One has to wonder what his body of work would have been like if he had lived longer. There's no question in my mind he was the Bob Dylan of his era. I was glad to see Ken Burns give Jimmie so much attention in his "Country Music" documentary. More people probably became aware of his music and his legacy due to that than in the previous fifty years. It was also good to see Burns give credit to Jimmie's sister-in-law, Elsie McWilliams, for writing or co-writing a number of the songs (39 or 40, I think) that Jimmie recorded. A particular favorite of mine that she wrote is "Mississippi Moon". He was, and is, a national treasure.

This song always makes me sad. The guy was just trying to do his job and the rustlers killed him.
