I used to go to Galax VA and listen to all these boys when I was a kid. This is God's hillbilly music. God's bless them all🙏
Gold Audio. So healthy for the soul. They are gone but their Music will live FOREVER ❤
Damn good driving music. I was born in 1987. damn shame my generation don't know what music is.SAN ANTONIO TEXAS
thank you so much for this post.
last week, the best trucker in the world passed away. my uncle kenny. at his funeral, the bluegrass band, wayne turnage & fair river station, played this song. it means lots to me.
I love this version of this song. It's exactly the way I hear it whenever I hear anyone else sing it.
A song about a song, but the song in the song is the song they are singing currently. Man I love bluegrass.
Jim & Jesse and The Virginia Boys,
Saw them many times , Great People
I really miss Timmy Ellis banjo playing.
Sounds that brings back memories after 50 years I guess it makes me one
That mandolin solo absolutely rocks - and of course he was one of the first to play cross-picking I seem to recall?
Pretty sure he invented it. Note the crappy camera man's focus on the right hand when the left hand was just as complex and interesting!
Jesse played Mandoline on the Groundspeed record Charlotte Waltz that we did in 1989 in Nashville. He was so great and still he is !
man this song give's me goosebumbs really awesome love it
Jim died December 31, 2002, and Jesse is still very much alive and performing. I got to meet Jesse at Podunk in 2008 where he had a great performance.
Jim and Jesse are both now deceased Jesse passed on June 24th 2023 RIP to them both
Man that sounds like the mountains
That's how it's supposed to be done!
Wowza!!!!!!!! Gorgeous
@VeterusTV, Yeah Jesse has a unique style of mandolin playing. One of the first to cross-pick on the mandolin for sure. Doc was cross-picking guitar but on mandolin Jesse was the first person I heard playing those rolls.
Sooooooo GOOD!
Hey, these guys are good! I must confess, I had never heard of them before! (And my music knowledge goes back quite a ways!)
Thanks for uploading all of those precious videos!! Jim & Jesse are the best!
Awesome wish you could post Blazin'Smokestack and This Sleeper Cab is my Home.Gotta love these old truckin' tunes.All those lyrics I've lived(owner/op 13years)and have true special meaning to me for a profession that is dear to me.
名曲中の名曲!
A++ 5 Stars Thanks!
dangum that is some good mando
The Virginia Boys!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Excellent job guys!!!!!!!!!!
Good song
I believe Jim is still alive (and touring!) but Jesse passed away in 2002.
No, that's actually just the reverse. Jim, the taller fellow with the higher voice playing the guitar died of cancer. Jesse (mandolin / lead vocals) is still alive and he's 92 this year (2021). I'm not sure if he's still playing but he was within the past few years...
Wonderful - fabulous - delightful!
Just one thing - JESSE plays mandolin, JIM plays guitar!!!
D'oh!
Absolutely goddam right. Your brother can make the solo. Mine did.
the best
For I'm a truck drivin man.
♥
Nice
Are both of these guys still alive ? I love there music. White mans soul music
Somehow this reminds me of Green Day's Dominated Love Slave...
Reminds me of The Toxic Avenger
Mitt Romney on guitar.
You Tube used to let us download videos but now it doesn't seem to. About all I can think of is pointing a camcorder at the video while it plays. Several artists reproduced this tune including the Jay Guiles band but the best version is by Ricky Nelson. Can anyone find that one?
i put a nickle in da jukebox and played the truckdrivin man
pour me another cupacoffee
Johnny Paycheck on the fiddle
No back in the day the juke took nickels and dimes,not quarters
you could put in a quarter and play 6 songs
You got your description a little messed up. That's Jesse on mandolin, and Jim on guitar
Who's the dude on the banjo?
nice cover, but wish I could find original from 1954
@MOLLYryaiMOON And mine as well the best..
That is Buck Owens song!
awesome. nrps also did a nice boozy version of this.
commander codys version
isnt it "QUATER" ( american coin ) in the judkebox?
Unless you're in Maine and it's a quatah
