I knew Butch when he was much younger. He was always a gentleman, and a fine musician.

More more more....more talking AND more playing:-) Butch is one of the true keepers of the flame and his wisdom musicale is as valuable as his playing- thanks for including this!!

The three albums that Butch recorded those many years ago still stand up to the test of time. I'll never forget the one and only time I saw him perform. It was with Bill Monroe and they were on fire. I feel very fortunate.

I read Butch's book a couple of years ago, and love listening to him talk as much as play. He has a sharp mind and a keen insight into this music. And is a VERY underrated banjo player. One of the best to ever play for Monroe.

I just love that hard-driving melodic style that is distinctively his. It's strange that Butch Robins is hardly ever mentioned in any bluegrass circuit. He is truly one of the grand masters of the melodic style banjo and deserves much more recognition and credit than he gets.

Its videos like these, done by the pros like Butch, that keep me coming back to KZbin looking for "new tunes". Thanks SO MUCH for posting this! Butch has been a favorite of mine for many, many years. Good to see he is just as good as ever!

For the guy here who 'wouldn't go to see him play', you should be so lucky! I was at the Tennessee Banjo Institue back in the nineties and saw him play. The word 'master' was created for players like Robins.

That was intentional. This is a video from Butch's website where he was giving some instruction on the history of his approach to fiddle tunes.

You're absolutely right. In my opinion, it's him and Bob Black--though Butch has a lot more drive in his playing (which comes from the fact that he's a master of Scruggs style as well, which Black never really was IMO).
