He may have been tough...tough life breeds tough men. The man served one master, his music...look through his anthology ... at one point or another the best bluegrass masters played FOR him... other than the great Earl Scruggs, the man was the master of one of the defining features of bluegrass.... perfection in timing. I asked him at a festival (learning banjo at the time) what was the most important thing to practice..timing son, work on timing.

JImmy was one of the original Opry talents, but he was in it when it was the
Ryman auditorium, back in the day with Minnie Pearl, Moon Mulican, Johnny Cash, Kitty Wells, Johnny Mathis(country), Archie Campbell(before heehaw)- I always his music on my Starday records, and now with youtube I can see what he looks like.

The King of Bluegrass - then and forever. There won't be another one like him. He didn't become king because some publicity agent or record label made him one. He's the king because he earned the title. He did what he had to do, worked hard at it, and did it the best he could. And his best was more than enough.
RIP, Jimmy Martin. We won't see your kind again.

Jimmy was too much of an outlaw or independent for the Opry. Just like the case of Hank Williams Sr. and Johnny Cash...the opry didn't know what it missed by not inducting Jimmy Martin.
