What are you listening to?

Love T Rex. I think I have everything they recorded as well as a lot of stuff Marc did solo.

 

Listening to Velvet Underground right now.

Tom T: What can I say? Yes, that song is done in Jimmie Rodgers' style. A far as I know I have everything that Jimmie ever recorded (even his work with the Carter Family).

 

 

Yes! I particularly like Merle Haggard's take on Jimmie Rodgers:

 

Mule Skinner Blues

 

No Hard Time Blues

 

TB Blues

Also, not Jimmie Rodgers but great (and imitated by the Grateful Dead)

Workin Man Blues

But right now I am listening to Hank Snow. Great old-time country music!
