[@stevecorrigan5139]

Just when ya think you've heard the best version of this song, you hear this. Wow..Cheers from New Zealand!

[@patrickderp1044]

check out "ruby" and "kentucky" and of course, "rocky top"

[@kamkelevra]

It doesn't get any better than this

[@JEANSDEMARCO]

This is why I love bluegrass!! 😀

[@02hreblue30]

We lost Sonny yesterday. Terrible day for music. He will be missed

[@cynthiabohannon8129]

I THINK BOBBY OSBORNE HAS THE PUREST BLUEGRASS VOICE I'VE EVER HEARD&WITH SONNY'S HARMONY&BANJO PLAYING THEY WILL ALWAYS BE AN INSPIRATION TO FUTURE BLUEGRASS MUSICIANS&SINGERS.

[@Pickinbuddy]

+CYNTHIA BOHANNON A voice like Bobby Osborne's comes along only once in a lifetime....he is unequalled.

[@geirbakke4126]

Streeplers

[@deborahtomlin6327]

Always loved what they did. Truly understood what Bluegrass is all about

[@tylercarter302]

Yes'sah!

[@jessieismyfriend]

why are you yelling

[@cookie2000ify]

Nobody to compare with them. Absolutely the best.

[@pegcage]

This is one of the greatest Bluegrass performances I have ever heard. Whenever I need a fix, I come here.

[@CC-xw5kc]

Wish I could upvote every listen…. Simply brilliant…

[@redwolf7929]

Sonny osbournes back up banjo is second to none ,his variety syncopation, just awesome

[@brando6358]

Can't believe I've found this???? This was a track on the very first album my parents bought me as a kid, and I'm 51!!! Absolutely blown away, damn those memories hit you right between the eyes. Absolutely first class... what a song! Thank you so much dude.

[@arnoldstafford2900]

Yea they was and are great

[@thejman37]

It's late 2020 and this rendition makes me forget all the world's problems.

[@Renee_ok_-_-]

2012...and this still kicks ass. Modern country, listen and learn.............

[@Randyman4126]

Oh you know it bro!! They sure made this tune a banger!!😁😁

[@badger305]

This is the best rendition of this song I've ever heard, and I've heard them all over the past 50 yrs. Much better than even Bill Monroe's, live or recorded.

[@dabneyoffermein595]

they still do performances

[@61Slughi]

The best version of this song by far!

[@genepayne2472]

10-4 on that

[@genghiskhan7041]

Bill Monroe's version is better, imo. Check it out if you haven't heard it yet. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpq1pmNph8yGjdk

[@61Slughi]

@@genghiskhan7041 I still like this version better, but just think if Kenny Baker sat in on this.

[@christopherwoodby5754]

Still partial to the Fendermen but this version is great too.

[@737tinman]

good lord have mercy..if this sound doesn't tug at your soul..

[@CARROLLCTYDOBROGIRL]

High & lonesome. By the excellent Bobby Osborne !

[@violetmullikin1725]

This reminds me of one Sunday morning getting ready for church with my grandpa.. he didn't know that I would like this stuff!

[@spinblackcircles]

Holy hell this is incredible

[@Jewmaine87]

I Grew up listing to this and this style of Blue grass . Fine music

[@themusicman3223]

Dang it Bobby is one of the best singers ever. I wish I could sing half as good as him!

[@BonnieKeaton]

Nothing like them we was so blessed ❤

[@Randyman4126]

Something about The Osborne Brothers bluegrass version just slaps hard, in a great way!! 🕺💃🤸‍♂️

[@blaughter3]

I sure do love the Osborne brothers!!!!

[@gborch1969]

What a voice! Pure and poignant

[@larryliggett8121]

Sonny & Bobbie just do it right! What an awesome sound.

[@albertdesalvo7273]

I first heard Mule Skinner Blues by the Osbourne Brothers 44 years ago as a young boy. Bobby's voice mesmerized me way back then, and still does, and in my opinion, the Osbourne Brothers' interpretation of Jimmie Rodgers' Mule Skinner Blues is the definitive rendition.

[@davidfishferrell]

It’s my day off, and I just told my boss I’d work for free after hearing this song! If you don’t feel this song in your bones, you need to call the doctor you might be dead

[@richardnieset9227]

July 2020....Nd this is still as good as it gets.......

[@jeffjeeves6337]

Wow,what an instrument that voice was!!!!

[@IrieFiery]

'Is'...he's still alive

[@magselloff]

First heard this in the early sixties and still remains without question the best version of this song I have ever heard.

[@tucizyma1]

Osborn Brothers Great Performers. Thanks !

[@arnoldharris]

Take a bowe Bob And sonny you were the best.✨✨

[@ThePossumfan]

this is awesome music....

[@chalino987_2]

I strongly agree

[@TriFiveAviator]

Heard this many times when I was young (50 years ago) but never heard it sung this pure. Impressive!

[@outlaw1340]

These and the fendermen are the best on playing this tune by far ..brill

[@weekapaugjay471]

Amazing vocals by Bobby. Rip

[@mikeburks9641]

Bobby Osborne won a purple heart in the Korean war. Thank you sir for your service to this country. There are probably a few bluegrass singers who can sing as high as Bobby. John duffey and Donny catron of the Tennessee gentleman to name a couple but I never heard anyone who could hit that high of a note and hold it for so long, what a talent and American treasure.

[@82MB240D]

This is the kind of song I'd sing to driving down the interstate all day long.

[@beachboyalan1]

What a voice fabulous thay don’t make talent like this anymore stand up bass banjo mandolin acoustic guitar and a voice to die for awesome

[@richardbeach2430]

Good Lord Almighty Bobby Osborne just flat shows out on this Jimmie Rogers classic..

[@jonj921]

Good Lord I love u America!

[@coinneachmaclellan3121]

Now I know who the Fendermen were listening to when they decided to record their classic rockabilly version of "Muleskinner Blues"...

[@dakota4900]

wow this is the best ive heard too

[@mantolaman]

One of the best versions ever!

[@jimjackson7878]

Try Merle Haggard, and old Jimmie Rodgers.

[@albertdesalvo7273]

Simply awesome.

[@markrush5013]

Bobby had an insanely crisp sharp voice much like one of his idols..Bill Monroe.

[@michaelkemp8320]

Best version ever.

[@terryswanson1400]

Love these guys great tune.

[@dfrymier959]

This song is played now in remembrance of Zola Muzick a good ole Kentucky girl and one of the best ladies I ever had the pleasure of knowing. God bless you lady..Love Dale Ann

[@Outdooracademe]

Beautiful!!

[@The1960Desoto]

Great music like I remember as kid when bluegrass WAS country music and not the TRASH on the airways today

[@ArkRed1]

One of the better versions of this tune. Tight as Dick's hatband.

[@fredkoning]

Great!

[@thinkslaughter]

wow cant explain it, but fuck yea!

[@billrussell6917]

Wonderful! I’m back home in the kitchen with granny and paw for breakfast listening to Moon Mullins on the radio!

[@6erwebb1]

This song makes me picture a skinny old man in overalls riding a pair of mules tethered together through the hills in Tn.

[@Jasonlarge-f7d]

Love these guys my favs

[@phillipandrews1303]

Awesome sound

[@DivaInTheWoods]

Listening to different versions after watching Ken Burns Country Music on PBS. This one is great! Not sure if this or Dolly's is better, but both are such fun to listen to!!

[@McCurtainCounty888]

Wow!!! Just the best ever.

[@eytonshalomsandiego]

God i love these guys! sorry it took to age 69 to "discover" them....i love em as much as Stanley Brothers, maybe more....well, thank god you can like difference!" Thanks to the Pressley Sisters of NC Appalachia for finding them...

[@jimmymoss5110]

Good GAWD!!

[@jimmymoss5110]

Mah BOY, mah BOY!!

[@barry1705]

[@twocandycains]

[@pegknife]

[@MSASteelerPSG]

Bobby and Sonny rule!

[@bvdkarols]

Aw this is how I remember them, in this picture.

[@jbcsmithsmith1100]

It simply doesn't get any better than Bobby and Sonny Osborne, "period, case closed, 'nuff said!"

[@frankbritt419]

We never missed a concert whenever they were near. With the Lewis Family they had the greatest show on earth.

[@jbash1970]

@fiddlereli I believe you fell and bumped your head. Bill never sang this good even when he was younger.

[@kristaldwilder]

awesome

[@geraldwest3428]

Salute!

Awesome

[@davidfishferrell]

[@mildredrharmon4032]

♥️

[@Phish1995]

I've said it before, the bros were Punk rock before there was any such thing. Hyden, Kentucky. That's where these cats were from. Deep in Appalachia.

[@whitebluesky6932]

As Steve Earle says, There's no room for vulgarity in bluegrass.

[@markphillips1824]

Since I love The Cramps version this one trumps it because it's older, I see why they decided to cover it!

[@robert-oq9jq]

Wow

[@tarp11z]

Hot dang it.

[@pexxos1]

I'd like to skin the 23 mules who voted thumbs down on this song!

[@SteelguitarLane]

+whitebluesky: Steve ACTUALLY said "there's no room in profanity for bluegrass." And I'd point out that, growing up amongst Bob&Sonny, King Jimmy, John Duffey, Charlie Waller et c. (My dad was in the Seldom Scene and took us kids to almost all the festivals), they used a lot of profanity off stage, but believed it tacky onstage and hardly ever did.

[@castleincorporated]

never had an interest in music, but now I want to play bluegrass gospel

[@westernsharpie]

Only 251 Views!!!! WTF 50 of them are mine, this is a hell of a version

[@zmov1]

@BOONER31 And I am catching up fast, lol! Love the Osbornes. Just try to keep your foot still! :)

[@georgesfennelle403]

Mercy Me !

[@rabokarabekian409]

The Led Zeppelin of bluegrass.

[@twocandycains]

What does the intro sound like? I have only listen to this tune and Bobby Osborne tore it up!!

[@santanaincubus]

Didn't know Ozzy had Rockin distant cousins 🤟 😁

[@craigmiller1870]

What do you think of that live Dolly Parton version from the Porter Wagoner Show? I think its super sweet. Not like my meat and potatoes Blue Grass, but a nice treat on top, you don't have to do any work. Just don't need the sugar all the time now!

[@61Slughi]

Wow, he's hitting notes that only dogs can hear.
