SAME TRAIN A DIFFERENT TIME: JIMMIE RODGERS AND THE WHITE MAN'S BLUES
The guitarist-singer Jimmie Rodgers has been called "The Father of Country Music," "America's Blue Yodeler," and "The Singing Brakeman." Born in Meridian, MS, in 1897, Rodgers recorded briefly between 1927 and 1933, but defined country music as "the white man's blues" with a related legacy of crooning, jazz, Hawaiian guitar and eclectic vaudeville-style entertainment. On the 70th anniversary of his death, American Routes looks at the life and legacy of Jimmie Rodgers. We'll speak with biographer Nolan Porterfield, and hear comments from country singer Merle Haggard and bluesman John Jackson, among others. Also, music about Rodgers' favorite subject--trains--in many styles... blues, country, soul, roots, rock and more.

This week one of America's great traveling troubadors Willie Nelson pulls his tour bus into New Orleans. Willie chats and the Nelson family band plays a live set, including the old favorite, Angel Flying too Close to the Ground and the title track of his 2000 record, Milk Cow Blues. Also, we pay tribute to the late Piedmont bluesman John Jackson who played his brand of country blues from the Eastern Seaboard.
