I have an original Jimmy Rodgers recording of this song,with prestige cover. Got it 50 years ago,played it once,and been afraid to ruin it since. Have later copies that I play instead.
Bill Monroe got peeved when Old Timey Music interviewed him. The interviewer mentioned Ted Hawkins predated him on the mandolin. Bill said, “ Naw, I was the first to play like this.”
Im aware of his lead guitar on the two instrumentals (fuzzy Rag&DarkiesWail) and the intro to Chain Gang blues, but considering you have the vast majority of his stuff, do you know of any other times he did lead guitar on recordings even on intros? thanks
@@rebelliousredneckvlogs Hi. It's difficult to answer because the guitar was not considered a lead instrument in Old Time music. Many of his recordings are with The Skillet Lickers but his play was only has a supporting role. Riley had also a pretty solid solo career were he played only guitar or where is accompanied by an accordion or other instrument. But in general, in most of his recordings, you can hear his playing clearly, despite not "leading". Hope it make sense.
I have to agree, except I wouldn't say he had a nicer tone, just a different tone. Jimmie had the perfect tone for his songs. But true, Riley seemed to have no feeling at all in this song.
I don’t see where anybody thinks he doesn’t have feeling in his singing I see the opposite I love Riley Puckett singing and guitar playing
I agree so much pain in his voice
My man sounds like he’s on codine cough syrup
pretty good. real deal
I love these down home tunes.

This side was recorded for Colunbua Records in Atlanta, April 1929 with Riley's g-vcl and probably Clayton McMichen and Bert Layne,f.
Jimmie Rogers was influenced by and loved Riley Puckett the legend.
excellent share thanks like it a lot cheers,Keith

Good stuff
Thank you so much for this uploading! I only need 17 songs to find by Riley Puckett to have his complete discography!
You're welcome pal! Greetings from Spain!
Of course, you can tell me the songs you're missing and I'll see if I have them

¡Muchas gracias por esta reliquia!
Anybody who doesn't like Riley Puckett should see an Ear Doctor, as a matter of necessity.

🎶😎🎶
Riley Pickett will never come to Jimmy Rogers Jimmy Rogers The legend of all the legends
I like the fiddle! While Puckett had a nicer tone than did rodgers, Puckett sings emotionless? Anyone feel this too?

I disagree
Nobody could sing a jimmie Rodgers song like jimmie. You knew within 5 seconds after the song starts whether it's jimmie or not.
No I don't agree.
