    Jimmie Rodgers’ Train Whistle Blues is a terrific introduction to the railroad songs, blues and yodeling style that made him one of country music’s earliest stars. Originally released by RCA Victor in 1958, this 16-track collection gathers Jimmie Rodgers recordings from his groundbreaking recording years, with songs such as “Train Whistle Blues,” “Hobo Bill’s Last Ride,” “Blue Yodel No. 5,” “Any Old Time” and “Mississippi Delta Blues.” The railroad theme runs strongly through the collection, but there’s plenty of heartbreak, wandering and good old-fashioned blues attitude too. Rodgers’ voice and guitar are wonderfully direct and unpolished, making this a fascinating listen for anyone interested in the roots of country, folk and American blues.
