Ralph Stanley.

Jimmy Martin is my all time favorite......he was at his Best when he came off the stage and just "Hung Out" with the crowd.

Just too funny.

I sure miss Jimmy Martin and Curly Ray Cline.

[LisaD61275]

I wish they still had festivals like this,especially in OR or ID...I miss listenin to this like when I was a kid...

[FloridaSon68]

Makes me want to grab my guitar, a bottle of wine and hop a train to anywhere lol!

[fngrpkn06]

Awesome!

[FlyingTiger64]

Tom Adams is as strong a banjo player as ever played with Jimmy Martin, including Crowe.

[RainbowMoon76]

I mean, the song before '76, NOT they! My apologies!

[RainbowMoon76]

I heard this song for the first time today, trying to search for country music. I got to get this as soon as I can! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-HAW!!!

I love this song TOOOOOOOTALLY!!!! Take me back to times before these! Even if it may have came out before my time ( did they come out before '76?)

[circushead]

Hey, did you know that Jimmy Martin is referenced in the new novel, "The Privileges", by Jonathan Dee? Not in a big way. A wealthy kid in New York with an interest in banjo playing comes across 'You Don't Know Mind', loves it, and it essentially causes him to drop out of his Rock 'n Roll cover band because the other guys don't like it.

Anyway, ashamed to say I'd never heard Jimmy Martin's music before. I knew Bill Monroe and Gid Tanner, but not this guy. Now I'm hooked.

[TheBadmeister]

@circushead what was old is new again, glad you found one of my favorite artists, check out Bill Monroe's album from 1973 Bean Blossom

[JLJable]

[TruegrassBoy]

[meanlezbo]

lord, lord.......i AIN'T never heeerd any better than jimmy...lord, lord.........

[EricUhland]

I attended the very first festival in 1976 at Merrilea Farms in upstate NY. I remember that hill so well! And I remember the lemonade stand ... and the chicken people! Dang! That was great BBQ!

In 1979 and ’80 I was on the volunteer security team. In 1981 and ’82 I was the crew chief for the security team.

One of my favorite things about being on security was the authority I had to linger around backstage; I got to chat with Ricky, Jerry, Jim and Jesse, Bill Monroe, et al.

Boy, what memories!

[gurlsings2]

does anyone know what happened to Bobby Rich who used to play in Jimmys band ?

[mountaintyme2000]

I miss Jimmy Martin. The guy lived and breathed bluegrass.

[SuperDaveWWB]

Tom Adams fronting Mike Cleveland and Flamekeeper, Audie Blalock band name Redline, very successful today.

[16BrookeAnne]

[canyondogh]

No pre-packaged plastic with Jimmy's music . . . The Man . . .

[teeteeboi]

Does anyone have the show where Jimmy plays Brakeman's Blues with Marty Stuart and he blows out his pipes on the last yodel?

[WrathOfImagination]

Did jimmy martin invent the martin guitar??

[TruegrassBoy]

Nope - he was just born with one in his hands. Go Jimmy!

[DevinMiller72]

The King!

[tuttle572]

It is always good to see anything with Jimmy Martin. Thanks.

[rafsamjami]

According to Geoff Stelling on May 22, 2008, "I believe the banjo was a 1979 Bellflower, walnut, 3 piece neck, that was sent to or delivered by me to Jimmy when Shannon Mays was playing banjo for him." Tom Adams followed Shannon Mays in the succession of banjo players who worked for Martin,

[2002banjo]

Sorry for the confusion. That Stelling is kicking and taking the Tom Adams abuse well.

[Flatbanjo92]

just wondering......what do u mean by "Tom Adams Abuse"?

[nonmax15]

Lot of idiot people at this place if there were all those empty seats man. The King. I'd have been glued to mine.

[rafsamjami]

Jimmy Martin - lead vocal, guitar; Charlie Cline - bass vocal, fiddle; Audie Blaylock - tenor vocal, mandolin; Tom Adams - baritone vocal, banjo; Brad Hudson - bass. Jimmy had an endorsement with the Stelling banjo company, so Tom is playing Jimmy Martin's Stelling rather than his 1981 Gold Star.

[2002banjo]

Thats was Tom Adams 1977 Stelling Bellflower. Jimmy had no endorsment with Stelling Banjos he just liked them the best.

[banjobilly32]

One of my all time favorites by the King of Bluegrass!! Thanks for posting. Is that Tom Adams on banjo?
