Still have not been moved more than by the ole LRB! the mojo was right with this talent..thank you for the indoor concerts, campground experiences.... the years of LRB are a treasured memory!
Sammy's banjo playing is the "spotlight" when it comes to LRB! His driving right hand makes them sound the way they do. Members have come and gone but that driving right hand remains! Awesome stuff ...
Oh. My. Gosh. So far above the heads of the sheep in the audience, they don't even know what they're seeing/hearing. I miss this band, it will NEVER be the same.
tchappellf5 I love Alison Krause, but I’ll never forgive her for busting up this band and relegating Timinsky to the position of harmony singer and rhythm guitar player. That’s like turning a great chef into a dishwasher.
Tim Thanks for posting the nine videos on your site. They are all high quality and a joy to watch. This line-up was one of my favorite configurations of LRB. Thanks again!
Craig Korth's 1942 Gibson original 5 string top tension flathead banjo in the early 1970's. The banjo was owned by Sonny Osborne and Sammy Shelor from the Lonesome River Band. This video was taken backstage at The Fretboard Journal 5th Anniversary party in November 2010 in Seattle.
Listen to the lead vocal on the chorus, its clearly Ronnie! If you don't beleive it, check out 1:35 when Dan stops singing a hair earlier than Ronnie, and you can still hear the lead. That means that Dan is switching to tenor on the chorus, which is common for tenor singers when they sing lead in bluegrass. When Don Rigsby sang with this group later on, he did the same thing.
Sorry about leaving the wrong time in the vid. It's 1:35. Also, at about 1:59-2:00, Ronnie stops singing, but you can still hear the tenor. Once again, logic would indicate that this means that Dan, having the highest voice anyway and singing tenor in almost every other band he's ever been in, is switching from lead (melody) on the verse to tenor (3rd above) on the chorus. Seriously, listen to their voices. It's obvious that it's Ron is singing lead on the chorus.
We bluegrass lover's needs these guys back together for one more year but I doubt it ever happens Sammy is the only one still in the lonesome river band now days
Singing lead means singing the melody, at least to me. Dan is still singing the melody during the chorus. But there's a harmony above the melody, and Ronnie is singing that. The lead (= melody) is not defined as being the highest note in the chord made up by the harmonies, although it often is. The melody is what you would remove last if you had to cut down on harmony vocalists - it's the musical "story" of a song.
TheBibleWitness, nobody's calling anybody an idiot here. I must admit I honestly thought we agreed on which notes they were singing, and disagreed what those voices were called. I now realized that it was the other way around - and that I was wrong about who sings lead in the chorus. And thus we are now in full agreement.
Dude, I've been singing since I was knee high to a grasshopper, I know what singing "lead" means. I know Dan and Ronnie's voices, I know how bluegrass harmony works, and I know how this band arranges their vocals. Go back to 1:05 in the vid. The "tenor" stops, but the lead comes going. Look at their mouths, it's Dan who stop singing first. Therefore, logic tells me that Dan must be singing tenor on the chorus.
Ok, you seem to think I'm an idiot so let me spell this out. In bluegrass harmony, the tenor sings a 3rd above and the baritone sings a 5th below. In this case, they are in A. So, if the lead sings an A, the tenor sings a C# and the bari an E. Sometimes, someone will sing a 3rd below if the lead singer's voice is to high to tenor. The Osborne Bros started that. Sometimes this is called "low tenor," but this isn't right, though, because tenor is a classical term meaning the highest male voice.
“I even took the liberty of gassin up your car”. That’s as good as “don’t forget to bend your knees, when you pick up the box of your stuff I put out on the porch”.
Singing lead does not mean singing the highest note. 1:05 is an instrumental solo, no singing there - you must mean a different spot? The tenor in bluegrass is the highest harmony, but is not the lead/melody. Ronnie sings a third above Dan in the chorus, making Ronnie the tenor and Dan the lead.
The best bluegrass band in America. Bowman & Dan . Sammy, Austin

Tim Austin's rhythm guitar playing is just phenomenal. Blows me away. The best version of this band! I miss Tim's guitar in the mix nowadays.
I like this group but also when Don Rigsby was with them aswell
The best of ALL incarnations of the LRB. Ronnie Bowman is an understated superstar in my book.

You sure about the date this looks like it would be in the 90s

Don Rigsby is great

Fantastic Bluegrass!
@HillbillyJ You're right dude, Dan is cutting the tenor and nailing it.

I wish people realized how good Dan tyminski played in bluegrass and he just doesn't show it when he is with Alison Krauss
