Lonesome River Band - Bootleg John

[@vcp430]

Man, Sammy sure is driving the piss out of this tune! This was the glory days of LRB, and Don's vocals and mandolin pickin' are absolutely great!

[@ekgr212]

LRB (with Ronnie Bowman) is my favorite of all time! Jason Davis has a killer version of this song too.

[@plunky123]

LRB did not record this song but Don Rigsby does sing it on the cd "The Stanley Tradition: Tribute to a Bluegrass Legacy".

[@cottontail75]

Is Sammy playin a top tension 12? or top tension of some kind or another? kinda looks like it, can't really tell. He's a big influence on my playin :) Good stuff here!

[@20105024a]

@MrBoris7910 I'd say that Sammy Shelor made out alright lol

[@banjoRod]

I enjoyed this one,can't remember hearing that song before. Did they ever record it?
Great video work,btw.

[@Rheems1]

Okay, I recognize Sammy Shelor on Banjo and Ronnie Bowman on the bass... I know the mandolin player isn't Dan Tyminski and it doesn't look like Tim Austin on guitar (though he plays like him)... who are the mandolin player and the guitar player??

[@deecee2837]

Don Rigsby

[@MrBoris7910]

of course not:-)
