seagoddess Jody Gibson (Cranky Yankee) Jimmie Rodgers book (6) JODY GIBSON in new Jimmie Rodgers book 05 Sep 09


JIMMIE RODGERS fans, as well as fans and friends of Mudcat's late friend JODY GIBSON (CRANKY YANKEE) will want to check out this new release by researcher and author, Barry Mazor. "MEETING JIMMIE RODGERS: HOW AMERICA'S ORIGINAL ROOTS MUSIC HERO CHANGED THE POP SOUNDS OF A CENTURY" is a fresh, vibrant look at one of America's most popular and influential musical artists, and includes some fascinating research and comments about JODY!

JODY GIBSON, according to the author, really did work with GEORGE MARTIN while JODY was living in the UK, and also according to the author, "had a direction-altering influence on four separate styles of music - skiffle, rock-a-billy, bluegrass and country".

Way to go, JODY! I can just hear those banjo strings "woohooing" now!

A generous Preview of the book, including some references to JODY, can be viewed at: http://books.google.com/books?id=wHHoRDCFO6YC&printsec=frontcover

Check it out!
