Jimmy Martin ~ Freeborn Man

[@rhondalawsonrescuekendinlawson]

I went to my great uncle Jimmy Martins house growing up and I remember Ol Pete. He had a lot of dogs . He made me cry laughing everytime I saw Jimmy. He was the BEST !!!!!!

I'm just now hearing this. Amazing! Arkansas rocks played this while I was heading across Rt62 from berryvile thru Eureka springs Arkansas last Sunday. Great song I was hitting 15mph curves at 30!! Wow and double wow!!

[@williepete5547]

Spent a lot of time in Eureka Springs...fun little town

[@paullanyi516]

I have this album . . autographed by Jimmy . . Grass Valley, CA June 1992 . .

[@oldan1954]

do me a favor and look on the album... who is playing fiddle and who is playing the banjo.. thanks

[@jacobbeane408]

I live in grass valley

[@paullanyi516]

@@oldan1954 Finally responding to ya. The album is buried behind some other stuff currently. Since it's a Greatest Hits compilation, I would guesstimate any number of the know banjo pickers who played with Jimmy could be on any particular cut. J.D. Crowe and Bill Emerson stand out of course.

Fond memories of childhood. Dad loved bluegrass and we loved this one.

Jimmy Martin king of trouble gittn. Good grooves.

[@robsher]

He is he man.My son played two shows with him.

[@truckerkevthepaidtourist]

to this day it amazes people that this legendary which became a bluegrass track was written 2 Raiders. the great Mark Lindsay and Keith Allison. who along with Paul Revere and the rest of the band gave us those classic songs like just like me kicks hungry and more. there's been arguments about this but when you look at it this is not an original Jimmy Martin or Tony Rice or bluegrass song originally it's more of a folk blues song written by 2 Raiders. and the original is just as cool

[@sandburgmartin7947]

You know your rock history. 2 rockers wrote it but it is a bluegrass anthem. Just goes to show how music is from the heart and soul. No genre is superior...just borrows from each other.

[@ccorbin7128]

That’s a great point. Mark Lindsay’s original says “I was born in the Northland” while Jimmy’s version says “Southland”. And I like Jimmy’s bluegrass version better.

[@sealthatsilvermine]

Seeing/hearing video of Tony Rice (with his Unit) perform this song (wonderfully) brought me here. (Billy Strings does a nice job as well.) This here is the best.

[@shawthackston9723]

Man that is tight!

[@scottallen8607]

yeah man.. Jimmy Martin .. King of bluegrass..

[@backwoodsbelle8714]

Scott Allen - Jimmy is great but the king is Bill Monroe, baby.

[@alabastardmasterson]

Scott Allen self proclaimed...but love him and the chip on shoulder just the same

[@angelacompton1817]

??? Ralph Stanley is the king!! Jimmy Martin is the shit though....for sure.

[@rockinredneck57]

Bill is the father of bluegrass. Jimmy is the king.

[@papawoody9597]

This song has been covered probably 20 times, but the is THE version. Nobody done it like Jimmy done it.

Billy Strings sucks 😂

[@countryascanb5229]

Not taking anything away from Billy, he is a hell of a guitar player and all around good instrumentalists and musician. However, him or anyone else have a voice like Jimmy and could really throw it out there. The drive, the timing, and just right down hard driving bluegrass music, Jimmy couldn't be beat. The only thing that Billy could beat Jimmy at is his guitar. Billy is good on a mandolin too, never really heard him on any other instruments but I am sure he's good on them too.

[@countryascanb5229]

Billy doesn't have a voice like Jimmy
