Daddy loved bluegrass and played mandolin. He really loved the GREAT bluegrass artists, and he played along with the Osborne Bros. album. Thank you for this performance. You made my heart smile!
I was fortunate that my Dad and Uncles were bluegrass fans. We started going to festivals in the early 70’s when all the greats were still alive and performing. We saw them all. Sad that they are leaving us one by one.
@jimbond1430: I'm glad you have that memory. All I know about the brothers is from Rhonda Vincent's "Legends" Blu-ray. Bobby was quiet most of the time, while Sonny talked profusely. BTW, I guess you know that Sonny sold his most-prized banjo to Aaron McDaris so that it would be played, rather than let Smithsonian Institute put it behind glass. November 28, 2016 Aaron played on The Voice on TV because they put out a call for "the best banjo player" for one scheduled song. In January that year I recorded snippets of a local RV concert and afterward Aaron took a picture of me with Rhonda, then I had my picture made with Aaron. Now I wish I had added those photos to the end of the video I posted here: th-cam.com/video/8lK6IWMFGZk/w-d-xo.html
I saw these guys at the first bluegrass festival near Norman Oklahoma in 1967 when i was eight years old. My parents were huge Bob Wills fans. I'll never forget sitting under the trees in lawn chairs having BBQ and listening to them.
@chrishedlund3196: You probably are referring to his playing skill instead of a specific banjo, but the banjo he played on most of their hit recordings in the '60s is now owned by Aaron McDaris, in Rhonda Vincent's band The Rage. The Smithsonian requested that he donate it for display, but Sonny did not want it to die in a museum, so he sold it to Aaron for $150,000.00. Aaron played for a contestant on the TV show "The Voice" (his name came up when they needed an expert player for the contestant's song) but I have not had the opportunity to ask him whether he played Sonny's banjo then. I am 83, with two back problems, so Taco Bell is about the only place I see outside my house. The last time I spoke with Aaron was about 10 months before he played on The Voice. You can view glimpses of that event near my home by watching the video I made of it. Click on this: th-cam.com/video/8lK6IWMFGZk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=DSWrxTR5lDJSB3Ma
We went to see the Osborne brothers at an outdoor venue and it got rained out. We went back behind the stage and found their bus and Bobby visited with us, signed autograph and sat on the bus steps and played us some songs. Put on a show for 4 of us.
In 1979 these two brothers gave a 14 yr old boy his dream, to play bluegrass banjo with his favorite group in Wis. Bobby n Sonny Ill always be greatfull to you. i may not have ever met and played with all the talent i have if not for you guys. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
No group or duo has ever been able to harmonize as well or as beautifully as the wonderful Osborne Brothers. They are in a class by themselves. I grew up on their music. Always a treat to listen to.
The best harmony in the world are The Osborne Brothers, I love this, its my all time favorite song, I play it over and over. This gives me cold chills, love you guys, (Maxine Brown)
Listening to this starts my day. The Osborne Brothers harmony is best in the world. The Browns were always in awe of them. I still am, I listen intently and hang onto every word. Love you Buck & Sonny. You gave the world the best bluebrass harmony ever. (Maxine Brown)
I can remember back in the 60s & 70s, THESE GUYS WERE ABSOLUTE ROCK STARS!!! Bobby Osborne's voice is RIDICULOUS & AMAZING ALL AT THE SAME TIME!!! My dad loved The Osborne Brothers...my mom still has a few of their albums & still listens to them...she says that they bring back GREAT MEMORIES of her & my dad. I sure do miss my dad. Much love from Mobile Alabama. M
I've only been to Kentucky once when I was 12 back in the 70's & we drove ther from Oklahoma, when we visited my uncle & aunt in Owensboro. It's a beautiful state.
I remember well singing Grandpa Jones singing at the Grand Ole Opry back in 1977, when my parents were so gracious to bring my Brother and I here. I love this kind of music. Best Wishes LittleCountryDJ
Love all kinds of music, heavy metal, 50's, 60's, 70's rock & roll, easy listening, country, 40's big band, folk, ect. Blue grass is probably my favorite type of music.. love blue grass gospel is also very good..
Loved their music for years. Not only are they great singers, they are great people. Many years ago my mother worked with Bobby. They also have a nephew (Dean Osborne) who has a bluegrass band and he is pretty good also. A few years ago Dean's wife's grandmother passed away, a lady I had known my entire life, and at the funeral home my mother was talking to Dean about her working with Bobby years ago, and Dean invited her and my dad and me to the annual Bluegrass singing they have in Hyden, and gave us tickets to it. When we arrived, Dean picked us up in a golf cart and showed us the buses of some of the singers there, if I remember correctly, I believe there was Ralph Stanley, J.D. Crowe just to name a couple. Dean took us backstage so my mom could meet up with Bobby again. That was a VERY good day, a day I know I'll never forget, and I'm sure my mom and dad will never forget it either. Every one of those singers we met were the warmest, friendliest down to earth people you'll ever meet.
I can never get enough of this wonderful harmony. I was lucky enough to be back stage the night this was filmed. I think they did it just for me, they knew I loved this song, loved everything they ever did, but this one gives me goose bumps. Thanks Buck & Sony, no one can ever come close to this. (Maxine Brown)
Nobody better than the Osborne Brothers in Bluegrass music. I SHOULD KNOW, I'M A KENTUCKY BORN AND RAISED BLUEGRASS SINGER!!! FOLLOWED THEM SINCE CHILDHOOD. at the annual Homecoming concert for years, just beautiful harmonies!
This is my grandfather’s favorite song! He lost his wife about a month and a half ago. Bless his soul, he’s still alive, but he gets lonely over there... 😕
So beautiful! Kentucky reminds me of my own sweet home, Oklahoma, with 'gentle' rain. So beautiful. Grand Pa came out of south central Kentucky and, a wagon ride away came Grand Ma from north central Tennessee.
One of their most beautiful renditions...Glen Duncan simply shines on the fiddle! Terry Eldridge, vocals and guitar; the late Gene Wooten on dobro; Raymond Huffmaster seated with guitar; Terry Smith on the upright bass, and of course the finest brother duet (in my humble opinion) to grace the Opry stage: Sonny and Bobby Osborne. I was there that night...what a fun time and wonderful memory. Thnaks for sharing this great video!!
That is extraordinary. Totally original American music. These guys could have played in any town or village in the world and would have connected. It's music beyond language. Priceless.
if you were watching the cma awards, let me assure you, YOU WERE IN COUNTRY MUSIC HELL but thank god i see you escaped,!! i would almost rather listen to rap holy crap. country music went to hell in a handbag and bluegrass and good OLE time country is getting harder to find. i'm storing cd's, tapes, and vinyl instead of food, cloths, guns, and amo. of course if you feel the need, i guess it would hurt to stock them all. ha! ha! i'm old so i guess i'll make it but heaven help you younger fans.
Country music was killed off about 2007. They mixed rap and rock into it and it was DOA. But there are still some groups and artist left that are country and Bluegrass. They killed off great music that I love. Sad.
Today is Joe's birthday,, I just got done playing his favorite song, it's Kentucky by Bobby and Sonny and all the group!! I planted the tree of life on mother's day this year, I'll love him forever and I know that he will do the same,,,
@Katragew You're welcome! After Bobby went solo, I heard him on the Grand Ole Opry and his voice broke twice. I was afraid he had lost his voice, but then he recorded a duet with Rhonda Vincent, "Midnight Angel", and his voice is true, he punches every syllable, and I love it! If you haven't heard it, you should download it from Amazon for 99 cents. The clip catches a little of the harmony, but doesn't get to Bobby's solo verse. The Rhonda Vincent album is "All American Bluegrass Girl".
None better. I just love this song and, always, it must be these two that sing it. Their harmony is the best - this is harmony. Their band is also great.
My late Dad Loved Bluegrass, especially the Osborne Bros. We share the same last name, Also have a connection to Dayton Ohio. My wheelhouse of music has always been 80s Rock/Metal. I remembered hearing them as a kid but never understood how incredible They are. This Video touched Me, WOW!!!!!!
I saw bobby osborne and the rocky top express today at meadowgreen in clay city kentucky, sung happy birthday to him, hes turning 83, and he sung kentucky, it was pretty.
Thank you Nana. Karl Davis wrote the song, and recorded it with Hartford Taylor in January 1941 for the Columbia label. It has since been recorded many times, by bluegrass and country singers, including the Louvin Brothers and Everly Brothers. Because of the songs beauty and popularity, Karl Davis was made a Kentucky Colonel in 1970. (Based on Charles Wolfes Kentucky Country: Folk and Country Music of Kentucky, University Press of Kentucky, 1982, p. 56)
thank you for this post. The one thing my late father and I shared was the love of bluegrass, especially the Osborne Brothers. My father got to jam with them many years ago and I just loved their vocal harmonization. We had the priviledge of seeing them in person many times. Thank you for the very fond memories.
People , groups , and music like this is what made The Grand Ole Opry one of the greatest in the world , just like The people , things of God , and great founders ( not kings or dictators ) made America one of the greatest !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Ernest E.

I’m not from Kentucky and neither was Stepdad who I dearly miss really loved him. He loved listening to you both and loved your music and by the way his name was George Osborne and we are from New York about 45 miles north of the city.
Harmony to the MAX!! I first heard this song by an instrumental by Chet Atkins. Since then, I always wanted to know the words.....MY!!! I received that received TONIGHT!! Oh YEAH!! Beautiful!! Oh MY!!
i met the osborne brothers once during a show, there was a big difference between their attitudes at that time. I dont want to say which one acted in what way due to respect for all the great music they have done, But one was all smiles, handshakes and talked to each fan like long lost friends, The other came across like he could careless, was in a rush and didnt want to speak to fans. i ll let you guys guess which one is which. lol
ClassicRockfan79 No matter who it was, and I can guess, you don’t know what was going on for him that day. One of them is a lot more vocal than the other ( and likes to tease) and not always in a nice way, but you’d never in a million years catch the “unfriendly” one saying anything unkind. On an audio only performance from DC, the “friendly one” said about their 3rd part singer who had only been with them for a few months that he hoped he would improve. Then added that was unfair, but you cannot “unsay” something like that. It was horrible. I was embarrassed for the 3rd part singer and this is 30 odd years later. Give me a closed mouth any day of the week over that..... Also, I’ve read other things about how both of them are great guys so it may well have been a very bad day for the one who “couldn’t have cared less.” Too, with all the fans and admirers they spoke to in all their years of performing, there were bound to be some bad days in there-for both of them. They were away from home sometimes 200 nights out of the year. Don’t know where I read that...
I like most all of their songs. No music I'd rather listen to while gardening working or just kickin back by a fire in the summertime! Awesome group! Beautiful music!

Pure Americana! This kind of sweet heavenly harmonies drew millions from around the globe to come here..
Amazing performance of this, stunning vocals and a great band. I love how they hold notes for extra time.
One of the best things I have ever seen or heard in my whole life. Precious harmonies and that fiddle is top notch. I am floored. ♥
I use to tell people," if you aint never heard the Osborne brothers sing Kentucky, youve been deprived & neglected", and its still true.
Love me some Kentucky in the spring with meadows, pastures greening and the redbuds blooming .....
Really makes me miss my dad. Proud of my Kentucky roots.
Same. I'm just glad I still have this state to call home.
