This is the reason I never listen to modern pop "music." None of it is half this good.

This is so good, thanks for the upload.

Glad someone had the foresight to preserve this. Such great music.

How many of you old timers remember Moon Mullican he was my grandmother's brother .Back then it was about the music and culture it's all gone now !

Us kids used to sit on the floor with our Daddy and listen to his Jimmie Rodgers albums with him. He loved that music so much. Brings back lovely memories of a simpler time. Miss you, Daddy! ❤️

Where is my Kazoo...

you do realize this is the first music video with audio. last daYS OF 1929 AND another first day of 1930. It would be years before you could hear it in tho theaters. they did not have audio for years.

Getting to know Jimmie in 2024 after I became a country producer a year ago. Got a lot to learn.

The original spike Jones and Lonnie Donigan Skittle group!

The President of the United States! Incredible that even someone as legendary as FDR was intrigued by our simple mountain music. ❤️

What he said

As much as industrialism repulses me im glad for the public library and Andrew Carnegie thanks to him a kid in the 20th century could wander across this stuff just like they do today on the internet without all the toxic BS.

First heard this song circa 1967 sung by Arlo Guthrie. Thanks.

¡Great Jimmy!

❤so beautiful 🥹

Jimmie was only 35 when he passed in 1933. Died of consumption(TB).

I’ve listened to Jimmie Rodger’s music most of my life, and I can easily hear his influence on the music I play today. A little J.R. history, if I may: Rodger’s Dad was a foreman with the Railroad which caused Jimmie to grow up around trains and train yards, where he learned to sing and play the guitar. Being taught by white and black railroad workers, he merged Country music and the Blues. And by adding his distinctive yodel to the sound, he made it his own. By the time he was 14, he was a full-fledged brakeman and was riding trains all over the country. He incorporated his train knowledge and railroad travels to different states into the songs he wrote. For instance, in “T for Texas,” he sings about Texas, Tennessee, Georgia and Atlanta, and in many of his other songs, he sings about several other cities and states that he visited. By adding his many train adventures; his happy-go-lucky confidence; love travails in various cities; and his sassy sense of humor to his Bluesy Country music; he endeared himself to millions of people all over the country during the hard times of the Depression. But it was the trains and the Blues that made the difference between him and other singers and connected him so well with the public by singing about their cities, their states, and their troubles. He was the Elvis Presley or Beatles of his day and remains to be the greatest, single influence on American music. But let's not forget Rodger's sister-in-law, Elsie McWilliams of Meridian, MS, who wrote the majority of Jimmie's songs. Even though Rodger's eight years of popularity was during the depth of the Depression, Jimmie's simple man's songs, being highly influenced by Elsie's lyrics of faith, family, home and sweethearts, made their songs of hard times and heartaches treasured by the American public. Sorry for being so long winded. . .

Jugs are still widely used by black performers in rap music videos.

When she asks wyd?

I need to put my shouting shoes on! That's some good music!

I am 132 years old and I thoroughly enjoyed this film recording of Jimmie Rdgers, it certainly takes me back to the good old years.

God bless!!!

Love Jimmie Roger....81yrs old. Listened all my life...grand old Opry and Louisiana Hayride..only music played....no television at our old shotgun house....I worked for Southern Pacific RR.... a brakeman...conductor for the T&NO division. Understand where and what Jimmie is referring to and singing about...lot's of memories ..Good memories ...

He's a performer

That last song is stunning!

USA has always been miles ahead from the rest of the world. Just look at this, what year is that, like 30s? No questions asked, this is America, golden land of popular music.

Does anyone know who the two women are? Especially the one in the window, slow at making coffee.

When was this recorded? And where?

That's one very nice 45 style Martin he's got!! I think an OM-45? His "Blue yodel" song is interesting-- it borrow a whole lot from what African American bluesmen were doing at the time. The melody for Rogers' song was subsequently borrowed for the c.1942 tune "C for Conscription" by the Almanac Singers, which also happens to be a yodel sung by a very young Pete Seeger!

most the days I've been livin I'd yeoh delaheay wunderin on guitars that sing and the mouths that are quiet

Where is this film officially archived? Looks like a Smithsonian type thing

Is that really how they lived back then. Just carrying a folding bed and just travel around just jamming? What an awesome life if that's true. I bet people called them hobos too. Which I guess is technically true but that sounds like a wild ride to me. I bet those fuckers saw some shit back then.

I'm not trying to offend anyone but do you think it's because they have bigger lips?

No Auto-Tune no synthesizers, just a microphone. All done in one take

The songs are amazing! A person who can sing the struggles of common people has to have kindness, selflessness, and creativity through the roof. What a wonderful music! As a non-American, I am so glad I discovered this great music!

Not even the reggae version is the original. I thought it was. Thank you for the TRUE history lesson

Rydem. Natural. Naki.

Imagine if they could see blk men+women today the ones on tv not the business ones,

I grew up with this and am playing this for my 94 year old father as he rests.

I was only born in ‘70 in Lpool, and not brought up on Country. But I love it now, and this is superb, so evocative makes you wish you weee around back then. Thanks for posting ❤

My grandparent’s neighbor in the 1900’s-1930’s. Both had groups and families that sing and played. Both lived in what is now the Shenandoah National Park on the Greene County side. The Samuels family still carry’s on the tradition of old time bluegrass and gospel singing though not many of us descendants of them left. I knew a lot of the Meadows and Lam descendants and went to church with some for 40+ years.

Does anyone know the name of the song played during the intro?
