This is the Del McCoury Band at the absolute height of their powers, in a live performance at Central Alabama Music Park, Jemison, Ala., in 1986.

Del's brother and bass player Jerry does a nice backing vocal on this bluegrass gospel number.

The performance was originally aired on a show called "Alabama Jubilee" on Alabama Public Television. I discovered it while going through a stack of 20-year-old VHS Hi-Fi tapes I made back in the day.

  • Check out Old Crow Medicine Show...they got some good tunes

  • I have this by doyle lawson& quick silver they r good on it to

  • Good brother harmonies. Not too many good bands out there playing this great trad stuff anymore except The Out of Town Boys and 1946. They both got some good videos y'all ought to check out.

  • It does fly! I watched his break a couple of times it was good but just a little tentative? -- maybe not -- but he had not yet developed his really distinctive style yet. Still it was interesting. Today in my mind he is one of the best -- very innovative and powerful mandolin work. Great singer too just like the old man.

  • You're right -- it's Ronnie, at about age 20!

    How time flies, eh?

  • Answering my own question! SMILE

    I watched again I think thats Ronnie -- man he was young then! (so was I once).

  • Outstanding performance! It doesn't get any better. I should know this but who was on mandolin. Thanks for posting!

  • Guess I missed it I saw Silvius when he was with Joe Val he might have been a little heavier. Thanks
