This collection of 14 tracks offers a rich tapestry of traditional country, classic country, bluegrass, country blues, and honky tonk sounds, all wrapped up in a concise 38-minute journey.

Throughout the album, Rodgers' influence on the genre is evident, with each track offering a glimpse into the life and times of this country music legend. Whether you're a longtime fan or a newcomer to Rodgers' music, "My Blue-Eyed Jane" is a testament to the enduring power of traditional country music and the timeless appeal of Jimmie Rodgers' artistry."
