The Early Years trace the evolution of Rodgers’ early writing and recording style, from rickety accompaniment on the solo guitar ( Blue Yodel, In the Jailhouse Now ) to multipiece and orchestral backing on the jazzier pieces ( Any Old Time ). As a guitarist, Rodgers had terrible timing and chord sense, so much so that he was barely able to hammer out a basic rhythm and his few trademark runs. Even his singing, for which he was best known, isn’t much; only his yodeling is impressive  . The Early Years, 1928-1929.
