Day 6: Country Music and Crime Trivia

Did you know… (and why would you)?

Crime and Country Music Go Hand in Hand

Outlaws Bonnie Park and Clyde Barrow used some of their ill-gotten gains to buys country music albums. Bonnie’s artist of choice was Jimmie Rodgers, one of the “founding fathers” of country music, though we could argue that forever. He was a yodeler, so we can probably give him credit for bringing yodeling into country music.

One of the songs Jimmie Rodgers was known for was “Mule Skinner Blues.” I like Dolly Parton’s version, because she throws a little “lady” in there. Who’s gonna stop her?
