This is so much better than the popular music these days. No fancy stage videos, no auto-tune, no booming ear-piercing instruments, just pure talent and beautiful harmonies. How music should be.
Yeah! And the camera isn't flitting around from scene to scene before your eyes even have time to focus!!! Or, someone is doing a solo and the camera is showing the lights or someone playing rhythm! LOL!
the only Country music that i listen to is the older Country music I dont think that I really know any countty singers from this Century alll my music iis from the 1990's & older
The fellow in the middle was Jesse's son who passed from MS. I got to meet them all and helped his son load up the bus after the gig. Truly incredibly nice, real people...Keith was 44 when he passed... RIP Keith and Jim... :(
I love Jim & Jesse my cousins from Carfax, Virginia.....your posts are right on they were super nice and they have more talent than they were giving credit for...
Actually...many players can hold a candle to Jesse in my opinion, on the mandolin, but Just like Earl Scruggs, there will never be anything but imitators in the style which Jesse invented. He was one of a kind, and invented the mandolin style known as crosspicking style. Great singer too!
My ex-husband used to play banjo with them in the late 1960s & even played the Grand Ole Opry with them when he was a teenager. Thanks to him, I love these fellahs & Bluegrass. Much obliged, Kenny
my mother use to sing this song,she played the guitar and she sung great, she could of made a living as a performer. this brings back many memories ,thanks for the post
beboobeboo has no clue what he's talking about. J&J are awesome and besides this clip is from 1976..... they were cool then and this music is absolutely classic. Thanks for sharing
Ashes of love cold as ice you made the debt I'll pay the price Our love is gone there's no doubt ashes of love the flames burned out The love light that gleam in your eyes has gone out to my surprise We said goodbye my heart bled I can't revive your love is dead Ashes of love cold as ice I trusted dear our love would stand your every wish was my command My heart tells me I must forget I loved you then I love you yet Ashes of love cold as ice Ashes of love cold as ice
I think Jim & Jesse McReynolds were the best non-black influenced Bluegrass Band Ever! Now, dont get me wrong ...I love the music of Bill Monroe for many reasons not the least being that he put the blues music of the South into his hard driving more modern Sound, but Jim and Jesse managed to skip the blues and still be great, with the power of white gospel, I reckon. OK..I have said my piece, Ill shut up now.

Lovely song and great singers very entertaining gentlemen Thanks. ❤❤❤
This is true country bluegrass music! The music nowadays is NOT country, no matter what anyone says.
AMEN TO THAT!!! IT'S A DESTROYING OF COUNTRY MUSIC. IT'S EMBARRASSING

I'm so sorry to hear this, but it answers a question I have had about who he is (was), Sad story, but didn't he harmonize beautifully?
R.I.P.
Jim McReynolds
Jesse McReynolds
They are good musicians,unfortunately they are gone,God bless them.
That, ladies and gentlemen, is music!
Wish the very start of this wasn't cut off. That mandolin kick-off is the best part.
Super nice people, and unbelievably talented.
Jesse wrote the book on bluegrass mandolin, and the group is a national treasure.
I love Buck Owens version of the song this is my first time hearing Jim and Jesse sing it I like this version too
I just love the smooth as silk tenor from Jim McReynolds

Nobody can hold a candle to Jesse for playing mandolin.
That's a good point! I really can't say I've ever heard ANYONE but Jesse cross-pick a mandolin... Has anyone else?

Garland Shuping on banjo and Joe Meadows plays fiddle.
I love them. I wish people would sing like them more.

I am glad I got to meet jim before he passed away. they are very nice and I met them several times. Great band.
Just great music great to hear..
Great guys keep up the good work
I know Johnny & Jack came out with this first but this is the best rendition. Love Jim & Jesse.

they r tje best I ever heard their voices r awsome !
So sad these days are over. Only Kentucky thunder can come close.
Love their rendition 🎼🎤🎶🎶🎶🎶🎸
I love this song!!!!!
RIP Jesse McReynolds
Just Fantastic
Their concert in Boulder in the early 70's was hands-down one of the two or three best BG performances I've ever seen.
I just love Jesse's style of "cross-picking" and "string-splitting" mandolin licks. No one does it quite like him.
beboobeboo has no clue what he's talking about. J&J are awesome and besides this clip is from 1976..... they were cool then and this music is absolutely classic. Thanks for sharing
1976 the year i graduated high school and I’m 66.5 now
Great old Johnny and Jack tune. All that's missing is Shot Jackson and his Dobro.
They're the best
RIP Ida
These guys were the greatest. Smokin' mandolin intro by Jesse.
Tapping feet here ...
RIP Keith ; Happy Birthday Jesse
you said it great just the best..
This is great just great 5*******.the best..
Great bluegrass tune...johnny and jack.anglin..jim.and jesse.sounds great on mando.r
That's some good pickin'!
Magic
Smokin' Hot! That is some harmony!! Thanks for the upload!
Jesse's mandolin break is like something from Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier Bk 1
Ashes of love cold as ice you made the debt I'll pay the price
Our love is gone there's no doubt ashes of love the flames burned out
The love light that gleam in your eyes has gone out to my surprise
We said goodbye my heart bled I can't revive your love is dead
Ashes of love cold as ice
I trusted dear our love would stand your every wish was my command
My heart tells me I must forget I loved you then I love you yet
Ashes of love cold as ice
Ashes of love cold as ice
Been there, done that! ;)
❤️❤️
Listen to Desert Rose Band version as well...
Just great!
It's Jesse's son Keith McReynolds.
Unfortunately Keith had multiple sclerosis, Jesse and his wife lost him on Feb 2, 2000. He was only 44 years old.
True... :(. I'm just reading through the posts and saw this... RIP Keith and Jim.

LETS DANCE

Is that Tater Tate on the fiddle?
Joe Meadows
the guy playing fiddle looks like Johnny Paycheck, but that can't be, can it?
George Guttler No, I believe that's Joe Meadows.
+George Guttler yes it does
I saw Joe Meadows playing with Walter Hensley in Baltimore back in 79'. Twin fiddles along with Jon Glick. Those guys were smoking !!!
