![The New South Live [1975] - J.D. Crowe & The New South](/img/n.gif)
J.D.Crowe's New South one of the best bands I ever heard (and I heard a lot I can tell you, have been listening bluegrass for some 55 years). Outstanding traditional sound, especially Ricky Wasson, great voice, plays guitar bluegrass style the right way. A 10 for this great band.
What about Del McCoury? I've always found them amazing to watch too...
@@julestburt You are right, I admire the McCoury's. Del McCoury, one of bluegrass greats and his sons terrific good musicians, with Jason Carter and his bluesy bluegrass fiddle , just great.
There have been several truly outstanding groups headed by an outstanding 5 string banjo but I truly have to admit Mr. JD Crowe headed the one very best! Thank you JD and this world misses the very best of the best: very likable Mr. JD Crowe…rest in The Lord, JD!
What a great opener. Brilliant band
JD is so missed, JD is fascinating to watch and to listen to. There will never be another JD.never .
That's what I have said one of my favorite Bango picker and bartone singer
Outstanding performance.
The very best Crowe lineup! Very talented!!
I agree! Great band!
I always loved this version of the new south! But this is by far the best " Live " show of this band I ever heard. Lots of talent.
I`ve listened to so many albums and studied JD`s style for the last 35 years ... I feel as though I know him personally , he is truly the best ... thanks for posting
Dwight McCall is just showing off with that tenor voice.
Thanks for posting, Charles.... I attended many of the Festival of Bluegrass festivals...loved those that were at Masterson Station Park. J.D. has never had a bad group...but, I do love lead voice of Ricky Wasson and Dwight McCall's no slouch on that tenor singin' either :)
WOW...these guys have talent. Glad they are they still playing on tape after 17 years
great vocals, and goes without saying, beautiful banjo work.
this is one of the best new south groups since the 1975 band. that was one good band!! thank for post, ken t
Wow I was needing my bluegrass fix and I sure got it. Dang their good❤️
The finest ever, JD Crowe and his guys!
After watching and listening this video i now better understand why J.D. is often mentioned the Earl Scruggs 2.0
Besides the shaking instruments and vocals, special 2 thumbs up for the marvelous sound engenering. Thnx y'all !
I grew up knowing that aspiring bluegrass banjo players would learn "Scruggs" style, and once they had the hang of it, it was time to introduce the "Crowe" method. I don't play banjo, but several superstars that came up through the New South all said they learned the same thing: timing. J.D. discovered banjo sitting on the floor cross-legged watching Earl Scruggs on stage.
Another Moon Howlin' Set ! . . Tnx So Much !
Sad christmas with J. D. gone. RIP ole boy.
Great music singing all are great some are gone Jd Crowe on Bango great barratone singer to all these group,s
This is really good, thanks for posting.
I thank God for blessing the family of blue grass
Well done to you and your Ma. This is fab.
Brother Johnny will love this album
Fantastic country bluegrass music thanks for sharing :))
One of the best there ever was
jd great love this
Yes sir good music 🎶🎵
Sharing that one mic is an entertaining style--- the audience loves it--especially the harmonies, and it makes for great photos. But one night I saw JD perform with Dwight at the Birchmere in Alexandria, VA, and Dwight had a TERRIBLE cold; even so, the show was GREAT. All I could think of was that in 2 days, poor JD would be sick--REALLY sick--with Dwight's cold. Couldn't they have asked the Birchmere to set up two mics for just that night?
The choice of one, two, or twelve mics has been the choice of the band, as opposed to the venue, since about 1968. JDC&TNS are known for a lot of things, and one is awesome sound. Rickey Wasson was largely responsible for the the audio setup in this era. The single mic allows the vocalists to hear each other with precision, and this band has MOUNTAINS of precision.
Dammn! These guys were good.
Damn good all Y’all!
❤
😂😢
It looks like JD recruited this lineup from a meeting of Overeaters Anonymous.
thanks for posting,great stuff
Nice vocal harmonies
Yes do pretty good
Thanks for posting this.....GREAT!
Dang, I was gettin into Lefty'ss Old Guitar when it just ended :(
Get out! I'm from Middletown Ohio. Guess there's a reason they call it Middle-tucky!

If I did this I’d feel like Dennis Hale while he was on a liferaft! But I guess once you learn the sounds of the attacks, it’d be ok, but I’d be dying quicker than you can say methuselah!
I recognize Ricky Wasson (g) and JD. Who are the others? Hint -- that's NOT Skaggs!
Skaggs as you have never seen him before!
Anyone know the instrumental they play at 20.50 ??????
Nashville Skyline Rag, sold this week to Universal. Yup. Bob Dylan wrote it, and a young guitar player by the name of Charlie Daniels played on the original cut.

@@CharlesCornettFL thanks for the info
@@CharlesCornettFL that would be Norman Blake on the original cut.
@@oldtimetinfoilhatwearer while both Norman and Charlie Daniels played all over the album, I believe I'm correct that on Nashville Skyline Rag that CD played guitar, and Norman Blake played the resophonic guitar. Hard to finding a definitive list though.
I was so glad to hear Ledbetter had gone into remission from the Big C. Eat yer heart out J Douglas.
My band partner, Wayne Harris (no slouch on banjo himself) never liked J D's playing. Why? Who
knows? I was in the USAF in 1956. First song I ever heard J D play was Sophronie with Jimmy Martin
Is that the same dobro player,that he has now,if it is he has lost weight.
@@CharlesCornettFL thanks Charles I appreciate that information from you I saw a video where they were alittle bit older,and JD came out of retirement to do a show.
I beg your pardon?
?

JD, If it means anything, 1951 was when I was born. The very first song I ever heard picked on a banjo was when I was in First grade, called Oh Suzanna, o don't you cry for me, cause I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee!!
Any idea what make and model banjo JD is playing?
A banjo expert will chime in (they can't help it), but I believe that J.D. played Gibson Granadas nearly exclusively, though I remember him having a Frank Neat or two.
This one is the pre-war RB-75 world renowned as “Banger”. Later in life JD purchased 9584-1 granada. There were 5 banjos in that 9584-x series JD ended up with 9584-1, Sonny Osborne owned 9584-2. 9584-3 was the Granada used by Earl Scruggs on almost any flat and Scruggs recording you’ll hear today. 9584-4 was a top tension tenor banjo I believe, and 9584-5 is, or was, in North Carolina.
