Jim & Jesse - 1976 - Ashes of Love

[@geeker211]

This is so much better than the popular music these days. No fancy stage videos, no auto-tune, no booming ear-piercing instruments, just pure talent and beautiful harmonies. How music should be.

[@charleslee1879]

Yeah! And the camera isn't flitting around from scene to scene before your eyes even have time to focus!!! Or, someone is doing a solo and the camera is showing the lights or someone playing rhythm! LOL!

[@ELIZABETHHUGHES-l7u]

Lovely song and great singers very entertaining gentlemen Thanks. ❤❤❤

[@BigTeire]

I hate the light shows, they are so disrespectful to the original bluegrass scene and that bill stringz guy... what a rip off

[@levizimmerman1490]

They are good musicians,unfortunately they are gone,God bless them.

[@charleslee1879]

The fellow in the middle was Jesse's son who passed from MS. I got to meet them all and helped his son load up the bus after the gig. Truly incredibly nice, real people...Keith was 44 when he passed... RIP Keith and Jim... :(

[@mathewfines8727]

I'm so sorry to hear this, but it answers a question I have had about who he is (was), Sad story, but didn't he harmonize beautifully?

[@123bluegrassgirl]

This is true country bluegrass music! The music nowadays is NOT country, no matter what anyone says.

[@davepalmatier5190]

AMEN TO THAT!!! IT'S A DESTROYING OF COUNTRY MUSIC. IT'S EMBARRASSING

[@karenrichard-wt2wg]

the only Country music that i listen to is the older Country music I dont think that I really know any countty singers from this Century alll my music iis from the 1990's & older

[@tpage6]

Wish the very start of this wasn't cut off. That mandolin kick-off is the best part.

[@t4texastom587]

R.I.P. Jim McReynolds Jesse McReynolds

[@olivetg1]

I just love Jesse's style of "cross-picking" and "string-splitting" mandolin licks. No one does it quite like him.

[@sue598]

I love Jim & Jesse my cousins from Carfax, Virginia.....your posts are right on they were super nice and they have more talent than they were giving credit for...

[@500SmithandWesson]

Nobody can hold a candle to Jesse for playing mandolin.

[@charleslee1879]

That's a good point! I really can't say I've ever heard ANYONE but Jesse cross-pick a mandolin... Has anyone else?

[@mathewfines8727]

Actually...many players can hold a candle to Jesse in my opinion, on the mandolin, but Just like Earl Scruggs, there will never be anything but imitators in the style which Jesse invented. He was one of a kind, and invented the mandolin style known as crosspicking style. Great singer too!

[@brianmaricle9646]

I love Buck Owens version of the song this is my first time hearing Jim and Jesse sing it I like this version too

[@bunnoatnichibei]

That, ladies and gentlemen, is music!

[@TheRonnie63]

my mother use to sing this song,she played the guitar and she sung great, she could of made a living as a performer. this brings back many memories ,thanks for the post

[@Gods2ndFavoriteBassPlyr]

Super nice people, and unbelievably talented. Jesse wrote the book on bluegrass mandolin, and the group is a national treasure.

[@Johnny-xw7mf]

Oh the sounds that came out of the Ryman on a Sat night in Nashville Tenn wooooooo ❤❤❤Johnny From

[@edwiles5258]

a great sone, written and first released by Johnny and Jack back in 51...I remember it was popular in the early 50's when I would go with my dad to the cafe he owned and listen to the juke box all day long

[@CreamyBone]

Garland Shuping on banjo and Joe Meadows plays fiddle.

[@podunkville9309]

My ex-husband used to play banjo with them in the late 1960s & even played the Grand Ole Opry with them when he was a teenager. Thanks to him, I love these fellahs & Bluegrass. Much obliged, Kenny

[@banjobgboy]

beboobeboo has no clue what he's talking about. J&J are awesome and besides this clip is from 1976..... they were cool then and this music is absolutely classic. Thanks for sharing

[@terrylunsford352]

I just love the smooth as silk tenor from Jim McReynolds

[@CreamyBone]

It's Jesse's son Keith McReynolds. Unfortunately Keith had multiple sclerosis, Jesse and his wife lost him on Feb 2, 2000. He was only 44 years old.

[@charleslee1879]

True... :(. I'm just reading through the posts and saw this... RIP Keith and Jim.

[@SigP229R]

[@ford2n2003]

Best hair in bluegrass...

[@lovechild89507]

Their concert in Boulder in the early 70's was hands-down one of the two or three best BG performances I've ever seen.

[@MrDad665]

[@josephbarbarie692]

Jesse's mandolin break is like something from Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier Bk 1

[@PaulGreen11]

That's some good pickin'!

[@briartlaw]

[@tima1929]

Ashes of love cold as ice you made the debt I'll pay the price Our love is gone there's no doubt ashes of love the flames burned out The love light that gleam in your eyes has gone out to my surprise We said goodbye my heart bled I can't revive your love is dead Ashes of love cold as ice I trusted dear our love would stand your every wish was my command My heart tells me I must forget I loved you then I love you yet Ashes of love cold as ice Ashes of love cold as ice

[@charleslee1879]

Been there, done that! ;)

[@noserider23]

Totally rad vid!

[@judithlynnstreet1919]

❤️❤️

[@nathankluttz2015]

Who is that playing the banjo?

[@erasmoramon4031]

How bout that fiddel

[@maryavenatti3360]

LETS DANCE

[@mathewfines8727]

I think Jim & Jesse McReynolds were the best non-black influenced Bluegrass Band Ever! Now, dont get me wrong ...I love the music of Bill Monroe for many reasons not the least being that he put the blues music of the South into his hard driving more modern Sound, but Jim and Jesse managed to skip the blues and still be great, with the power of white gospel, I reckon. OK..I have said my piece, Ill shut up now.

[@baldy194859]

is,nt this great ? i really love bluegrass.

[@bluegrassboy75]

Is that Tater Tate on the fiddle?

[@nathankluttz2015]

Joe Meadows

[@georgeguttler9364]

the guy playing fiddle looks like Johnny Paycheck, but that can't be, can it?

[@excavatoree]

George Guttler No, I believe that's Joe Meadows.

[@hotrodtrucker88]

+George Guttler yes it does

[@chrispierce1739]

I saw Joe Meadows playing with Walter Hensley in Baltimore back in 79'. Twin fiddles along with Jon Glick. Those guys were smoking !!!
