My Walkin Shoes

[Leonefan]

I've listened to a lot of renditions of this song but this one is the best. Bluegrass forever.

[WildwoodvalleyBoy]

This song was written by a friend of mine, named Bob Hodge of central Tenn. JM didn't give him credit, said he forgot his name when confronted by the author. I just wonder why Ronnie didn't do a break, it shoud have been elementary picking.

Saw Del and the band at Merlefest 2011 last Friday. Man, they were great. The best high lonesome voice still around.

Vince Gill is great here. I wonder if young people who listen to the commercial trash that's called Country Music today ever scratch their heads and wonder what made the genre so popular over the years. I seldom even hear anything I like on the Grand Ole Opry anymore, now that all the legendary performers are gone. So I just listen to Bluegrass and my remastered CD's of the Carter Family. I once heard Bluegrass called the chamber music of Country. 

[ArkRed1]

Sad to say, but bluegrassman56 is correct. Music has gone to hell in a handbasket. Even country has succumbed to tattoos and body schrapnel. This and old time mountain music are about the only music left that's worth listening to. So we get funny looks when we say we play bluegrass or old time music. Let 'em look. We'll see who has the last laugh.

i hope the one dislike was a mistake, because i dont see how any one could not like this

[aubhar]

I grew up with this shit with the old man and I hated it. When he died in 1994, I now listen to it every now and then when i miss him. Too bad i did not appreciated his music back then. I still listen to acdc, ozzy etc. heavy metal have some great guitarist. but when the blue grass get playing on the banjo..i can see dad lookin at me saying..pretty good huh? I pretended I loved it. but really i did. Whomever love this music..keep enjoying it.. its good shit.

[cyrus621]

It doesn't get any tighter or better than this, Del and the boys + a great lead singer.

[bluegrassman776]

love this song forget how much!

[GodsFavoriteBassPlyr]

You could set your watch by this timing.

Really nice stuff!

[valverdista]

I guess bluegrass always have more rock n' roll than rock n´roll ever had.

[FiremanCody]

we is cool

[bulbheadmyass]

Totally melted.

Great rendition of this Jimmy Martin classic. Vince was always well suited for bluegrass. He has a couple other great recordings on his 2006 album, These Days, with the Del McCoury Band-"All Prayed Up" and "Cold Gray Light of Gone".

[gxtthebest]

Let's say that if we compare American Bluegrass, I 'a Canadian' prefer American Bluegrass probably due to the accent and the fact that Bluegrass originated from the States....

[estelle715]

This makes me proud to be an American!We have the best music than anyone else!So I think we have a right to be proud!This music says it all!My great-grandparents were born in Kentucky so I claim it as my roots! Thanks!

[steinsteel]

your dam right to be proud about your musical culture.I love true american music.A rich Hertige.

[bluegrassman56]

I live in South Carolina and am a pretty well known local bluegrass picker and people still look at you funny when you tell them you play and listen to bluegrass. In my opinoin it's the only true music we have left along with gospel quartet an gospel bluegrass

[bigmrclean]

They look at us funny i reken cuz we actually have talent, and show our talent through instruments and singing. Maybe if we started hollerin and screamin in a microphone like those roc idiots and heavy metal morons.

[bigmrclean]

@bluegrassman56 It's also one if not the most difficult genres to play and sing correctly. I know exactly what you mean.

[bigmrclean]

@bluegrassman56 THANK YOU! HELLOOOOOOO.....People....This is TRUE!

[DocSavage7]

@bluegrassman56 I'm a Yankee...but I tell you what...country, and bluegrass musicians are just about the best in the world...and the harmonies are outrageous.

[geohabe]

beautiful, seamless rendition! Great sounds. I agree with the comments about Vince Gill's great playing and saying...

[kiphemingway]

Vince should stick with bluegrass ! He sure has the voice for it...

[bgfriends]

I have the All Star Bluegrass Celebration on DVD but this song is not on it. Is theremore than one All Star Bluegrass Celebration DVD?

This is a nice version of this song.

[bgfriends]

Now that I've watched the whole video I see that it's the 2nd annual All Star Bluegrass Celebration.

[hayouni1968]

hi there, i live in africa where country music ain't appreciated, and it is pretty hard to get hand on cds, or to watch country shows on tv, thanks to you can enjoy much of it. Thanks so much folks

[atavener]

I know what you mean dude. I live in England and there are a few people who appreciate bluegrass but you can't get hold of videos, tv programs or CDs with it on. The internets my only link to bluegrass, apart from my own banjo of course. Thanks youtubers for all these videos!

[hannes2110]

I´m with you, boys. I am from Austria and if you play bluegrass or even listen ti bluegrass, you get strange looks.

[atavener]

I agree I get so much teasing from playing bluegrass. Theres nobody who will play with you either!

[rjs05c]

Wow im From Tennessee Most people love bluegrass here but i didnt know it was even listen to in other countrys

[atavener]

Oh yeh we have a bluegrass group thats about 45 mins away from where I live of about 30 people all playing bluegrass. We love it when an American comes over to play for us. BLUEGRASS RULES!

[coloradobob1]

Another version of "walkin' Shoes"-

The East - West album

 Butterfield Blues Band

[iloveyouemily]

Vince Gill fits in with every type of music. Maybe if I got up to sing with Del McCoury's band they could even make me sound good. Not likely.

[beboobeboo]

that harmony in the chorus is first rate

[ScruggsPicker]

Myyy Walkin' Shoes are gettin' a little tight.
