About Jimmie Rodgers
There is no way to overestimate the influence of Jimmie Rodgers on country music history. Practically every major figure of the 1930s, '40s, and '50s was inspired by Rodgers, as were many later artists, such as Bob Dylan. With his keening voice, rich songwriting, and mix of blues, folk, and country guitar styles, Rodgers was one of country music's first true superstars. His bluesy songs detail the life of the rounder, while his supple yodel communicates joy, agony, and every emotion between.
