Cool video - the band is really together. They are "Red Hot" on this day !! Those of you who want to play this musioc take note: this is the way it should sound !! This is dynomite !!
According to Geoff Stelling on May 22, 2008, "I believe the banjo was a 1979 Bellflower, walnut, 3 piece neck, that was sent to or delivered by me to Jimmy when Shannon Mays was playing banjo for him." Tom Adams followed Shannon Mays in the succession of banjo players who worked for Martin.
This is the first time I've seen Tom Adams looking like he was having fun onstage. When he was with JMB he was always too straight and reserved. Glad to see him smile.
Jimmy Martin - lead vocal, guitar; Charlie Cline - bass vocal, fiddle; Audie Blaylock - tenor vocal, mandolin; Tom Adams - baritone vocal, banjo; Brad Hudson - bass. Jimmy had an endorsement with the Stelling banjo company, so Tom is playing Jimmy Martin's Stelling rather than his 1981 Gold Star.
Oh ..Listen when he was sober..He was a walking piece of history...Talking about how he got Bill Monroe to change songs..that with Lester Flatt he had done in G to A...A to B..He made Bill "PUT OUT" on his tenor singing..Jimmy could play mandolin and he told a story of playing mandolin back stage trying out for Bill Monroe and Hank Williams Sr. was listening and said.."HELL, Bill if you don't hire this boy...I''ll buy him a mandolin and let him sing tenor with me"..
Try to get everybody on board in a jam session to the fact that he changes the chord progression on the 2nd verse. He holds onto the 1 chord longer before he goes to the 4
Hey, I wasn't raised on bluegrass but I was on country and I love this stuff, what I would like to know is who came first, George Jones or Jimmy Martin cuz what I am hearing hear is Georges style, so somebody adopted it from the other! - this is my kids youtube by the way!
@SteveGaines Not true -- in the liner notes to the Bear Family compilation Martin is quoted as saying the song was sent to him. Indeed his "secretary" at the time was named Mary Ann. But he didn't write it about her.
+eric5906 Jimmy was from rural East Tennessee, a region that supported the Union during the Civil War, and several of his band members at this concert were from Northern states. Thanks, though.
That's not correct,No where in East tenn.supported the Northern agressors.They wouldn't have lived very long if they did.Only a Damn Yankee would say that.Long live the South!!

Jimmy Martin lives on. There will never be another Free Born Man.

Jimmy was first but I think George just was in the same vein, he was his own original. Both legends and ornery when drankin’ ;-)
no thats my aunt, ray is my dad.
"Drink Cokes and behave yourself!" Legend.
A trick: watch movies on Flixzone. Been using them for watching loads of movies lately.
@Brett Carson yup, I've been watching on flixzone for since november myself :)
@Brett Carson Definitely, I've been watching on Flixzone for since december myself :)
@Brett Carson Definitely, I've been using flixzone for months myself :D
My name is Mary Ann
Martin wrote it about the woman who LIVED with him..
The fiddle starting at 1:40 sound pretty sick. Later in the video he's much better.
He was playing harmony to the mandolin break. Sounds fine to me!

God bless the South. God bless the CSA.

See: 'War At Every Door' or read about the East Tennessee Union regiments......that is, if you CAN read...
Not a good recording...these are all brill musicians and this si real Bluegrass
JMB were much tighter than this.
Lonesome River Band did it better.
+Billy Hicks You're kidding right?
+Billy Hicks - Tasteless comment. Ignored.
+BlindTom61 He probably listens to drums and electric basses, too. Let the dead bury the dead, bro.
Lonesome river band could not sound anywhere near as good as Jimmy. You do know he was the king don't you?
Lonesome river band couldn't pack Jimmy's jock strap. Much less, sing the songs that he wrote.
