1 comments so far (post your own)Jimmie Rodgers' Country Music Hall of Fame plaque reads "His name stands out in the world of country music as the man who started it all." Who could argue with that statement? He is remembered as the father of country music, but his combination of blues and hillbilly styles makes him a a forbear of rock n' roll as well.
