..... As for me, I'm still listening to old country western, taking care of my kids and my little farm. they listen to the oldies as well. though my oldest likes country, the youngest likes big band swing and jazz. someone has to keep it alive lol so don't let anyone judge you. this is the real deal. old fashioned calloused-fingers talent.

My dad was born in 1948 and Jimmie Rodgers was his favorite singer. He discovered that music later even, considering his own dad who grew up in that time period gave him crap for liking it lol. He had the entire collection on cassette at one point before they got lost. I found them online and burnt some cds for him just before he retired so he could enjoy them again. I like the music myself, but nothing like he did.

Jimmie sang about the hard times and touched the heart and soul of regular people in this country at one of the most difficult times in history. In 80 plus years how many singers will still be honored as Jimmie Rodgers is...

I'm from India and my favorite Singer is Kishor Kumar and he is arguably the best singer of India. Kishore Kumar was born in 1929 and passed away in 1987. It's a treat to listen to his songs. He was an untrained singer. Kishore Kumar back then was a huge fan of Jimmy Rodgers and he used to sing his songs when he was in his teenage. And kishore Kumar introduced yodeling in India when he started to sing in films and we Indians are so grateful to Jimmy Rodgers who was an inspiration to kishore Kumar.

Before his time, there were cowboy ballads and delta blues, and he was the first to record songs that have all the basic elements of the classic style of country & western. Just the way Robert Johnson became the forerunner of rock.

I like this video thanks for making this video available. when I was a kid I woke to Jimmie Rodger playing on a 33 every morning. My father really liked Jimmie Rodgers. He sang Jimmie's songs with his guitar.

I'm learning about this guy in my "History of Rock and Roll" class in college right now. This was basically the beginning of rock and roll.

How can folks say they love country music or claim that they're country AND NOT EVEN KNOW THE FATHER OF COUNTRY MUSIC

@JubalCalif My dad used to have an old Jimmie Rodgers RCA album also and played it a lot when I was a kid (I was born in 66)...along with Ernest Tubb and Hank Williams. I didn't realize how great it was at the time, but when I hear these old songs today, I appreciate so damn much that my dad exposed me this great music. We're lucky our parents had good taste in music, eh? CHEERS!

Just remember this song on a Victrola up high during a dry spell, a mother dancing with a baby on her shoulder. And this baby was later in the heart of every schoolgirl.
