The songs of country music pioneer Jimmie Rodgers have been
appropriated by dozens of musicians and radically transformed since
he first recorded them nearly 90 years ago. His songs have often
resurfaced at critical moments when country music has been forced
to confront issues of style, gender, race, and tradition. In this
cultural and historical study, Jocelyn R. Neal discusses three of
Rodgers' most influential songs "Muleskinner Blues," "In the
Jailhouse Now," and "T for Texas." She offers a radically new
perspective on the role of Rodgers and his music in the making of
country music, and on the ways in which individual songs take on
special significance in American cultural life."
