Sam Bush Band "Bringing in that Georgia Mail"

Sam Bush Band perform "Bringing in that Georgia Mail" live at Old Settlers Music Festival in Austin Texas 4/21/07. Sam is a phenomenal picker and band leader with roots in the oldtime while holding the dubious distinction of creating the term New Grass. Later that night at the festival me and a friend where back in the parking lot and Sam's Bus was there and we yelled "SAM BUS" at it a few times mocking the stage exit he is known to do :)

I just so LOVE it that our Sam's not a mic hog. Everyone gets a chance to shine - and they are all damned excellent pickers. But then - I imagine that Sam would set the bar pretty high. Deadly picker, extremely soulful singer . . . He's just one of my favourite PEOPLE, ever. . . .

[@dmiller1112]

Best version EVER that I've heard of this tune!

[@JimmyDeLocke]

This kicks ass.

[@gracestokes3288]

Blazing Hot

"A good time was had by all" - Lum & Abner show quote, applies here.

4:06 - 4:21 is one reason why Scott Vestal recently won the Steve Martin Prize for Excellence in Banjo! So well-deserved, as Scott's playing is inventive, fierce and so musical.

Craig Wales went straight from Scruggs to outer space

[@melindashannon1015]

[@BATENKILL]

HAHAHAHA Scott had to hydrate before he melted his banjo down

[@BluegrassPhil]

Sam & the guys : you are killers !!!

[@fatdan90]

Play it Byron house!!! Sam bush is a good mandolin player in this song and the drums sound good too!!!!!

[@bluegrassbarry]

world class sam bush still first in space-grass!

[@FathomlessJoy]

Damn! It's hard to say that this is better than the Flatt and Skruggs original, which was a more relaxed tempo with HUGE old timey harmonies from the backups, but I said g'dayem Bush and boys kick some tail here! Of course this song is titled, "Bringing in *the* Georgia Mail" But still...damn!

[@paulcowley3648]

Shit hot! Not a band I'd want to be in!!

[@notmefuckingname]

4:50 oh man

[@TheBasenjiman]

Each time Sam moves his pick hand, it looks like he is hitting every string on the mandolin and not individual ones.

[@lightningbug25]

GOOD I play the mandolin and I like to think that anybody could do this, the notes are there waiting for you to press them... And were just learning to press them.

[@Hermanator8]

How does he find individual strings with that right hand flailing away like it does?

[@gangelone999]

if the terminator played the banjo , that is what it would sound like

[@BeautifulEarth180]

Yogi :D

[@bigmrclean]

Fast forward to 2:50 if you wanna hear "Bringing in that Georgia mail"

[@jasong2978]

Don't fast forward if you want to hear a great jammy intro

[@MrProgrock]

If you don't think this worth your time, why do you watch it? Bugger off!
