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.

[@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

[@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

[@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!

[@airborneassasin]

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

[@ianvalentine9728]

It's only 3 chords.

[@6412mars]

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

[@bobbymoore1820]

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

[@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!

[@stellan2240]

I can’t stop watching this

[@jeremyvantrease8689]

That Banjo drove this jam session! Good stuff!

[@jeremyvantrease8689]

100% it did!

[@wideawakenotwoke6178]

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

[@E171955]

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

[@davidwalker106]

Bad to the bone right there!

[@SilentWeaponsQuietWars]

Jessie sings this song so good!

[@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!!!

[@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!

[@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"

[@apsmith99]

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

[@jordoncollins1332]

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

[@NathanRobinson-cy2ln]

Is this in NC. I see a Panthers fan.

[@rogerhayslett6706]

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

[@wideawakenotwoke6178]

Classic,! Thank you great picking and singing!

[@johnmanser2331]

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

[@bkelly5570]

Les and Earl would be proud.

[@Calboy31170]

And Jimmie Skinner

[@cmanurse]

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

[@jonEbeeGood]

Absolutely Love it !!!

[@papadabanjo1206]

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

[@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! 🤘🏻

[@millieatr]

My man singing might be working on a "Chew"

[@fivestring4653]

Been chewing for 35 years and I was sitting here wondering how he's gettin it done with a fat dip

[@TheBanjoman]

I love pickin this song too...

[@nicoswarley]

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

[@stevenacord7642]

.great stuff the banjo killer. Man . 👍

[@terryledford4106]

That banjo player makes me so damned jeleous!

[@haroldarmstrong8285]

Gotta know J.D. and Earle would love that banger pickin! Great recording guys!!!!

[@Pete-z6e]

,Earl.

[@27Reeder]

Outstanding! Plus, a master’s level demonstration of backup banjo🙌

[@freewill1114]

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

[@ChipQ]

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

[@MjrMjr-tt3kn]

[@hankabbey92]

[@Ravenscaller]

Makes my ears happy.

[@Firewoodmaninvirgina]

Perfect!!!! Most people rush that song

[@whippingstar]

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

[@countryguitaronline]

Love the banjo in this one Russ

[@MrRogsmart]

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

[@jonEbeeGood]

I hear some of that Kenny Ingram stuff from the Jimmy Martin Tribute album. Nice. Love it man!

[@countryguitaronline]

Nice one!

[@craigbarnthouse9248]

Killer rip of this tune. The more I watch Jesse Brock the more I like him. He's filled with it.

[@martijnfransen9933]

What a great performance!

[@haroldarmstrong8285]

This truly is a fabulous group Russ

[@ford6.027]

Son that's hittin it

[@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.

[@Bluegrassboy49]

This is the real stuff for sure.

[@joshiewhite]

Too good.

[@silvsleep3658]

I love it! RC you are amazing. My two favorite bands: KT and LRB. Wow!

[@hunterhobbs4374]

That’s good music!!!

[@michaelmartin3416]

You guys are good!

[@TimothyRyanFisher]

Hey, I’ve really enjoyed your banjo playing, where do you hail from? I’ve learned some of your arrangements because I like the way you play. I’m in Chicago, been teaching banjo for 17 years at the Old Town School of Folk Music.

[@yalahamike]

Dad gummit Russ....those pull offs are the best ....better than you know how! Great Stuff!

[@ermagerd101]

Thanks Russ! Loved the way you seamlessly fit these classic licks together. Entertaining and educational!

[@banjonerd2687]

Loving these videos the last few days!!!

[@zombieslayer2.0xx3]

Wait for Russ to really tear into a break and play with some power!!

[@reubenvalles917]

Thats so good boys!

Great!!

Good job guys,really enjoyed your talent

[@leevonmanstein7459]

these guys are GREAT

[@oversfam]

Top of the line.

[@jclaypool00]

Awesome Russ keep the vids coming 👍 sounds great!!

[@Kanoshe]

This song always sounded like it was made for the Osborn brothers. Ole boy here done a great job too now but the length of notes it just seems too fit right between ruby and rockytop. I don't know if they ever got a decent recording of it though. Maybe on a vynl in 1965 but the videos on KZbin are of poorer quality

[@ClintonCaraway]

Son...Son of a biooooch that sounds AWESOME!!!

[@punchion]

That is banjo mastery right there!!!!!

[@buenosds]

Great!

[@FindingAlabama]

Smokin!!

[@servantofgod8833]

Love to hear all of your videos. Have you guys done Little Maggie yet, I hope you do it sometime 😊

[@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

These guys are great.
