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.

I met a liitle girl in Knoxville, a town we all know well And every Sunday evening, out in her home, I'd dwell We went to take an evening walk about a mile from town I picked a stick up off the ground and knocked that fair girl down She fell down on her bended knees, for mercy she did cry "Oh Willy dear, don't kill me here, I'm unprepared to die" She never spoke another word, I only beat her more Until the ground around me within her blood did flow I took her by her golden curls and I drug her round and around Throwing her into the river that flows through Knoxville town Go down, go down, you Knoxville girl with the dark and rolling eyes Go down, go down, you Knoxville girl, you can never be my bride I started back to Knoxville, got there about midnight My mother, she was worried and woke up in a fright Saying "dear son, what have you done to bloody your clothes so?" I told my anxious mother I was bleeding at my nose I called for me a candle to light myself to bed I called for me a handkerchief to bind my aching head Rolled and tumbled the whole night through, as troubles was for me Like flames of hell around my bed and in my eyes could see They carried me down to Knoxville and put me in a cell My friends all tried to get me out but none could go my bail I'm here to waste my life away down in this dirty old jail Because I murdered that Knoxville girl, the girl I loved so well

I usually like the author's performance of their song the best. I love John Prine. I have a hunch that he loved this cover as much as I do.

this reminds me of 2 other songs from the 70s but not by Bobbie Gentry, both had to do with murder - one was 'Knoxville Girl' and one was 'Hang Down Your Head Tom Dooley'

Both men, but particularly Jesse had more talent in one hand than anyone popular in music today.

Much praise from Nashville. Most of the newer crowd couldn't hold a candle to you boys. Great harmony and so technically proficient.

I’m from Nashville, Music City, The Home of Country Music they say….this is the real deal , straight from the heart, technically brilliant and written by the master Mr. John Edward Prine. Modern “country music “ can pound sand.

Great song, with Garland Shuping on banjo and Joe Meadows on fiddle. Another fantastic performance by the McReynolds brothers!!

The total package! You just don’t see this anymore. Billy Strings does a great rendition of Ole Slew Foot, and they’re all very technically proficient musicians, but they just don’t have the same feel.
