Amen!! They were born just down the road from where my girlfriend was born in Wise County, VA. They truly are one of the greatest bluegrass bands ever.

this is truly great!

Such wonderfully relaxed and effortless singing, from Jim McReynolds especially. I saw them many times at bluegrass festivals. Sure miss 'em.

Yeah, they called us Cottontops down in Mississippi, cause the lint got into our hair, hence the name cottontops. But my childhood was wonderful, given my grandparents and parents cotton mill status, and the old whistle that used to blow three times a day, at 3PM, 11PM, and 7AM. And as a child I was rocked to sleep by the rhythm of those distant looms, like a lullaby, cutting through the still hot nights of that wonderful time, and place. A time when the evil days had not taken familiar faces.

Say what you will about Jim and Jesse's other songs. Cotton Mill Man is their signature song. No one else will ever equal it.

When i was a kid my grandfather,granmother and my uncle work in the cottonmill..in my home town...all three died young from a disease caused by working in the collecting room where tiny fibers were always in the air...their lungs developed a type of cancer from the constant breathing in of the fibers..I watched the cottonmill burn to the ground when i was 5 years old...the company never built it back...my folks died years later...the night it burned, it looked like daytime at night...

Jim's voice is so penetrating...I can't hear Jesse's voice in the background!
