In these hard times we're going through it's uplifting to listen to the High Lonesome voice of Jimmy Rodgers and know you're not alone

Thank you very much. Country music has its roots in our hearts. I opened for Marty Robbins many years. Opened for Conway also. As a kid I lived About 95 miles from Grand ole opry. Hen I was old enough I was there on front row center. Thanks to Marty.

Ken Burns' documentary is the defining article on country, but BBC has always elevated subjects which we put so much importance in.

Wish you hadn't left this earth so soon.I think about you all the time.The time we walked around the family farm was one of my fondest memories. That and sitting by the beautiful fireplace in that awesome sunken living room of your log house on sand mountain. It was a magical time and a magical memory that lives own in my heart and mind. I remember the first time mother and I went to the opry to see you and uncle Charlie perform and I had what I think was an anxiety attack I was in the opry bathroom sick as a dog. I remember so many performers standing and looking in on me and so concerned for me.. Thank you all so many wonderful opry performers for caring that night. I've always thought you were such a cool man and musically ahead of the times back then. Love ya and miss you ,my dear grandfather Ira Loundermilk/Louvin

Ira does a little jump at the end of "Love Thy Neighbor" that reminds me of Chris Thile. Pure enjoyment of the music.

Been searching YT for Lights in the Valley by Roy Acuff from the Grand Ole Opry. This is where I found it and may be where I originally saw it. It had Hays blowing that train whistle. Lights in the Valley also morphed into Do Lord.

WLS in Chicago. Absolutely! It preceded and was, for its first two decades (the Golden Age of Radio), bigger than the Grand Ole Opry. I think there’s a little revisionist history going on here.

Jimmie Rodgers WAS a railroad man - until his health failed and he wasn't able to do the work. Available sales records show he sold less than the 20 million - but - where he may have sold only 10 to 15 thousand of a record - others sold only 500 to 1000. Jimmie was too ill to tour extensively - and he never toured north of the Mason-Dixon line. Jimmie Rodgers is accredited with the direct sale of more phonographs and guitars than anyone before or since his time. His records have been found worldwide.

The first time I worked with Charlie an IRA they were only singing gospel songs.

While this is very good, like many other examples dealing with brother duets, the Delmore brothers are largely overlooked yet they pre-date most of the others. They first recorded in 1931, and appeared on the Grand Ole Opry every week from 1932 to 1938 and must have been heard by, and influenced The Monroe brothers , the Blue Sky Boys and the Stanley brothers who all followed with similar styles, the one difference being, Rabon Delmore played a tenor guitar, the others used a mandolin.

Completely agree with this. The Delmore Brothers are a pillar of early music. They are so catchy too! The great Bob Dylan even got inspiration from them. I know this comment was made 9 years ago but I still agree with it regardless lol. 👍👍👍

@lordofthemound3890 Жыл бұрын

“All at once he just grabbed up a stick and beat her to death. It don’t say why he done it.” This has always been the basis of my fascination with the song Knoxville Girl. If the guy actually had a motivation it wouldn’t be half as interesting as it is. But the guy LOVED the girl, yet he felt compelled to do what he did.

I understand that this is a generalization and these are necessarily at risk of being fraught with folly, but . . . We may as well face it; none can do docs as well as the Brits.

Marcus Clements Perhaps I didn't make myself clear. I was referring to the high quality in general of BBC documentaries, not the popularity of the music. But since you brought it up, it does seem that many US artists are more appreciated in the UK than in the US. Remember, groups and acts such as the Beatles and Eric Clapton had to educate us as to the greatness of our blues artists. But, yes, in the hollow where I grew up in Eastern Kentucky I heard many a song that made its way to here across the Atlantic and in many genres the influence continues to be apparent. And my first instrument was the fiddle when I was six years old. A direct and almost unbroken connection to my Scots-Irish ancestors.

I know! When I said that I don't know why people are surprised about our liking for country/folk music from the States, it was a general observation. I was sharing your pleasure in what is a marvelous musical form...sorry to have gassed on about its origins - I'd love to get over to your part of the world one day - good to hear from a fellow musician.

Marcus Clements No apology necessary. Few on this side on the waters are sufficiently aware of these origins, this writer included. We're on the same page.

+CAROLVS That wasn't always the case. I remember enjoying and learning things from American documentaries in the mid-60s. But through the years studio owners and management concentrated on celebrity and shallow things, not facts & learning. Couple that with sped-up, super-quick edits that pared down the American attention span, and refusal to make more informative programming for its own sake--and there you go.
