Never was isn't and never will be a better singer in any genre and a wonderful lady. Love her and Marty very much. ❤

That is not true. Buddy may have put in a good word for him but Butch Miles himself said it was Sonny Cohn one of Basie's trumpet players that got him in the Count's band.

Aint Dave just the best frontman

The song is "L'attrait" Merci :)

I had the pleasure of seeing her perform here in Bradenton/Sarasota in the late 80's, early 90's. She had the audience in the palm of her hand the second stepped foot in the room. She entered at the back and jived down the aisle singing and greeting people as she went. Unforgettable !

He was fabulous! He always looked like he was having a ball up there! The Man loved his work!

God bless ! Very special Talent.

I never met Butch but spoke to him on line, not only a world class drummer but also such a fabulous guy. god bless him

Sound on Right side only. Maybe mix it to center?

The melody reminds me of Four Enclosed walls by PIL: Doom sits in gloom in his room

I love the panning out on the photo around the 2:41 mark, revealing a place very familiar to me - Godfrey Daniels at 7 E. Positively 4th St. in Bethlehem, PA, the place where I saw RCRs many times. It’s still there, and many of the folks who went there when it started in the mid 1970s (including me) are still going there.

R.I.P. Butch Miles

He played at the Sydney Opera House with Count Basie In 1978 I had The pleasure of watching that performance, He also performed at a Drum Clinic at The Rocks in Sydney where I met him and got his Autograph, An Awe inspiring Drummer 🥁🔥🥁

And Joe Newberry is a great add.

Glad I was luck enough to see..heard them a couple of times in the mid..late 70s

Love em

A little confused how he could be born in Ironton, Ohio while his mother was visiting relatives in Kentucky. That is quite a woman to be 2 places at one time. This sentence is 48 seconds in.

Rest In Peace great man: what a drummer - thank for making this world a better place, Mr. Butch Miles

This video is sooooo great !!!! REST in PEACE BUTCH !!!!

I love this! Bravo!!!

A true treasure.

One of the greats and underrated in the polls-His talent will stand the test of time!!!

Love it...kind of reminds me of Irish music

I saw Tommy Thompson only once--at his final appearance with the Red Clay Ramblers. He was brilliant, unforgettable.

I remember seeing her when I lived in Atlanta in the early 90's. Saw her at Blind Willie's. She was old at that point but still had a poignant voice and sounded great. I remember my friend at one point looked over at me and said - "This Gold Tooth Nelly sounds incredible!" I'm like - "It's DIAMOND Tooth Mary you idiot!" And that's why the memory sticks out in my head. Good old days

Great stuff, beats the version on the Sunburst EP

Tommy Thompson your man

My favorite banjo player and singer of all time. Love Tommy and love the Red Clay Ramblers.

This is fantastic

He's got fantastic style. One of a kind. A natural.

I was privileged to see him in Fool Moon.

I remember seeing "Diamond" Teeth in club in Miami called Tabacco Road. The oldest blues club in Miami over 70 years old. Sadly it's gone now with a 7-11 in it's place. But I remember Mary driving up in a long white limousine when she got out she was big as life. When she smiled she had diamonds on all if her teeth. The bouncer asked if he could help her and she no I can walk on my own sonny. On the 2nd floor of that tiny club she blow that place out! That was in the 90's and I never forgot her. I had great times in Tabacco Road. Miss those days.

Nice piece of work!

I love this video. Way back in the 90"s, I had the pleasure of helping her shop at a local retail shop. And on the journey, we hit up the electronics dept. She had me put in a cassette and test the display model, and I immediately recognized her. I was so excited. She was such a sweetheart that she gave me that cassette. I still have it to this day. Such a treasured person. Thank you for this video

Thanks for posting these! Was spinning Wonder Wheel and Marina today.

Love Butch . Really knows his rudiments.....

Thanks for posting this! I had the pleasure of seeing the Ramblers once in 1977.

Great song. Drummer is ridiculous. Straight killing it. 💯😎

Thanks to Lew Stern's new and comprehensive biography, Tommy Thompson, New-Timey String Band Musician, I'm seeking videos such as these to learn more. Your descriptive visual and musical vignette were most helpful in better seeing the man, his times and his music. Thank you!

Lovely, thankyou

Nice profile. Glad I saw Tommy with the Ramblers several times, including on the stage in NYC.

Fantastic song. Forever beautiful. Go Sox!

Saw the Red Clay Ramblers first at Williams College where they got snowed in and the played all night and then later in Chapel Hill, NC etc. Tommy was a wordsmith who used music to convey simple truths and human emotions.

damn I love this track!

Ah, miss you, Tommy. Gone way, way too soon.

Finally got my 7-inch single vinyl and have record, cleaned and enhanced both "Shore Leave" and "Out Of Baby's Reach". If you or anyone else would like great sounding copies of them, just private message me.

Amazing! I want to meet her so bad.

first saw them in Chapel Hill in the 70's and have loved them ever since!

The RCR's were a huge influence on me when I first switched from classical violin to fiddle playing. I only ever had one album that I bought at the original town cried cafe in a small town many miles north of NYC. I wore it out completely!! To finally know the back story to this wonderful band and that they're still playing is awesome!!!
