Let Me Be Your Side Track (Take 2)

Rodgers & Gibson

This record was made in Louisville, Kentucky on June 11, 1931 featuring Jimmie Rodgers (vocal & guitar) and Clifford Gibson (guitar).

It is an interesting pairing of deperession era superstar, Jimmie Rodgers with ST. Louis blues man Clifford Gibson providing ample support on lead guitar.

Clifford Gibson accompanied Jimmie Rodgers on a Victor single, “Let Me Be Your Side Track” in 1931, then spent parts of the next three decades playing in the streets around St. Louis. He resurfaced on recordings in 1960 on the Bobbin label, and worked another three years in St. Louis’ Gaslight Square, before his death from pulmonary edema in 1963.
