There is a “beautiful simplicity” to the late Cajun country singer Jimmy C. Newman’s country songs, as Joel Savoy noted Wednesday night at Brooklyn’s Jalopy Theatre during the first of three northeastern Farewell Alligator Man--A Tribute to the Music of Jimmy C. Newman shows centering on the songs and artists involved in last year’s album of the same name, produced by Savoy for his Eunice, La.-based Valcour Records. The album’s 14 tracks were culled mostly from Newman’s 1950s
