“Oklahoma” Jimmie
Widener was born James Leon Widener just northwest of Tulsa, either in Cleveland
or 10 miles north across the Arkansas River in Hominy, Osage County, on February
15, 1924. Not only did Widener work several stints with the legendary Bob Wills,
he also worked with other great names in the music, including Spade Cooley, Tex
Williams and T. Texas Tyler. Widener’s efforts at forging a solo career are far
less known, but he left an impressive and uniformly excellent -- if
tantalizingly small -- body of recordings. His sessions for King, Imperial and
other labels used the cream of West Coast western swing musicians, like
guitarists Jimmy Wyble and Jimmy Bryant, steel men Joaquin Murphey, Noel Boggs
and Speedy West, fiddlers Harold Hensley and Tex Atchison, and others, and
yielded classics like “Jimmie’s Jump” and several songs that were popular enough
to be covered by other performers, like “Wake Up, Babe” and “What A Line.” He
died in Seminole in September 8, 2001, aged 77.
