Moonshine Hollow--Jimmy Martin and Sunny Mountain Boys

[AJWinstead89]

Paul Williams wrote this one. At the time, they were recording in Owen Bradley's now famous "Quonset Hut". The original line was "a quart of mountain liquor" but Mr. Bradley threw a fit & said "You boys can't out that on the radio! You're gonna have to change it before it gets recorded because I'm not putting that out." Thus it became "a quart of mountain mmmhhhmmm". My how things have changed.

I've got an uncle that shines. I got tough one day when I was about 14 and asked him for some of it. He laughed and poured me a glass full. He told me to sip it since I'd never had it before, but like I said, I was feelin tough. I took it all in a couple big gulps. Problem is I was sittin down when I did it. About ten minutes later I stood up...next thing I remember I was waking up in the floor right where I had stood up. It dropped me like a rock. Good ol' Tennessee mountain dew!

[knoxcountykyman]

if you ask for moonshine in kentucky you'll raise eyebrows, and you ain't gonna get any, we don't call it that,its called crick{creek} water,tractor fuel, and other names, but if you ask for shine, you look real suspicious

jimmy martin is the king of bluegrass and pioneer of the great sound and talent of the bluegrass music. I wish i could have see him in person. I came close several times,but never made it even though lester flatt was a cousin and i'm parcial to his music. Jimmy Martin will alway's remain king and a icon of bluegrass music and to the martin family ya'll remain a very talented family of bluegrass lonesome sound, in our hearts. MAY HIS MUSIC RING ON and ON FOR GENERATIONS TO COME !

I know a guy up in the mountains name of O.C. made moonshine in a silver plated still. It was the smoothest shine you ever tasted. Y'all drank a cup and still felt kindly sober, but you couldn't stand but for fallin' down, and couldn't talk for nothin' as you had no control of your tongue. He kept the recipe a secret. The 1st time I tasted it we was about to go onstage at a festival. He give me a shot and I went out and about 3 songs into the set I just stood there with my banjer, couldn't move!

My gran uncle sold some. What I noticed was you would be sweating a lot from both your head and, strangely, your toes, after just a mouthful. Or two.

[cholly853]

My dad was telling me about drinking a quart of shine one of the many times he drank it. He said it went down like water but 10 minutes later he couldn't manage to talk let alone walk. He said he was driving and had to pull over and him and his buddies laid down out on the ground and laughed for a couple hours.

no one can drink a quart of "holly water"

This is such a great song. Reminds me of when I lived and worked up in the rural north Georgia mountains.
