2008 six CD box set dedicated to the influence of the father of Country Music, released to coincide with the 75th Anniversary of the death of 'The Singing Brakeman'. This collection documents the extent of his influence by gathering together a remarkable collection of cover recordings by artists ranging from Country icons like Gene Autry, Jimmie Davis, Hank Snow, Lefty Frizzell, Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Marty Robbins, Bill Monroe, Merle Haggard and Ernest Tubb to Pop and Rock legends like Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, Rick Nelson, Jerry Lee Lewis and Jerry Garcia. Comprising a total of 153 tracks on six CDs, this unprecedented collection begins to do justice to Jimmie Rodgers' staggering legacy. The cap box set also offers Bear Family's usual lavish production values and attention to detail, including rare vintage photographs and detailed notes by music historian Carey Ginell.
