Jimmie Rodgers - Brakemans Blues
Review by Sandro Falce
Jimmie Rodgers' album "Brakeman's Blues" is a timeless classic that showcases the legendary singer's unique style and powerful voice. Released in 1961, the album features some of Rodgers' most iconic tracks, including "Waiting for a Train," "Blue Yodel No. 1," and "In the Jailhouse Now."
The album is a perfect representation of Rodgers' signature blend of blues, country, and folk music. His emotive vocals and expert guitar playing are on full display, and his storytelling ability is second to none. Each track is a masterclass in storytelling, with vivid imagery and relatable themes that resonate with listeners even today.
"Brakeman's Blues" is an essential listen for anyone interested in the history of American music. Jimmie Rodgers' influence can be heard in the work of countless artists, and this album is a testament to his enduring legacy. From the upbeat "Blue Yodel No. 1" to the haunting "Frankie and Johnny," every track on this album is a classic in its own right.
