I saw the Osborne brothers in 1967 near my hometown of Norman Oklahoma at the first bluegrass festival in 1967 when I was eight years old. They did Rocky Top!

Love Billy’s showmanship and entertaining in the spirit of Roy Clark, the intimate contact with his audience while killing his instrument and just having fun while he displays the artistry and skills few ever put in the work to achieve. Well done to Billy and the band, they follow his lead well. So good! 🔥🙌🏼🤗🎯👏🏼

They are totally awesome, seen them three magical times, Billy has revived my faith in music. But the Dead have like 50 original classic songs that everyone wants to cover 50 years later. That's what makes you truly timeless. And Billy has taken already established ways of playing guitar to the next level, but Jerry invented a way that no one ever envisioned. There is a difference between absurdly talented and genius, but there's still time.

Sweet take on this classic. FYI - This song is NOT an original Osborne Brothers. It was written and first recorded by Cousin Emmy in 1946.

@Dloomis494 2 жыл бұрын

Indeed. Cynthia Mae Carver played professionally as Cousin Emmy. In 1935 she WON the National Oldtime Fiddlers' Championship. She was the first woman to WIN the event. In 1946 performing as Cousin Emmy and Her Kinfolk, she wrote and recorded Ruby(Are You Mad at Your Man). The Osborne Brothers released Ruby as a single in 1956, and popularized it, I suppose.
