Cool video - the band is really together. They are "Red Hot" on this day !! Those of you who want to play this musioc take note: this is the way it should sound !! This is dynomite !!
@SteveGaines Not true -- in the liner notes to the Bear Family compilation Martin is quoted as saying the song was sent to him. Indeed his "secretary" at the time was named Mary Ann. But he didn't write it about her.
Oh ..Listen when he was sober..He was a walking piece of history...Talking about how he got Bill Monroe to change songs..that with Lester Flatt he had done in G to A...A to B..He made Bill "PUT OUT" on his tenor singing..Jimmy could play mandolin and he told a story of playing mandolin back stage trying out for Bill Monroe and Hank Williams Sr. was listening and said.."HELL, Bill if you don't hire this boy...I''ll buy him a mandolin and let him sing tenor with me"..
Jimmy was a good person coming from where he did and doing what he has done with bluegrass he has done great . He one time ask me who could do Blue Moon Of Kentucky the best him or Bill Monroe I quickly replied...... hell you can Martin...that was my true belief that he can/could
Hey, I wasn't raised on bluegrass but I was on country and I love this stuff, what I would like to know is who came first, George Jones or Jimmy Martin cuz what I am hearing hear is Georges style, so somebody adopted it from the other! - this is my kids youtube by the way!
Obviously you NO TALENTED punk..You never were around Jimmy Martin..His place in Bluegrass Music is secure..But he was a PRICK..anybody that ever dealt with him will tell you that...Anybody that HAS THEIR OWN TOMBSTONE MADE AND PUT UP ABOUT 15 years before they die is well... .When he was DRUNK he was overbearing as Hell...
I've been around JM a time or two and have witnessed first hand of what you speak but I also know a few musicians that worked with him at one time or another and man, could I tell a story or two but I won't. Just try to enjoy the music man and forget about the rest.. Take care
Jimmy would BITCH about everything..He was the most OVERBEARING CUSS who ever lived..The band he had with JD and Paul Williams was one of the BEST EVER...But I have seen Jimmy bitch at a band and when it came time to take the stage HE WOULD SCREW UP..he was something else..
There's a young feller up here in Maine who should hear this good old tune done the right way. He slaughters it every time and I'm sure J.M. rolls in his grave, god bless him, every time the moron sings it....
This is the first time I've seen Tom Adams looking like he was having fun onstage. When he was with JMB he was always too straight and reserved. Glad to see him smile.
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.
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.
we were there. Ancramdale NY Rothvoss Farm no longer hosting festivals...best site/venue in the country.
