Jimmie Widener - I'll Be Satisfied - LP

 18 rare western swing tracks. Liner notes by Kevin Coffey.

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
