LONESOME RIVER BAND - LONG GONE

[loki768]

Hell yeah! My hometown good ol' boys! Represent Patrick County!

[doc25000]

Good stuff right there!

[05Mandolin]

LRB at there best!

[TruegrassBoy]

I love this hardcore bluegrass - these guys are excellent!

[IAMCoriful]

Jeff was great on mandolin. The one I miss most is Brandon on vocals ..... he was awesome. And as for Sammy, all he needs is a Hatfield banjo .................. he knows I'm only joking. Sammy has warmest spots in my heart!

[plumriveropry]

@IAMCoriful Jeff Midkiff or Jeff Parker?

[ArkansasBanjo23]

top tension banjos have great tone. sammy's was beast.

[Rheems1]

Dan Tyminksi is a great mandolin player, he is just such a talented performer overall!! Thier current Mandolin player (Andy Ball) is really good too, though some people are not as crazy about the new stuff.

[mageesg]

Sammy's shirt and Dan's pants - how come these guys didn't set the world of fashion alight.

[golyg]

Bass player = business in front..party in the rear!

[TheGibsonlover]

IT MAKES ME MAD HOW DAN IS SUCH AN UNDER-RATED MANDOLIN PLAYER!

[finishchick71]

Banjo: Sammy Shelor. Mandolin: Dan Tymynski. Guitar: Tim Austin. Bass & Tenor Vocals: Ronnie Bowman. Tim went on to Doobie Shea records. Dan went to Alison Kraus & the "Foggy Bottom Boys." Ronnie's on to a (hopefully) lucrative country career. Sammy has new members and still tours as LRB. He's the Man.

[grassfire75]

@finishchick71 Dan is doing the tenor

[finishchick71]

if he weren't a staunch republican (and married to a wonderful woman) i'd take sammy to be my own! :0) Third generation, there's no one like him

[dgarrison1]

damn. who's playing banjo here? he's incredible.

[hillsdeville]

was dan a regular member of lonesome river band i thought don rigsby was the founding mandolin player....

[musicianforjesus]

@hillsdeville No Don came after Dan. Dan left in 1994 to join Alison Krauss

[plumriveropry]

@hillsdeville The original mandolin player was Steve Thomas, followed by Jeff Midkiff, Adam Steffey, Dan Tyminski, Darell Webb, Tyminski again, Don Rigsby, Jeff Parker, and then Andy Ball who just quit.  Andy Ball's replacement has yet to be announced.

[no1countryfan]

i recently discovered the expression "mash it up" i think it applys here.

much better i think then "this f***ing kicks a**".

Bluegrass is definatley cool. MORE PLEASE....

[dkewlguy]

If their was a G-Run master other than Del... Tim would be it.

[jrdixon51]

ronnie and dan have the very best blend of bluegrass vocals love it!!!!!!!!!

[ms5strings1]

Love this video....Great musicians.....Love Sammy....

[sclawman]

Tim, do you have any live performances on video of "Highway Paved With Pain"? That's just an amazing tune.

[sclawman]

Tyminski has always been an underrated mandolin player.

[TruegrassBoy]

great song

[sparksfurr]

Crowd Ok...they were probably at some place where the "old folks" tell you, 'No talking while the band is playing" like Lucketts in Virginia LOL

[bluegrassman776]

GREAT OLD STUFF. LOVE IT

[bluegrassman776]

great song play it everyday

[fcmc004]

hey tim thanks for posting this stuff. best bluegrass band ever in my opinion. i know u have alot more videos it would be great if u would post them to. the one show with bubba chandler (my dad) and demphsey young would be great . the lost and found did a few shows also

[choppergrass]

Thanks for sharing these times........awsome......

[dales6868]

What the hell is with the crowd,this is some kick ass grass!..idiots probably want to hear the old shit like stanley brothers...dont get me wrong that was the beginning but this is now...crowd sucked

[banjofive2000]

I agree with you this is some kick ass picking & yeah! the crowd seems dead, BUT if it wasn't for the Stanley brothers shit getting it all started, you wouldn't be hearing this today shit so think about it the Stanley brothers made the foundation for bluegrass music and give everyone else something to improvise from...

So that old shit you talk about, is still some good shit today.

[Mar10Guitar]

He never said the Stanley brothers didn't lay the foundation. He was saying that a lot bluegrass fans always want to hear that old boring sound. And it is an old and boring sound. LRB is the king of hard crackin' grass, times have changed, we never forget, but everyone doesn't want to hear Bill Monroe and his bluegrass boys. If they do they can buy a Skaggs album, that's about all he seems to know these days.

[banjofive2000]

No I think the word he called them was Sh*t . Maybe it's boring to some now because that's what people learned to play from, but still the old music & players paved the way. they learned the hard way, they didn't have youtube or tabs to go by like today they did it the honest way & there way & style.

[banjofive2000]

Anybody this day and time can play now just pick up a book & take the time. We need to give the old music the respect it deserves & also incorperate the new. thats whats wronge people forget where they come from.

[xdawg51]

stanley brothers is more gospel music more than it is bluegrass i know ralph and the rest of the boys pretty well personally and theyre just... getting too old to do anything anymore lol

[bgrassguy17]

wow im surprised... that crowd must have been dead lol cuz there was silence when they finished the song and then a few claps just before the video ended... im surprised cuz all the other LRB vids ive seen the crowd goes crazy after every song haha... this was great... a great lineup too!

[dukeofearlbanjo]

Thanks for posting. This was a great generation of LRB, maybe the greatest!

[chilcootgirl]

Classic and wonderful!!! Thanks Tim!

[BlueBanjoGrass]
