Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My Husband, Jimmie Rodgers was the first book-length biography ever published about a country musician, and fittingly so. No single performer left as profound an impression on early country music. Songs that Rodgers popularized--"T for Texas," "Daddy and Home," "In the Jailhouse Now," "Miss the Mississippi"--are still a regular part of country performers' repertoires. Despite a recording career that lasted only six years (1927-1933) and ended with Rodgers's untimely death from tuberculosis, in many ways Jimmie Rodgers is still very much with us.
