For the first release on Bob Dylan's Egyptian imprint, he assembled an all-star cast to honor one of his primary influences, country innovator Jimmie Rodgers. It is evident that this collection is a labor of love for all involved. Obvious contributors like Dylan, Willie Nelson and Dickey Betts and unexpected performers including John Mellencamp, Aaron Neville and Bono conspire to make this a truly heartfelt homage to a great legend. The production values here are deliberately lo-fi. The authenticity that is conveyed by the rawness of the performances and sound is enough of a tribute to Rodgers' style in and of itself. Betts' "Waiting For A Train," Dylan's "My Blue Eyed Jane," Steve Earle's "In The Jailhouse Now," and especially Jerry Garcia, David Grisman, and John Kahn's performance of "Blue Yodel #9" all have an unmistakable sense of earthy swing that echoes the rural early-20th century culture that Rodgers expressed so well. Overall, a great addition to the collection of anyone who loves American music.
