Written by my Brother-in-law, Joe Langston. It was written about my wife's daddy, Leonard Langston who worked in the Huntsville, Alabama Merrimack Cotton Mill pretty much all of his working life. Jim & Jesse brought this out and we are mighty proud of the ole family song.

My Dad wrote it. I'm his oldest daughter. :) He was so talented. I loved to hear him sing... when he'd call... every now and then. Still proud of his talent!

Such wonderfully relaxed and effortless singing, from Jim McReynolds especially. I saw them many times at bluegrass festivals. Sure miss 'em.

This is one of the greatest Bluegrass songs and videos I have ever seen. Beautiful song that hits home. These 2 brothers were such a GREAT Duo. Jesse on the left of the video, Mandolin is still alive today as of 2021. He is 92 and still performing. Amazing

RIP Jesse. He passed away late June 2023. Age 93. Bobby Osborne also passed away at age 91 a few days apart. So sad.

The more of these Jim & Jesse videos on KZbin the better.A sound that can't be duplicated!

AMAZING, This comment is now 12 years old . wow I hope in the 12 years this video has been online here at KZbin, many people, including maybe some new Bluegrass music fans have had a chance to see this beautiful music. They did have their own unique style.

Say what you will about Jim and Jesse's other songs. Cotton Mill Man is their signature song. No one else will ever equal it.

Right on Luke. These first and second generation blue grass artists lived their songs. These were tough country people. This is a freaking GREAT song! Down right radical, actually! Jesse, of course, also invented the cross picking style on the mandolin. There are probably some other videos on You Tube that can demonstrate the technique.

When i was a kid my grandfather,granmother and my uncle work in the cottonmill..in my home town...all three died young from a disease caused by working in the collecting room where tiny fibers were always in the air...their lungs developed a type of cancer from the constant breathing in of the fibers..I watched the cottonmill burn to the ground when i was 5 years old...the company never built it back...my folks died years later...the night it burned, it looked like daytime at night...

I worked in a Cotten mill from 1970 to 1977. I wouldn’t take anything for my experiences there. There were the nicest people there and I miss them. Jj.
