Pick Along! -03- Jim Mills: the Hide Head Blues

From Jim Mills' third album, "The Hide Head Blues."
- Jim Mills: banjo
- Adam Steffey: mandolin
- Stuart Duncan: clawhammer banjo intro, violin/fiddle
- Barry Bales: bass
- Dan Tyminski: guitar

Jim rips one off in the studio with Adam, Stuart, Dan in the house! Using one of his original five-string flatheads, the RB-4 that Snuffey Jenkins once owned, he recorded the song to get it back into the Bluegrass scene. . .and boy does he do a fine job! I hope that those who listen to this will start playing it again at the jam sessions, too, because it seems to have fallen into decline among pickers. Tell me what you think of the song, and be sure to purchase the CD from Sugar Hill or Jim Mills!

Thanks. . .though I don't think my vid is worth only three stars. I'm glad you're welcome.

@teakbridge101 I'm a jazz musican!! Bluegrass is jazz, just without the chord and metre changes. Improv of the highest importance!!

@bigmrclean ain;'t that the truth. Jim is my favorite banjer picker. he is just solid and picks it like he means it.

Oh yeah......Jim ripped this one! I absolutely love how he's stuck with the traditional scruggs stuff..Not many people stickin' with it these days. I know I sure will! Jim could pull tone out of a broom stick..and a dang nice guy on top of it!
