Merle Haggard – Sings The Great Jimmie Rodgers Songs (CD) artist-frenchy Part of the 6th installmentMerle Haggard wore his reverence for Jimmie Rodgers on his sleeve throughout his entire career, and this collection makes that lineage explicit. Rodgers, the "Father of Country Music," cast a long shadow over Bakersfield and beyond, and Haggard understood better than almost anyone that the blue yodel wasn't just a style but a survival song for working people. These recordings connect two of American music's most essential voices across generations.
