Dear folks, This is a lifetime project. Collecting the complete Jimmie Widener discography in several exemplary because some 78's sides are poor looks like the Hercules labors, but here we are finely today.I started collecting western-swing in the late 90's and i was quite curious about that very talented artist, that had everything you need to meet succes ...Jimmie Widener always had my preference, not only as a guitar player, but also as a singer, his unique voice was so sincere, fresh and swingin' at the same time. I never really quite understood why his carrer ended nowhere, after 3 recording sessions at the KING studio and what sessions ! The cream of the cream of the Hillbilly Jazz was there !What hapened and why, the KING recording label, only put out these 1946 recordings in the early 1950's ? Today we still have no clue...this young man had everything...He is probably the most obscure and undercover talent of the 40's western-Swing scene. Not to mention this story of the three same ? Jimmie Widener ? is just so hard to believe ! So Folks, this is my tribute to the one and Only, JIMMIE WIDENER !Rodolphe Guiheux / DOGHOUSE & BONE Records
