SINGS FOLK SONGS and FOLK SONG WORLD were released on Roulette label in 1959 & 1960. They've been out of print for many years, and although neither contain top 40 hits, they demonstrate Jimmie Rodgers doing what he does best -- tell stories for folks of all ages with clarity, intelligence and imagination. Not to mention the first rate vocals. My favorite tune on SINGS is "Lord Randal," the story of a young man poisoned by a wicked fiance. "The Crocodile," "Waltzing Matilda," "The Fox & Goose" and "Froggy" are great tunes for children; some of these also were sung by Burl Ives. WORLD continues in a similar path. Perhaps its best known tune is "English Country Garden," which adds some challenging lyrics to a number familiar to all beginning piano students. "Whiticombe Fair" is a humorous song about an overworked horse. Thankfully, someone has discoveredthese long lost treasures and reissued them. ... . Keep up the good work so the next generation can discover this essential music.
