The Old Hen -12- Jim Mills: The Hide Head Blues

[Priyeshnarayanan]

Simply love this song!!! I dream of doing a crazy, authentic, american, classical square dance with a special girl... on this song... until we fall down tired on the floor.. :))..

[gitdperson]

love it :D :D :D :D :D :D

[drafthorselover]

One thing about Jim Mills is that his rhythm is rock solid and he picks very clean which is so important to making a banjo's sound the best. I just wish i had the bucks to buy one of his pre war Gibson's.

[allendupras]

can we just have everything before 0:21 loop one hundred times over!!!! :D

[teakbridge101]

@allendupras I am not sure what you mean.

[allendupras]

@teakbridge101 i just really like the intro :P haha

[LStoneB]

Now that's some pickin'. Leftover Salmon lifted this tune for their song 'Ask The Fish'.

[LStoneB]

great song. Leftover Salmon lifted this melody for their song 'Ask The Fish'.

[vcp430]

Nice job, Matt! I love Jim's version as much as you do! Great chicken pictures, since it sets the right feeling for the tune.

[DiableryOfficial]

chocobo music! :P

[VWingTMA]

@DiableryOfficial

[Robin18us]

You mean Jim Mills makes the banjo Cluck! LOL. He's one of my favorites.

[teakbridge101]

@Robin18us He sure does! I love the little choke he adds in the B part.

[kiaathecat]

[SamwiseOfYell]

10 grand! Congrats, dude! :D

[pappyjoe]

Great arrangement...Jim Mills makes the banjo talk

[teakbridge101]

Well said.

[Bluegrassgopher]

I second that! He's cluckin' alright (-:

[OneFifthNative]

I'd like to mention the fact that Jim Mills plays a Steve Huber (jim Mills model) quite a lot as he keeps his old ones in a safe or something.

[vanessaja123]

G'day mate, just want to let u know im from Australia n live in the bush but as you might guess the banjo doesn't really get a mention over here so i hav been searching around youtube for some good banjo tunes coz i love the sound n this one aint bad. Thanks mate, cheerz from Oz.

[collierscourt]

I've read all the comments and just wanted to chime in. I'm a Kentucky boy and we like to think we know a thing or two about picking the 5 string around here. I've been playing for a couple of years now, and Jim Mills is of course one of my heroes. You just can't pick it much sweeter than he can, and I look forward to more and more from him. Thanks for posting!

[kambotta]
