  • Description

    When the Country Music Hall Of Fame opened in 1961, Jimmie Rodgers was the first to be inducted. The quote on the plaque unveiled that day summed up his importance in the most succinct way: "Jimmie Rodgers' name stands foremost in the Country music field as the man who started it all."

    This 2CD Set brings together his most essential tracks in one sublime package.
