Song Of The Day #292

Ranch Radio brings you some early Gene Autry who, like so many in the late 20's and early 30's, got his start by mimicking the singing and yodeling of Jimmie Rodgers. Autry did it better than most and here he is performing Birmingham Daddy.

The tune is available on his 23 track CD Gene Autry: Blues Singer, 1929-1931.

You'll note in the photo he strikes a pose very much like Jimmie Rodgers.
