Obray Ramsey Sings Jimmie Rodgers Favorites - LP on the Prestige/International label



Here is on more Obray Ramsey LP. If you like this I encourage you to go back in the blog and find the other Obray Ramsey LP`s I have posted in the past.
The Obray Ramsey records I have posted in the past had more response from fans of the Archive that any other records. I do have one more of his LP`s I will post soon. Sorry the scans of the back of the LP cover don`t line up so well, I have to make more than one scan to get the whole cover. Hope you enjoy this one!

  6. What an obscure and interesting album! Obray Ramsey has a strongly personal approach to sining and accompanying these songs. There is no attempt at all to imitate Jimmie Rodgers.

    John Greenway's excellent liner notes cover Jimmie Rodgers life; how folklorists reacted to his work; and background of Obray Ramsey.

    Thanks for this fine post.

  7. Opps! I meant "personal approach to singing" not "personal approach to sining". Its tough to type under pressure!

  8. Yeah Don, he takes Jimmie`s tunes and really makes them his own. Pretty neat record just because of that, let alone Obray`s banjo style.
