Raisin' the Dickens - The French Family Band Grand Ole Opry Debut 29th March 2023 (Song 3 of 3)

We couldn't perform on the The Grand Ole Opry without a picking tune, so for our final song we paid tribute to the the late great Little Jimmy Dickens (and his band) with the Buddy Emmons classic "Raisin' the Dickens". Here it is plus the interview with Kelly Sutton.
Musicians: Sonny, Camille and Stuie French, Jeff Taylor 🪗, Mike Rogers🥁, Eamon McLoughlin 🎻 and Larry Paxton (Bass)

I LOVE THIS FAMILY ❤️

[@22mike88]

Wow wow wow! What a joy to be able to watch the French family get the recognition they deserve!

[@99sco]

For sure. They deserve every bit of it and more.

[@DannyBrooks1]

What a talented family!

[@MSmith-sixfiddle]

Been following them since they came to the states and can say I can’t agree with you more! So glad they are making it and others will be able to hear and enjoy their remarkable talent! You go guys!

[@7884golfguru]

Huge fan from down under ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@leonardking84]

This is what the Opry needs more of, country purists. Go French Family.

[@redchandler]

Wow your performance was excellent on the Grand Ole Opry! Congratulations!

[@patrileys]

GREAT GREAT GREAT :-)

[@guermeisterdoodlebug7980]

I’m so proud that I discovered this family several years ago and no one is a bigger fan than I. I wonder how many others realize that Stuie is one of the best pickers in the business. And that’s the best damned accordion player I’ve seen (and I watched Dick Contino in the 1950s). Maybe next Opry appearance will include the always delightful Manaia.

[@mrjohnwayne72]

Succes! Such a great pleasure to follow you!

[@chinchorrero]

Lovely Famlily! I love your music (Congratulation!)

[@Cryptoberg]

You just have to come to Norway. You have to :)

[@stephensmith60]

Congrats. to the French Family Band! They're Always entertaining. 👏🏻😊👍

[@TheElrondo]

Besides the WOW factor of the French Family, wich i follow for years. What guitar is Sonny playing? Yes, it's a Gibson but what model?

[@TheFrenchFamilyBand]

It's a Gibson ES-275 Custom Gold City :)

[@noahcount7132]

What a fantastic Opry debut! The French Family Band's 3-number set really tore it up! 👍👍👍👍

[@anniefarr4373]

So proud for you all Ive followed you for many years and most especially since your Loungeroom Lives after you arrived there Along with everyone else I just fell deeper and deeper in love with you all Blessings from the Gold Coast 😊

[@daviddavid9837]

All the way from Australia to the Opry. So happy for you. Keep the videos coming! So talented, so warm, so welcoming.

[@ambometar1757]

I also come from Indonesia and really enjoy the songs and music from the French Family Band....

[@jonnyw82]

Congrats on playing at the opry! Very distinct guitar sound, you guys influenced by 50’s surf rock at all?

[@rogers531]

Good kon you French Australian in American.

[@srnunan4783]

Haha i thought they were gonna say TE when they mentioned another Aussie in Nashville, Keith completely slipped my mind. These guys have more country in one song than Keith has in every song he's ever played.

[@markdeweese9288]

His son sounds like Roy Nichols.

[@prberk1]

Chet Atkins would be proud, as should CGP Steve Wariner.

[@ockiedavel7318]

Very nice, folks. We cannot hear the base.

[@tkinney80]

When there’s great musicians like these why do we get trash on the radio?

[@patcooper1160]

where is chick and that little girl i hope to see them soon?

[@jeremiahrogersGuitar]

Ya'll oughta do Folsom Prison Blues by Johnny Cash

[@rebeccamouse9294]

Awe man I thought this was going to be dedicated to Hazel Dickens.

[@drewan575]

Happy for them but feel they are at their best when the son, Sonny, sings Buck Owens type songs. I hate to say it but I get board with anything they do.

[@robertrogers49]

Buddy Emmons did not co write Raisin the dickens he Wrote Raisin the Dickens by himself. Get your info correct people.

[@MultiBaldEagle]

When someone from another country actually plays real country music better than what Americans now call country artists, it lets everybody know just how far down the toilet country music has gone.

[@joanhesik485]

What happened to the older boy who played bass

[@seanmckenna8807]

The best guitar players come out of country music.
