Once will have heard this LP I'm sure you will agree with many record reviewers and me that nobody on record ever performed the songs of Jimmie Rodgers better than blind Van Williams. Van put up his guitar about 50 years later than Jimmie but the oldtime feeling is exactly the same. "Yesterday" and "Prohibition Has Done Me Wrong" have never been available by Rodgers, so you must get at least Van's versions. I'm sure Jimmie couldn't have done them better.
