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.
