I used to really love 

Jimmie Rodgers - The Singing Brakeman

 (not to be confused with the blues man)

Dylan had earlier once remarked, "The songs were different than the norm. They had more of an individual nature and an elevated conscience... I was drawn to their power."[






a favourite . . . . story songs, the roots of country and western music . . . . led me to bluegrass and High and Lonesome stuff . . . . . . the Delmore Brothers et al
