The Hard Times and Blues of Mr. Country, Jimmie Rodgers
Joe Sasfy, Unicorn Times, December 1976
IT'S REAL tough getting an angle on Jimmie Rodgers. Although he's been written about extensively — his short life plotted, his influences and influence crisscrossed, and his good humor immortalized — he is probably unknown to most, Americans, to the point of being frequently confused with a relative nonentity like the Jimmie Rodgers of 'Honeycomb' fame.
