Johnson Mountain Boys - Duncan and Brady

[TierodMcslush]

sounds so good...

[tayman1519]

What a moustache.

[tubemagpie]

First heard this song on my first LP....Leadbelly

[drmoutebank]

WSM's Eddie Stubbs the fiddle...the living encyclopedia of country music.

[drafthorselover]

Tom Adams is one of my favorite banjo pickers. He picks clean and fast. Hope someday his hand heals to play three finger style again.

[letwinke]

Love Tom and his Goldstar GF-100W!!!

[OhNoyate]

Very almost perfect. A certain brand of mountain figgle never shows personality. We let the picking do the speaking.

[MadMadMountainLad]

You can tell hes wearing the same moustache today. Just look at how much its faded. Time to replace the ole stache Dudley!

[KarenHlly]

I would comment...but my feet aren't on the ground...and they won't be for quite awhile.

[FoxRunMan]

Fantastic!

[bazthehandyman]

They are awesome....first saw them in UK must be 25 years ago.

[2quattro8]

awesome...thanks for posting

[nasty5oh]

Nice

[brownie134]

the banjo rift at 1:30 is siiickkkk. no tabs for it ANYWHERE!!!

[stanleypicker]

just curious as to what you mean....the whole break? the break starts a second or two after 1:30.......Mr. Adams is a fine banjo player indeed!!!

[222tipton]

Tom tabbed his break in the April 2003 issue of Banjo Newsletter. You can order back issues from them - pretty inexpensive. He tabbed the break from their CD, but this clip is pretty close. Hope that helps.

[border1000]

It don't get no better than this. Love It!!!!!!

Damn

[RosyB9]

Great GREAT band!!! Especially love Dudley's voice, Eddy's fiddle and Dave McLaughlin's mandolin. Local boys too (DC/Nova).

[tunderbomber]

I shouldn't be watching this. I play the mandolin and face reality after watching this guy.

Thanx fr posting still.

[dogsee1]

hell son i am sure you are good too..do you like shemales??

[mb26155]

Can anyone give me any info on this song? Who wrote it,who has done it,Good stuff.Thanks for any help.

[bulbheadmyass]

I first heard this song circa 1963 by Tom Rush. It might have come ffrom Leadbelly.

[brownie134]

Dave Van Ronk

[bulbheadmyass]

Thanks, brownie. I've heard Dave Van Ronk's version and he does an awesome job on it. Totally diff from this version.

[2nahavemercy]

Not to stir up trouble, but the first time i heard this was on a Smithsonian Archive of classic Negro music...

Its a traditional Folk Song, just not sure which "folk" it originated with ha!

[Mar10Guitar]

boo-yow! Dudley is the man

[riverbelle81]

They were definitely one of the better "newer" Bluegrass acts. I flippin' LOVE Eddie Stubbs.

[HillbillyJ]

Yeah man, Eddie Stubbs is the MAN!

[border1000]

you got that right. He's a very nice man also.

[Flatbanjo92]

WOW ...i think that Tom Adams was a very under rated banjo player!

[paulb113]

THATS MY DAD!! LOVE YOU! -Emily and Paul

[fiddleplayer9]

who's your dad?

[450Masher]

This was surely one bad ass band. I loved this one. 5 stars!!!!

[LoneWolfPete]

Always loved the Johnson Mountain Boys. In my opinion they were one of the best bluegrass bands ever. As for the tune "Duncan and Brady" I give them two thumbs up!

[resopicker]

Awesome!

[TruegrassBoy]

Would have been better with Richard Ynderwood standing there, but still 5 star. FYI, if you liked this video, check out: "The Out Of Town Boys"!

[MandoMohan]

Just gotta love this band. This is a great quality vid. Thanks so much.

[MISTYMOMMY1]

I love Dudley Connell's voice and love it best with the JM Boys! Any chance you have a GOOD video with good sound quality like this one of: Get Down on Your Knees and Pray? or I've Fouind a Hiding Place? There are a couple out there in YouTube land, but the sound quality isn't good. THANKS FOR YOUR EFFORTS TO POST the wonderful ones you already have!

[fhegner656]

Great Blue Grass music just the best

[8aPeach2]

They were the best live bluegrass band I ever saw....period!

[cjbaker38]

Believe it or not this great band stopped everything 5000 people just listened in awe when these boys started playing.

[CRbreakinstrings]

wow!!! lovin it!!

[stefejo]

Sure do miss seeing these guys live, they were the best!!!

[450Masher]

What happened to Tom Adams???

[sav1028]

Tom continues to make his home in Adams County, Pennsylvania (Gettysburg area). Unfortunately his banjo playing has suffered due to his struggle with focal hand dystonia, a neurological disease for which there is currently no cure. I've met Tom and jammed with him several times during my time in Gettysburg, he's a class act.

[scruggs0610]

Great clip... so sad to think that Tom Adams can't play the banjo at all these days.

[Chapstickman4321]

Looks Like My Dad Dude!!!!

[ags4th]

....these fellows were mighty tight pickers

[whipsnade13]

Wow, what a great band! "Blue Diamond" is my favorite release by the JMB. Great stuff.

[5picking]

I have seen these guys twice here in England, and they were simply AWESOME. Thier gospel numbers like " Daniel Prayed " are just superb.

Great memories guys.

[MandoMohan]

I'll add to the praise. What a great band.

Let The Whole Talk is a an album that stands out among the best in modern bluegrass.

Thanks for posting

[go1braves]

wow wow wow !!!!!! thanks for this!!!!

[5strRJB]

JMB was the most exciting group I ever saw !! Power in everything they did.

[tonehunter]

One of my favorite groups that ever played!

[jlhymer]

i think mr tyminski,carter stanley,tony rice1980,lester flatt,ricky wasson,ernie thacker,ricky skaggs would have something to say about that

[derby45]

the best bluegrass singer in the world dudley connell.

[Mar10Guitar]

Yes, that is a hard one to argue! Dudley is absolutely one of the best! On their version of the Blue Yodel #3, he sings the breaks off that, better than Monroe ever thought of sounding, with all respect to the Father of Bluegrass.

[benwitt1]

@derby45 well maybe.....next to Bill Monroe
