heres the timestamps: Jessie James - 0:00 Old Hickory - 2:08 Seeing Nellie Home - 3:53 John Henry Blues - 6:06 Red Wing - 8:49 Old Joe Clark - 11:37 Walking Cane - 13:16 Big Ben - 15:16 Banjo Boy chimes - 16:50 Lost Indian - 18:36 Billy In The Low Ground - 21:01 Cumberland Gap - 22:56
This band used to frequent outdoor bluegrass festivals in central Florida in the 70's...camp for 3 days, music 24/7...cant remember most of it, but I do remember t was a good time :)
I've had the album for years and messed around (on banjo) with a bunch of the tunes, but never really tried figuring out John Henry Blues. After listening to it again tonight (after years of not having heard it), it sounds like the banjo is tuned GCFBbEb (from 5th string to 1st). It works out pretty well in this tuning (you can hear the strings' harmonics at the end which gives away the tuning). Sonny was a really creative banjo player (though I have heard that medical problems have prevented him from playing much these days).
yep I hate that damn drum which somebody thought would make bluegrass appeal to the Nashville country music fans. Bobby plays that mandolin almost like a typewriter but note his use of syncopation. Bobby's underrated as a mandolinist. So who's the second banjo picker or is Sonny playing both parts?

The drums are one of my favorite instruments but come on how I agree with these guys in the earlier comments I'm also an avid bluegrass fan and drums definitely don't belong in bluegrass music at all it definitely takes away from the music in a big way which is not ok at all!!!!!
ebergeron The original lp I bought didn't have that damn drum. I wore out the album and the replacement came with the added percussion. This version is also on the Bear Family boxed set. Phooey!
Every original bluegrass band recorded with drums at some point, and the drums are doing nothing that the mando and bass weren't already doing. I've never understood this attitude at all.

Yeah, I'm not so sure about those timestamps in the description.
Lengths.
Those aren't timestamps. That's how long each song last.
John Henry Blues the best, hands down

Peter Schwimmer I'm 75 yrs old bought the album in 1967. best bluegrass ever. still listen 2 it all the time.
HPNomad Lost Indian

If it's got drums, it ain't bluegrass.
For me drums and bluegrass do not mix and the constant drumming here doesn't cut it.

Joshua Caleb Overwhelms sound. It’s loud here. There’s also a religious thing some people used to object to.
drums kill it, lost interest...
The drum sucks!
