Doin' My Time

[@gmcdougal5421]

Russ, you desperately need to make an album and put this song on it. This is pure bluegrass gold.

[@freewill1114]

I agree wholeheartedly!

[@TheScotter321]

I’m late to the party but boy howdy what a fantastic rendition. I keep it on repeat

[@raytay1571]

Volume too fast!!! 4:45

[@gabemoore3189]

Damn, I've listened to this at least a hundred times, and those banjo breaks never get old. No less all the others.

[@ryantrahan4942]

That man can sing with the best of them.

[@SilentWeaponsQuietWars]

I've watched his videos of him singing when he was younger and he just keeps getting better.

[@wenderia7990]

That’s good ol Jesse Smathers, saw him at a local bluegrass festival. Great guy

[@MBRAT-p1j]

You can't be taught to play this good, it's got to be born into you, great music guys.

[@stellingbanjodude]

I love playing this song. If that lead singer doesn’t have a dip in I’d be surprised

[@Jessesmathers1]

stellingbanjodude you bet I do... Wouldn’t on stage, but that’s why it’s a jam..

[@billeryclinton8519]

Jesse Smathers can I find you singing on any other videos anywhere? Absolutely love your voice.

[@Kanoshe]

@@Jessesmathers1 here we are discussing who you may or may not be when all I had too do was read the description. Hope too see y'all next weekend at willow oak

[@SilentWeaponsQuietWars]

Pursed lips sing differently than open mouths. I didn't know that myself. Who knew? Watch George Jones sing with a almost closed mouth!

[@ThomasB1694]

I cannot tell you how many times i’ve listened to this. You guys have carried the election blues away for me! Keep up the great work Russ. That lead singer is the REAL DEAL

[@airborneassasin]

I just discovered this yesterday and I'm at 30 views lol

[@jeremyvantrease8689]

That Banjo drove this jam session! Good stuff!

[@jeremyvantrease8689]

100% it did!

[@adamaj74]

Man, that banjo sounds good.

[@bronxmosthated1]

4 real 😀😀😀👍👍👍

[@hughfinley2603]

Russ buddy you are the best brother I love your style of picking keep it up and I love it when you make me dance Alan Finley

[@ryantrahan4942]

Best 5 picker today!

[@clayallen4354]

You can hear his picking on the intro Is flawless

[@bobbymoore1820]

This is by far one of the best times this song has EVER been played. Let that Banjo shine son.

[@airborneassasin]

Where else can you have this much fun with 4 chords ?

[@ianvalentine9728]

It's only 3 chords.

[@wideawakenotwoke6178]

Jimmy Martin would be proud of this version first class!!

[@metcalf5820]

If people don’t absolutely love this and recognize the extreme complexity of bluegrass music and these extremely talented musicians, then is NO hope for them!! And heck you all don’t even play in the same band together. I love to watch Jesse on mandolin and I love Russ killing that banjer!! I mean Russ, I give you a GoldStar man!!!

[@stellan2240]

I can’t stop watching this

[@robertflagg2461]

Real true bluegrass here makes the hairs on your arm stand up like Lou Reed of Seldom Scene said "if it don't send the chill bumps running up and down your sleeves then there ain't nothing in it for me"

[@johnb.taylor1881]

Russ, man I gotta say, the biggest compliment I can give on your pickin' is the same thing I say about J.D. and Earl....I hear any recording of any of them and all I can do is count down the time till I can pick up my own banjo and play! That's the good stuff right there hoss!!

[@81crowe]

Thank you so much Bart! Go grab your axe and join us brother!

[@E171955]

Greatest compliment I can pay is that The Osborne Bros would have been proud of this version.

[@6412mars]

A little J.D. A little Earl...a whole bunch of Russ=Super Banjo Pickin! Great stuff!

[@jonEbeeGood]

This is pickin' & grinin' @ it's best

[@jaketherattlesnakeconfer7103]

The BEST Doin My Time I have ever heard!!! Great JOB! Wish I had that kind of talent!

[@81crowe]

Thank you so much! We all had a ball at this session!

[@SilentWeaponsQuietWars]

@@81crowe Do you take requests? Mine would be "He died a Rounder at 21" Please!

[@jonEbeeGood]

Absolutely Love it !!!

[@SilentWeaponsQuietWars]

Jessie sings this song so good!

[@idahoduckhunter]

I’m picky on singers that I like but I always dig big reds singing in your videos

[@81crowe]

idahoduckhunter You need a singer like Jesse in every jam. He is a spinning rolodex of song ideas that rock! 🤘🏻

[@wideawakenotwoke6178]

Classic,! Thank you great picking and singing!

[@johnmanser2331]

Russ you're my main Banjoman!. Love it & greetings from the UK.

[@TheBanjoman]

I love pickin this song too...

[@bkelly5570]

Les and Earl would be proud.

[@Calboy31170]

And Jimmie Skinner

[@whippingstar]

I'm copping every banjo lick in this song. Just so ya know.

[@apsmith99]

That's some mighty fine pickin' & singin'... Well done!

[@jordoncollins1332]

They sign these papers heuh, I givem ten dollar apiece!

[@rogerhayslett6706]

Really enjoying this December break jam series! Great group of people here!!! Hope there's more videos to come.......

[@cmanurse]

Just love this, have to listen to it almost daily! thank you!

[@davidwalker106]

Bad to the bone right there!

[@keithhunter3910]

Three chords and the truth!

[@josephemerson4559]

Isn't that a James King album?

[@keithhunter3910]

@@josephemerson4559 Van Morrison put out an album with that title a few years back. It's an old country music saying. I think I heard Charlie Pride say it once.

[@terryledford4106]

That banjo player makes me so damned jeleous!

[@papadabanjo1206]

I would give this a thousand thumbs up if it would let me! Great job!

[@MrRogsmart]

The usual suspects. Just picking and grinning. This puts a big old smile on my face. Thanks.

[@nicoswarley]

Folks who thumb this down wish they could pick like this with their buds!

[@ChipQ]

Russ, I listen to this pretty often. You hammered nails on every note in this song. insane playing bro.

[@freewill1114]

Man, that banjo sounds so fine, I can't hardly stand it!

[@Ravenscaller]

Makes my ears happy.

[@RavenRaven-se6lr]

Yes it’s a good combo of music and song in tune 👍

[@dustin1203]

When I heard this after the third time I think I discovered what the blind radio DJ felt like when he recorded the Soggy Bottom Boys. That’s some smooth sound y’all got; and it comes from special talent. Loved it ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ
