Jimmie Rodgers was invited back to the Victor studios in Camden, New Jersey, where he recorded the first of his 'Blue Yodels', and 'T for Texas'. His songs crossed over from tough Blues to sentimental odes to home and family. Jimmie's recordings were phenomenally popular with rural Southern audiences, even in the depths of the Depression. In May 1933, with his health rapidly failing, Jimmie traveled to New York City to make a series of recordings over 8 days. This finally proved too much and Jimmie Rodgers died in New York's Hotel Taft May 26, 1933. Along with the Carter Family and a handful of others, he was both a preserver and popularized a precious body of expression like no one before. He extended that tradition, crossing the color line to record with black artists such as Louis Armstrong and Blues guitarist Clifford Gibson. Jimmie Rodgers' influence in Country music is inescapable, both in his singing/ guitar style and in the songs he wrote or popularized, including Waiting For A Train, Miss The Mississippi and You, My Carolina Sunshine Gal, Peach Picking Time In Georgia, and In the Jailhouse Now, and his Blue Yodels. Some of those whom Jimmie Rodgers influenced directly include Bill Monroe, Hank Snow, Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Merle Haggard.  It can be heard later in the Bluegrass of Bill Monroe's 'Muleskinner Blues' and in Hank Williams' 'Honky Tonk Blues' and 'Lovesick Blues'.
