CD Reviews

Great find, especially for confirmed fans

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Before buying this, you first should hear one of the compilations of Jimmie Rodgers' biggest hits. Next check out his skillful renditions of folk songs (his strongest format). Doing so will make you a confirmed fan, if you're not already familiar with his work. #1 BALLADS is a collection of beautiful, but slow-tempo melodies popular during the late 1950s. This selection of cover versions has been out of print since the early '60s. TV FAVORITES place Rodgers in a big band setting, typical of variety show orchestras of that era. Many thanks to Westside label for their commitment to reissue Rodgers' complete catalog of Roulette label recordings. Let's hope his work for Dot and A&M labels also receive equal attention."
