Doin' My Time

Time to keep the good times and great grooves rollin! My buddies Barry Reed (bass) & Jesse Smathers (rhythm guitar & lead vocals) from The Lonesome River Band had December off from the road & really wanted to jam; so we rounded up Jesse Brock (mandolin) along with my KT brother Jake Workman (lead guitar) and man did we have a solid groove...
Next it's time to jump up to B and hit the Jimmie Skinner classic "Doin' My Time"
All the best and keep rollin,
RC

[@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

[@ryantrahan4942]

That man can sing with the best of them.

[@silentweaponsquietwars1703]

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

[@gabemoore3189]

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

[@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

[@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

[@airborneassasin]

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

[@ianvalentine9728]

It's only 3 chords.

[@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

[@silentweaponsquietwars1703]

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

[@E171955]

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

[@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"

[@davidwalker106]

Bad to the bone right there!

[@rogerhayslett6706]

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

[@bkelly5570]

Les and Earl would be proud.

[@Calboy31170]

And Jimmie Skinner

[@wideawakenotwoke6178]

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

[@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!

[@silentweaponsquietwars1703]

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

[@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

[@cmanurse]

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

[@nicoswarley]

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

[@johnmanser2331]

[@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! 🤘🏻

[@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.

[@Ravenscaller]

Makes my ears happy.

[@papadabanjo1206]

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

[@ford6.027]

Son that's hittin it

[@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!!!

[@haroldarmstrong8285]

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

[@banjopete]

,Earl.

[@esquadraorebelde]

Looks like "when the angels carry me home"

[@27Reeder]

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

[@freewill1114]

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

[@user-ig5nm9bt1s]

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

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.
