[78-L] Jimmie Rodgers Museum

[David Lennick]

I have quite a few US pressings as well as a late 40s album of reissues on RCA Victor. Many of his Canadian recordings were issued in the States, although most were dubbed because Canada didn't extend the run-out to the label till 1938. All are as "Montana Slim".
