"A door would open up and I would just go through it, and I just kept doing that for all my life." - Mimi Roman"A door would open and I would just go through it...." That is how Mimi Roman, at 87, tells us of her life, including her time as a successful country singer in the 1950s and early 60s. But it took talent and a strong, beautifully distinctive voice for those doors to open, and to go far once on the other side. It also took guts and plenty of stamina for a 20-year-old Jewish cowgirl from Brooklyn in the 1950s to make her way to country music fame, albeit too briefly, before taking herself out of the game at the ripe old age of 28. Although many country stars from the 50s and 60s have long faded into obscurity, Mimi Roman, for more than 60 years, has gently persisted in the hearts and minds of pure country, honky-tonk, and rockabilly fans around the world. But what makes Mimi different from many country stars from that "Golden Age" who now reside somewhere in anonymity? For many, the answer will be found in this special double album, The First Of The Brooklyn Cowgirls, which features newly released and restored personal acetates, publishing demos and radio and television transcriptions recorded during Mimi Roman's career. Mimi's story, like her voice, is remarkable. - Joe Hopkins (music historian)First Of The Brooklyn Cowgirls almost exclusively features unissued material. The double CD is sourced from one of a kind reels and acetates taken from Mimi's personal collection. These tracks are almost as rare as a Jewish girl from Brooklyn singing country music in the '50s & '60s!Introducing Mimi 1:37Weary Blues From Waitin' (Hank Williams) 2:23Announcing The Winner 1:36Honky Tonk Blues (Hank Williams) 1:48Hank Williams Medley (Hank Williams) 1:56Never Ramble, Never Gamble, Never Roam (Allen-Patton-Eager) 2:21I'm The One Who Loves You (Stuart Hamblen) 4:10I'm Lookin' For Some Lovin' (Clay Eager) 1:44Comes From Brooklyn 0:15Wrap It Up And Save It w/Intro And Outro (Al Blasingame) 2:42Route 66 (Bobby Troup) 2:27Weary Blues From Waitin (Hank Williams) 3:04My Tears Are Beginning To Show (Carol Bass) 2:45Rocky Road Blues (Bill Monroe) 2:31The Wind Up (Dave Coleman) 2:03Gotta Have My Baby Back (Floyd Tillman) 3:18You Win Again (Hank Williams) 2:43Born In East Virginia (Traditional) 1:52Four Foot Deep In Tear Drops 2:09Rose Colored Glasses 2:48He's My Marathon Man 2:34Twenty-One 2:18You Mean All The World To Me 2:25I'm Not A Child Any More 1:40Folsom Prison Blues (Johnny Cash) 2:12I Gotta Know (Paul Evans) 1:38Dark Is The Night 1:34Seasons Of My Heart (Darrell Edwards-George Jones) 2:21What Am I Worth (Darrell Edwards-George Jones) 0:55Dix-A-Billy (Evans-Harris-Reardon) 2:00You're The One 3:11Isle Of Golden Dreams (Walter Blaufuss-Gus Kahn) 3:21The Way The Wind Blows 2:02Fire In My Soul 1:35*There's No Holding You*CD Only
