when i was in college, i bought "child of clay", and i still have this somewhat rare vinyl 33 rpm record.....all the songs are very good, but one stood out 35 years ago: a song called "i'll say goodbye", written by rod mckuen......it's a gorgeous ballad and is still as fresh and beautiful now as it was all those years ago......check out this CD.....in my opinion, it is jimmie rodgers' most exquisite, sophisticated performance...........

5.0 out of 5 stars Well worth the long wait, July 25, 2004

CHILD OF CLAY (A&M SP 4130) was released in 1967 and WINDMILLS OF YOUR MIND (SP 4187) in 1969, and this is the first time in over 20 years since either has been available. The wait has been agonizingly long but rewarding nonetheless. Both albums demonstrated Mr. Rodgers' growth as an artist from his earlier pop/country late '50s hits, especially the socially conscious "Child of Clay." Many memorable melodic numbers, including "Windmills," "I'll Say Goodbye" and "My Love is a Wanderer" can be found on this set.
A third set on A&M, TROUBLED TIMES (SP 4242) from 1970, did not chart but would be worthy of reissue, because Rodgers wrote most of the songs and the album was ahead of its time (preceding the singer-songwriter era).
After leaving A&M he released a double album, YESTERDAY AND TODAY (one LP of vintage hits and another of new material) in 1978 and had an occasional single on the country charts. It would be great if all of his many fine performances were available again soon.

5.0 out of 5 stars One Great Album and One So-So Album, April 10, 2005

The 5 stars are for the excellent "Child Of Clay" LP from 1967. If you know Jimmie Rodgers only for tunes like "Honeycomb" and "Kisses Sweeter Than Wine', "Child Of Clay" shows what the man was capable of when given some great material and matching production. Best cuts: "The Lovers", "Pass Me By", "Today" and "My Love Is A Wanderer". The follow-up LP, "Windmills Of Your Mind", is also included.
