notes

Growing up on a farm in Northern Alabama Dean Mitchell began to fall in love with music as he was influenced by the South's most enduring musical traditions, country and gospel music.

Dean began singing at an early age from the Sacred Harp song books at church. Tuning into WCKY radio out of Cincinnati, Ohio, he was able to listen to Jimmie Rodgers, Wayne Rainey, Ernest Tubb, Roy Acuff and many others. Since that time Dean has recorded several albums and devoloped into an artist that has maintained a regional, national, and international profile through radio, television, and personal appearances.

Dean received an endorsement from one of his heros, Ernest Tubb, which led to his being accepted on the touring roster of the Alabama State Council on the Arts (the first Country artist to be listed there). He has toured the U.S. as well as England, Ireland, the British West Indies, Canada, and Romania.

Dean has been a featured artist in several country and gospel music magazines. He has also appeared in a number of scholastic journals on the history of Country Music, including the "Old Time Country Music" magazine, published by The Center for the Study of Southern Culture at the University of Mississippi.

Besides his guest appearances, Dean has also appeared in commercials, advertising his recordings on the TNN and USA Network. In 1996 Dean returned to the studio to record a collection of gospel songs he had written which reflect his sentiment on the social and moral challenges that our country faces today.

Most recently Dean was inducted into the internet's Rockabilly Hall of Fame. Whether country or gospel music, Dean Mitchell has always presented songs that were timely and well delivered. This collection of Jimmie Rodgers' music is no exception.

  • A Fitting Tribute
    author: Paul W Dennis

    I'm not all that familiar with Dean Mitchell - I have a salute to Ernest Tubb on vinyl that he did 25 or so years ago and it was a respectful and worthy tribute so I decided to give this a shot. Good idea ! Four CD set containing every song Jimmie Rodgers was known to have recorded at a very affordable price. Dean is an excellent singer (although not as good a yodeller as the "Singing Brakeman") and the treatment given the songs, although a little less acoustic than I would have liked, is befitting the songs. Which songs are the standouts will depend on which of Jimmie's styles you like best. I love 'em all and was delighted with Dean's take on "Mother, The Queen of My Heart"

  • Thought Jimmie had come back to life
    author: Harold Crosby
