- Metal / rock fans check out Earl Scruggs "Foggy Mountain Breakdown" while checking out some absolutely deadly "legal moonshine" (yes we know that's a contradiction in terms) by Midnight Moon.
I love the version of this with Earl, Steve, Vince Gill, Marty Stuart, and more! Highly recommend due to the other instruments including the fiddles, keyboard, harmonica, etc!
.... and Steve Martin and Leon Russell and the list goes on! ♥️
Yessss , the one with Vince Gil is awesome
Love that one with Vince and Marty!!!
Yes!!!
And a lot more energy!
My grandfather used to be in the band with Lester Flatts and Earl Scruggs, before they became Flatt and Scruggs. He played with them twice at the Grand Ole Opry. Grandpa played the fiddle and upright base. He also played with Chet Atkins and Lefty Frizzell, but only in back porch settings, and all before they got famous. Great reaction.
Whoa. That is super cool! - Keith
@@BourbonCountryReacts James, my Grandfather, passed in the late 80's. The family preacher told this story at his funeral. "One day, Lester, Earl, Lefty and Chet sat in James' living room and said, James, we want you to come to Nashville with us for a year. If we can't make it by then, we can come back home". Grandpa said, ""The Chattahoochee river (Our local river in Alabama) don't run through Nashville, and I ain't getting that far a way from the river". Not his best of decisions. Him and Earl corresponded by letter for the rest of his life.
I know this all sounds improbable and fantastic, but these are the stories of my childhood.
What a cool story.
Wow, he rubbed elbows with legends I am impressed. He must have been really good.
@@janesharp4341He was. He could play almost every stringed instrument and a harmonica. But the two he excelled at was the Fiddle and Base (guitar and upright). He did play once on the Grand Ole Opry with Lester and Earl when their base player was sick for about two months and they asked Grandad to fill in while he recovered. As a result, the Opry offered him a job with the house band playing base, which he declined. He played once more on the Opry with them years later, but I don't know the circumstances that led to that one.
Junior Johnson was an Nascar Driver who got his start by running moonshine in the south, in May of 2007, he team up with Piedmont Distillery out of Madison North Carolina to introduce the company Midnight Moon Moonshine he died on, 12-20-19 at 88 he is a six time Winston Cup Champion as a owner with Cale Yarborough ( 1976, 1977, 1978) & Darrel Waltrip ( 1981,1982, 1985, ) he was know as the Last American Hero.
Very high chance my uncle ran shine with all of them. - Keith
@@BourbonCountryReacts probably, I didn't want to come across as a Nascar nerd
Met Mr. Johnson at Talladega years ago . He was one of the nice men I had ever met . Just so down to earth and humble. A true American Legend
Earl is more than a legend. He revolutionized the way the instrument is played. You may want to look at him with Bill Monroe, who was essentially the inventor of bluegrass, and his band. For the record, I agree about the Vince Gill recommendation as well.
Yeah you really need to do the video version with Vince Gill, Steve Martin, Marty Stuart and so many more!! There’s so many different riffs, from Marty on mandolin, Steve on banjo, Vince on acoustic. I think there’s a dobro too. ♥️🎶🎶🎶
If it's the one I am thinking of, Jerry Douglas is on dobro. Earl's sons play acoustic guitar and harmonica. Paul Schaeffer is playing piano and is all smiles.
@@lindaharris1892 Yes you are. I couldn’t remember Paul Schaeffer’s name! Thanks.
Fyi, John McEuen (Nitty Gritty Dirt Band) gave Steve Martin Banjo Lessons. Stephanie Warrix is absolutely right. The video with Earl Scruggs, his two sons, Marty Stewart, Vince Gill, Steve Martin, Leon Russell and Paul Shaffer is absolutely the best. Vince Gill slays the guitar solo
That story is so true . Junior Johnson is a legend .. did his time running shine , time behind bars , then years behind the wheel on a track. This was truly a finger pickin good time.
Some wicked right-hand action in this song. - Keith
The look on your faces when you eat the berry lol. Wonderful song.
So good was Earl, he invented the 3 finger picking style so common today. Earl was the best and cleanest sounding banjo player ever. PS: Earl was a bit arthritic later in life. Listen to his early stuff when he wailed on the banjo. Earls' breakdown, Reuben, Flint Hill Special, Salty Dog Blues, etc. It's a sight to see.
"ORANGE BLOSSOMS SPECIAL" CHARLIE DANIELS BAND, this is one of them to ,you won't be disappointed NEXT,"COPPERHEAD ROAD" song, might contain to this moonshine story
I second Copperhead road!
I'd love to react to copperhead road, but, it wouldn't be a reaction. Dustin and I both know the song well. Hell, that was the song my wife chose for me to come out in our wedding. She says it fits my mindset or something. - Keith
My parents used to do bluegrass festivals all over Indiana, I've seen them all do this song. Hearing Raymond Fairchild (may he rest in peace) hollar from the stage for me to pass out flyers for his festival in NC while playing this song. I just went back to age 9. Keith you picked a great video.
Steve Martin is a very talented banjo player and musician. I have seen his music show and it was so much fun to watch.
I had no idea until I saw this vid some years ago. - Keith
When bluegrass is slow, it'll rip your heart out and stomp that sucker flat, but when it's fast, hang on tight and enjoy the ride. I had a cousin in a band and every time they'd play, people would start hollering for them to do "Rocky Top" and "Foggy Mountain", they'd always tell them they'd do both at the end of their set because it wore them flat out!!!!
Love the song, love this rendition, awesome song, awesome reaction.
Thanks!
There's also a live performance of Hank Williams Jr playing this on a banjo.
Back before his accident, when he was clean shaven and had blonde hair.
Earl and Lester Flatt sang the theme to The Beverly Hillbillies. Steve Martin has won the IBMA banjo player or the year
I loved the chaotic energy of this video all the way through!!! This is the type of music I grew up with! There is a group out of Colorado Springs CO called The Flying W Wranglers. I don't know how much of their music is on YT, but they are an active cattle ranch that has a band and puts on a chuck wagon supper and show. I had two of their CDs growing up that I legit listened to over 1,000 times. I had a portable cd player, the kind you had to walk very smoothly to keep from skipping, and I listened to those cds from the moment I woke up, to the moment I went to bed for about 2 years! Here is a vote for "They Call The Wind Mariah"
I'm a little jealous of that blackberry shine. I'm going to have to find me some.
BE WARNED: It is dangerous! - Keith
You need to find the You Tube with Earl Scruggs with Friends. It also has Steve Martin, Paul Schaeffer, and others. So many instruments.
A midnight moon float with vanilla ice cream sounds good.Maybe a blackberry purple passion.I remember seeing this clip live too.Youd like Steves banjo playing overall too.
That sounds delicious
That does sound dangerously tasty. - Keith
If you have ever been to a bluegrass festival, you will hear this song at least ten times through out the night. This is what they are judged on if they are competing.
Bahaha! This is awesome,,heard this a million times by many artists,,but sharing some moonshine with you guys while doing it was ott!
Oh wow! I hadn't seen this version, love it, thank you for this reaction!! If you haven't tried it yet, please try some Tennessee Mountain Dew moonshine.
We'll look for it. - Keith
Welcome to bluegrass boys. Great stuff
May I please get a short live of the two of you of about 20 minutes after this one....those blackberries hit hard😂😂
Yes, yes they did. - Keith
I remember as a kid watching Steve Martin doing his stand up comedy show on either HBO or Showtime and him playing that banjo
Dude can play for sure. - Keith
You are correct! Junior Johnson was an early nascar driver and also did time for running shine.
Oh my, this is the best!! Love the videos guys!
I bought some of this moonshine. Excited for it to arrive! Thanks for the review. Although, the full Earl Scruggs and Friends has more energy. And who or what is a pappy that was shot?
Guys that was so much fun, thank you for doing what you do here. Its always entertaining. Smiles
Everyone don't forget to hit like.
Thanks for watching!
@BourbonCountryReacts ... I ran across this video again today. If you can keep count to the end of the song you will notice a slightly faster tempo the last time around.
I have been with bluegrass players jamming and there was always that "leader" who would ramp this tune up the last time around to see who could keep up. After they finished the tune, they would look around and start laughing. The guy(s) that had to drop out because they couldn't keep up would eventually start laughing as well.
I first saw Lester Flatts and Earl Scruggs on The Beverly Hillbillies TV show.
I got to play one of earls banjos. A wealthy bondsman I’m Friends with has one of his banjos. And a banjo player I’m not but just to hold that thing is crazy. It’s extremely heavy from the inlays tho
Check out a group called Riders in the Sky. Ranger Doug, Too Slim, and another guy, I don’t recall his name. Ranger Doug is known for yodeling!
And, you both started turning red, awesome.
Berries hit like a truck. - Keith
Hey guys! I see that others have left the same comment that I'm about to. Here's one that I think you'll appreciate. Earl Scruggs And Friends - Foggy Mountain Breakdown. This is also on the David Letterman show. A lot of stars on this one.
I've seen that. Its an incredible performance. - Keith
@@BourbonCountryReacts Amen to that!
Junior Johnson, yeah that is one of the moonshiners that became a legend in NASCAR. So its likely your your uncle ran that. Junior was from Wilkes County, NC, and yeah that family reciep did send him to jail, and eventually led to a presidential pardon (by Reagan).
Wow had to look it up and they make it with every fruit imaginable as well as dill pickles!
Scruggs & Flatts played the theme from the Beverly HillBillys.
Y'all are helping save this music. Thanx.
One Glassy Eye at a Time.
Boys, ya never eat the fruit in shine...and now you know why. I laughed so hard at the reaction I knew was coming. Keep up the reactions, they are great and very informative.
That jar reminds me of moonshine. I need to get my hands on some moonshine! That stuff will burn you all the way down. I live near Franklin County VA
Wow I knew Steve Martin played the banjo but didn't know he could play like that
Hard to play that fast, that hard, that long. Good video!
Great reaction. I'm still laughing.
Junior Johnson is a NASCAR legend as driver and car owner
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junior_Johnson#:~:text=(June%2028%2C%201931%20%E2%80%93%20December,Cale%20Yarborough%20and%20Darrell%20Waltrip.
My husband always soaked maraschino cherries in real moonshine. He called it cherry bonbs.
Earl Scruggs and Lester Flatt did the theme song for The Beverly Hillbillies.
You guys are hilarious
Howdy from N.E. Indiana
Do the Earl Scruggs and friends version. Has Vince Gill in it
I ennjoyed that as much as you guys did!
Thank you! - Keith
What a surprise! Enjoyed very much!
Thank you. - Keith
And they stopped paying attention when Earl started playing.
I live in the same state as you guys
Junior Johnson was indeed one of the moonshiners, did serve jail time, and is in the NASCAR hall of fame.
I bought some moonshine cherrys, now I'm afraid to eat one. HA HA
You need to listen to Cal Smith - Lord knows I'm drinking.
Earl scruggs is epic so is lester flatt and yes Roy clark did it
awesome music! when I was living in NC some friends had some shine with fruit in the bottom ..I warned another friend to pass on the fruit...she made a huge mistake and ate a few pieces..I told her the alcohol absorbs in the fruit..that shit will tear you up it can take your breath away for a while..she was busy huging the toilet awhile
Okay boys so where do we send 911 when you two severely impair yourselves on alcohol soaked berries??? 🤣🤣 I'm proud to live in the Piedmont of NC, on the edge of the Blue Ridge, and Lord do they know how to make the 'shine down here. My son does not care for alcohol, but there's something about NC moonshine that makes it easy to drink on a river bank, by a fire while night fishing, like you said, it's dangerous, you don't taste the alcohol, he and his buddies tend to wake up sometime the next morning...not quite clear on why they're sleeping on the river bank, or where the fishing poles are... Please don't get yourselves dead, or puke purple in the front yard, I enjoy watching you guys far too much and would really miss the joy you afford me! And yes Steve Martin is a kickass banjo player, I've seen him play with Earl Scruggs a number of times over the years and he never disappoints. Keith I've also seen Brad Paisley do the Foggy Mountain breakdown on guitar and it's awesome, you'd love it.
@Kathryn Mitchell, I’m somewhat close to you. I’m in Northeast Georgia. My Grandma was born in Loving , Ga . and our family cemetery is in Morganton, you should know where that is and when we go up there yesss a North Carolina Moonshine is an essential part of the visit lol
Carolina boys (both carolinas) know how to make shine pretty darned well in my experience. But the best always seems to come from anywhere in the Appalachian range from New York to Arkansas. - Keith
@@reneeholcomb205 Love GA, frequently go down Savannah and various area's to lakes and RV'ing in the past, not so much in last few years. We have family in Lake Norman, NC and Charleston, SC so lots of Vaca's in GA as its common ground, many good memories!! I'm originally from TX, been in NC for 23 years now and love this area, will never leave NC.
I'm 62 years old and I had 2 gallons of pink peach moonshine I let it set for 2 years And when I cracked it open it was like drinking a peach no liquor taste at all Oh by the way I'm from West Virginia Logan County I went to school with the hatfields and mccoys
Oooh might enjoy dueling banjos. That Midnight Moon seems all kinda shiny.
Dangerous. The word is dangerous. - Keith
Earl Scruggs was also an awesome guitar player!
Not sure I've heard him play guitar. - Keith
Well this was a lovely way to wake up this morning I laughed until I hurt. And that's a good version of Steve Martin with Earl Scruggs doing foggy mountain breakdown there is actually a better one it is a jam session with some of the best musicians in the world sitting around in a circle doing the foggy mountain breakdown the way it was meant to be played. And you're right it is litmus test for banjo. Great reaction guys I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Thanks!
If you want to hear more of Steve Martin playing, and singing, check out Steve Martin & The Steep Canyon Rangers.
I think both of you would be laughing at "Atheists Don't Have".
Oh hell just eat one of the black berries 😂😂
Berries hit hard. - Keith
@@BourbonCountryReacts haha
Thank you , North Carolina friend for the request. You are awesome!!! Keith , yes we want to see you drunk lol . I have some homemade Apple Pie and peach cobbler moonshine, but it’s real moonshine lol
I dunno nuffin' 'bout no real shine. - Keith
@@BourbonCountryReacts I bet you don’t
🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Y'all need to do the other version with Vince gill etc...it's much better!!
WHY IS THE screen with the players SO DAM SMALL????????? UGH-!!
If you want to watch the original video, just go watch the original video instead of griping here. - Keith
chew your shine!!! lol
It's um... potent. - Keith
lol, dangerous its called Smooth
Would love to see you react to all 13 of these videos "13 Of The Greatest And Most Famous Country Guitar Players Of All Time" especially the Glen Campbell video. Brent Mason is awesome as well.
ooo, that sounds interesting. I think, with it being 13 songs, it'd require a lot of editing, and still be an hour+. - Keith
@@BourbonCountryReacts It is very interesting! Yea it would be long to do them all together. Each video can stand alone though. Brent Mason is amazing. He is one of the top session guitarists of all time. He was mentored by Chet Atkins. That video itself is 18 minutes long. You can get a Fender Brent Mason Telecaster Electric Guitar for about $3000 🎸😁. Anyway, even if you don't do reactions to them they are great to watch and the blurbs with each one are interesting.
The Chet Atkins video is a bit underwhelming. I think they could have chosen a better one to showcase his talent.
You shoulda pulled up earl on grand ole opry w Travis tritt
Theme to Bonnie and Clyde
A lot of people don't realize Steve Martin is multi-time bluegrass entertainer of the year award winner.
Look up the other flavors too.The apple pie would pair well with the twix bars.
Apple pie pairs well with a lot of things. - Keith
so this comes under the saying it makes for pretty puke in the snow?
It definitely has that potential. - Keith
lol. The fruit holds the alcohol.
That is what we call pickin and grinnin. Love me some Earl Scruggs he was one of the greatest bango players
Dude's a master. - Keith
@@BourbonCountryReacts amen Keith. I did not know Steve Martin could play like that. Awesome choice of video
FUNNY😅😂
Who is pappy and when/where did u shoot him ? Wait.. my husband says what happens on moonshine stays there!
Fun facts that you might not know, but it's not about music! Jerry Lewis and Sammy Davis Jr was 2 of the fastest draws with pistols in their lifetime! You can find videos on CZcams of them!
My bar for that is high. Because reasons. - Keith
Haha.. garbage ass moonshine... y’all will get it
What - - - No fiddle ?
Can you please react to would anyone care
🤣🤣
Great song. Always loved Earl and Scruggs doing their cameos performing on the Beverly Hillbillies. They are legendary. They actually did the theme song to the show.🎵🙌
Yep, seen a lot of folks perform it. - Keith
Great song.... not so great alcohol
Better than you think, Phil. Like, surprisingly good. Dangerously good. - Keith
Steve Martin is a much better banjo picker than he is an actor.
