Jimmie Rodgers: On Texas Time
Jimmie Rodgers (1897-1933), the “Father of Country Music,” shaped generations of artists —from Ernest Tubb, Merle Haggard, Dolly Parton, and Bob Dylan to today’s Colter Wall and Charley Crockett. A member of both the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Rodgers even called Texas home for a few years, leaving his stamp on the Hill Country and San Antonio.
