Good memories

I have been looking for these songs for years. I was so happy to find them again. This CD brings back so many great memories. I absolutely love this CD. There was a small problem, but it was with the delievery not the seller. The shipping was fast and the packaging was good. I rate the seller with 5 stars, and will buy from them again.

A pleasure long treasured and lost is mine again...

Most of these songs were issued on a Roulette LP around 1959, titled "Jimmie's Golden Year" if I recall it correctly. I wore that darn thing out between the age of 15 and age 17 or so, and memorized all the lyrics, although I can't sing aloud without shame. I bought the CD version earlier this month, and I just played it twice through in the car during a long drive. This is folk/pop, performed just about as well as it ever could be. I have heard many of these tunes performed by others, but Rodgers' versions are among the best. (Well, maybe the Clancy Brothers take on "Waltzing Matilda" is equal to his...different enough so that both versions are worth owning.) I like everything on this, but the more uptempo songs are the bigger successes, simply because they are fun to sing along with, whether silly or a love song. "Woman From Liberia" does not make much sense logically, and when I first purchased the record at about age 14, I didn't like it. A week or so later, it had become my favorite cut of all of them. I don't know why, it just makes me happy. There are moments when the "backing vocals" intrude on the joy of hearing Jimmie's pure voice, but that was common in pop and rock music in that era. The record companies did not even trust such distinctly wonderful voices as Johnny Cash, Buddy Holly, Rosemary Clooney or Doris Day to carry many two-minute songs alone. If you want clean lyrics, clear singing, brisk accompaniment and a jolly good time, buy this before it goes out of print. Get a used copy if you have to. Jimmie is obscure now, having been tragically injured in a police incident around 1960 and coming back a couple of years later to a music industry which had moved past his best style. My, though, how good these performances are!

Wonderful country-flavored pop. . . .

Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2000

Jimmie Rodgers was one of the most successful artists of the late fifties; however, in any discussion of the music of that period, he remains unthought of by most until one of his songs is mentioned. Then, there is an almost unanimous "Oh, Yeah!" from everyone, quickly followed by "Do You Remember. . . .?"
The answer is "Yes," most folks do remember, and this excellent Rhino collection will bring all of those memories flooding back. The biggest hits are all here, highlighted by "Honeycomb", "Kisses Sweeter Than Wine", "Uh,Oh, I'm Falling in Love Again" and "Secretly". But the strength of this compilation lies in what follows. There is the fairly well known "Make Me a Miracle" and the whimsical "Bimbombey", both of which are usually recognized the moment they start playing.
The disc includes five lesser known cuts that would make the album worth having even if none of the previously mentioned tracks were there. Rodgers' beautiful second tenor soars with the ballads "Wonderful You" and "Child of Clay". As a bonus, there are excellent versions of "Waltzing Matilda" and "It's Over".
Rhino put eighteen tracks on this disc and not one of them is out of place. Anytime you combine excellent material and an excellent voice you get a remarkable product. The Best of Jimmie Rodgers is just that, a remarkable compilation that belongs in any good collection of the formative days of pop/rock. Highly recommended.

Jimmie Rodgers as we remember him

Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2010

I recently met up with the girl I dated during freshman year of high school at the Jersey Shore. She remembered that I had sent a boxtop from a Ronzoni product, along with 25 cents, to then-radio station WMGM in New York for "Are You Really Mine?" by Jimmie, her favorite song at the time (Summer, 1958). She still kept the record all these years, but it was warped and unplayable. She had not been able to find the recording anywhere. After she returned to Florida, I found this gem on Amazon and sent it to her. It is the real, original Jimmie Rodgers and includes all of his delightful hits. She called to tell me that she has been playing the CD over and over and thinks of me, our high school and the way America was (before "Jersey Shore") every time she hears "Are You Really Mine?" I highly recommend this CD to anyone who wants to hear Jimmie Rodgers sing the original versions of his optimistic, upbeat, wholesome songs ("Kisses Sweeter Than Wine," for example).

Arrives quickly, excellent selection of some of Jimmie Rodgers' best

Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2021

I wanted this album because as a teenager, Jimmie was one of my favorite singers. This was partly because his first wife had been my music teacher, I grew up till mid-age 12 in our mutual hometown, and because I was not only into music generally, but rock music and folk music (the latter of which Jimmie identified with). He was a truly genuine human being, both as a youth and all the way through his life. He died recently, and I felt the need to add his music in a material form -- DVD, not just downloaded from a music streaming service. My younger sister kept all of our records. So I was glad to find the DVDs on Amazon. I bought others, too, but this one is good in providing an over-all sense of his work, and nearly all my particular favorites.

Fast alle großen Erfolge von Jimmie Rodgers aus den Fünfziger Jahren in Originalfassung - mit einer Ausnahme

Reviewed in Germany on August 14, 2016

Verified Purchase

Die bei Amazon angebotene CD "The Best of Jimmie Rodgers" von Rhino sollte man nicht mit der gleichnamigen CD verwechseln, die von MCA herausgegeben wurde und von den Liedern aus den Fünfziger Jahren ausschließlich Neuaufnahmen enthält. Im Gegensatz zu letzterer sind auf der Rhino-CD mit Ausnahme der beiden letzten Titel nur solche, die bei Roulette aufgenommen wurden, und diese sind mit einer Ausnahme alles Originalaufnahmen.

Eine vollständige Titelliste ist bei Amazon U.S.A. auf Amazon.com veröffentlicht. Bei Amazon.de habe ich keine gefunden, aber vielleicht hätte ich beim Suchen auch nur die Augen aufmachen müssen.

Auf der CD-Hülle steht, daß die CD als AAD klassifiziert ist. Aber für AAD ist die Tonqualität durchwegs gut, nur bei Honeycomb ist mir in der allerletzten Silbe eine Macke aufgefallen, sowie eine oder zwei Sekunden vorher ein kurzes, leises Knistern.

Außerdem ist auf der Hülle zu jedem Titel das Label (fast immer Roulette) und der Erscheinungsmonat angegeben. Die beiden letzten Titel sind aus den Jahren 1966 und 67, die übrigen alle aus den Jahren 1957-60.

Die einzige Enttäuschung war für mich Waltzing Matilda, denn diese im Januar 1960 veröffentlichte und vermutlich im Dezember 1959 eingespielte Aufnahme ist nicht das Original. Bestimmt hat man bei Amazon.de bei dem Hinweis, daß die CD möglicherweise Neuaufnahmen enthält, an diese Version von Waltzing Matilda gedacht. Wie ich im Internet gefunden habe, wurde auch im März 1959 eine Version von Waltzing Matilda aufgenommen, und diese dürfte das Original sein. Die Version auf der Rhino-CD gefällt mir überhaupt nicht, nicht nur, weil ich sie noch nie zuvor gehört habe und weil sie nicht das Original ist, sondern auch, weil sie bei Weitem nicht so rhythmisch wie das Original ist, und weil ich sie überladen finde. Das Original ist auf der CD Jimmie Rodgers / Sings Folk Songs zu finden, die ebenfalls von Amazon angeboten wird. Allerdings ist die Tonqualität von Waltzing Matilda auf der Folksongs-CD dem Stereo zum Opfer gefallen.

Bei Woman from Liberia ist das Erscheinungsdatum der Roulette-Single mit Oktober 1960 angegeben. Aber die Aufnahme ist identisch mit der auf der CD Jimmie Rodgers / Sings Folk Songs, die dort der LP Jimmie Rodgers aus dem Jahr 1957 entnommen wurde, nur kommt es mir vor, als würde sie bei Rhino etwas schneller laufen. Vielleicht wurde Woman from Liberia 1957 nur auf LP und evtl. EP und erst 1960 auch als Single angeboten.

Kisses Sweeter Than Wine wurde von der Single vom November 1957 genommen und dürfte somit die Original-Hitversion sein. Bei dieser Version singt der Chor mehrmals "sweeter than wine". Auf der CD Jimmie Rodgers / Sings Folk Songs hingegen ist eine andere Version, die ebenfalls aus dem Jahr 1957 stammen muß, und bei der der Chor nur Laute, aber keine Worte von sich gibt. Diese gefällt mir besser als die auf der Rhino-CD.

Als Rock and Roll würde ich folgende Titel auf der CD bezeichnen: Honeycomb, Kisses Sweeter Than Wine, Oh-Oh I'm Falling in Love Again, The Wizard, Bombombey, I'm Never Gonna Tell, Tucumcari und Woman from Liberia. Und mit etwas gutem Willen kann man auch noch Make Me a Miracle und Ring-a-Ling-a-Lario dazuzählen. Daneben enthält die CD auch noch eine ganze Reihe der unvermeidlichen gefühlvollen, langsamen Balladen.

Die CD ist etwas mehr als zur Hälfte in Mono. In Stereo sind Child of Clay, It's Over, Tucumcari, Ring-a-Ling-a-Lario, Waltzing Matilda, T.L.C. Tender Love and Care und Are You Really Mine. Bei Letzterem kommt die Stimme von Jimmie Rodgers fast nur auf dem rechten Kanal, was bei Wiedergabe über Kopfhörer nicht so angenehm ist.

Mit dieser CD hat man die meisten der großen Erfolge von Jimmie Rodgers aus den Fünfziger Jahren in der Originalfassung und überwiegend in guter Tonqualität. Ich persönlich hätte mir nur noch zusätzlich Hey Little Baby und die Originalaufnahme von Waltzing Matilda gewünscht, weil diese beiden auf der Folksongs-CD nicht so perfekt drauf sind. Aber auch so freue ich mich, die CD zu haben.
