Jimmy Martin had the most perfect voice for blue grass music. He was the best.

I love how Tom Adams and Jimmy are locked right in sync rhythmically on guitar and banjo. I know Jimmy had to be enjoying the heck out of that.

PLayed guitar since 70's, rock, classic rock, then discovered bluegrass. All I play. Easy to find jams. Bought a Martin D 28 and haven't looked back. Oh I still rock occasionally, but mostl bluegrass. What fun. Played and heard 60's rock a kabillion times. Needed something new. This guy is the real deal

I attended the very first festival in 1976 at Merrilea Farms in upstate NY. I remember that hill so well! And I remember the lemonade stand ... and the chicken people! Dang! That was great BBQ! In 1979 and ’80 I was on the volunteer security team. In 1981 and ’82 I was the crew chief for the security team. One of my favorite things about being on security was the authority I had to linger around backstage; I got to chat with Ricky, Jerry, Jim and Jesse, Bill Monroe, et al. Boy, what memories!

Bluegrass Festivals are still around.....but all the Heros are Dead, execpt Ralph Stanley. Jimmy Martin is my all time favorite......he was at his Best when he came off the stage and just "Hung Out" with the crowd. Just too funny. I sure miss Jimmy Martin and Curly Ray Cline.

Yessiree! Another good bunch of Sunny Mtn Boys that Jimmy had back then. Tom Adams, solid and ON IT on 5-string; Audie Blaylock and of course the GREAT Charlie Cline on fiddle (who Jimmy had worked with way back in the 50's when they were both Bluegrass Boys with Monroe). Notice how Jimmy changes the song up with timing, phrasing and some other words and those boys better be able to follow him (which they did!). Also some classic Martin guitar runs and that rockabilly feel. Great clip - thanks for the post.

According to Geoff Stelling on May 22, 2008, "I believe the banjo was a 1979 Bellflower, walnut, 3 piece neck, that was sent to or delivered by me to Jimmy when Shannon Mays was playing banjo for him." Tom Adams followed Shannon Mays in the succession of banjo players who worked for Martin,

Jimmy Martin - lead vocal, guitar; Charlie Cline - bass vocal, fiddle; Audie Blaylock - tenor vocal, mandolin; Tom Adams - baritone vocal, banjo; Brad Hudson - bass. Jimmy had an endorsement with the Stelling banjo company, so Tom is playing Jimmy Martin's Stelling rather than his 1981 Gold Star.

Tom Adams walked all over the mandolin break. I guess it's before he learned how to vamp.
@banjothink9 жыл бұрын
Let me set the record straight about why I played what I played in this 1985 video: Jimmy told me to never vamp, especially during mandolin breaks, and especially during songs played at this tempo. He wanted the banjo to keep rolling and would sometimes either push my right shoulder with the headstock of his guitar or verbally say "Closer" when he wanted the banjo closer to the mic, whether or not I thought the banjo was too loud. The sound you hear is the sound the band leader wanted at the time.

banjothink Did Jimmy ever let you use the GF-100 with him? Or did you have to play that Stelling?

81crowe I played the GF-100 Gold Star when I first started playing with him but Jimmy was pretty keen to have me play the Stelling that Geoff (Stelling) had given him.

banjothink I worked in a Gospel band that had a different situation; the mandolin player cross-picked, and rolling the Banjo clashed, so I had to do a 3-2-5-1 pattern. As a sideman, you make a great point in letting the people in on the ethic, if you want the job, and to keep collecting a paycheck, you have to do what the boss says. Just like any other job. Tom, you did a great job of replicating the sound that Jimmy's fans loved and recognized.
