[Django]

Here's somethin' ya' may not know......

While Robert Johnson was playin' the blues, white folks were actually playing their own brand of blues..... Folks like the legendary Jimmy Rodgers (the singing brakeman) with songs like "Blue Yodel" and others.....

This song is exactly consistent with that musical legacy..... a really great song.... Take it away, Mr. Szymansky.......(oops) I mean The Soggy Bottom Boys...

God bless y'all........

Didn't Jimmy Rodgers sing the song "Mule Skinner"? My dad played and sang that along with a lot of Hank Sr.

Didn't Jimmy Rodgers sing the song "Mule Skinner"? My dad played and sang that along with a lot of Hank Sr.

I believe the only really well known version of "Mule Skinner Blues" was recorded by The Fendermen (Phil Humphrey and John Sundquist) in June of 1960... It's interesting to note that both those guys were born on exactly the same day and year....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeKNecSKKoE

But Jimmie Rodgers song "Blue Yodel" follows the same subject and lyrical form..... Its so close that you could say that the Fendermen simply rearranged it in a more modern form.....

You be the judge......

Please note that the legendary Jimmie Rodgers (the singing brakeman) is not the same artist as Jimmie Rodgers who sang "Honeycomb" or "Kisses Sweeter than Wine"...... in the 1960s...

Thanks for the info Tim. On a blues note, last night on the local news, AT&T/ Cingular wireless donated 500,000 dollars to the Blues museum in Indianola,Ms.. B.B.King was on hand as well as some younger blues players. King has donated thousands of his own money to help fund it also.
