Y'All Come: The Essential Jim & Jesse

Amazon.com essential recording
The McReynolds brothers made their biggest impact by combining the sound of traditional bluegrass with other elements of country music. This 20-song collection covers their 1960s association with Epic, when the duo allowed their array of influences to shine through and added drums and electric instruments to their sound. Three Louvin Brothers favorites accompany assorted gospel numbers, a pair of Chuck Berry covers, a Bob Wills standard, hard-driving songs of trains and trucks, and some straight bluegrass. Fans of traditional bluegrass will prefer their earlier Capitol work to this greatest-hits package, but Jim's immaculate tenor vocals, Jesse's innovative mandolin technique, and the pair's natural harmonies are all on display here. --Marc Greilsamer

Love it!.......2003-06-15

On a garage sale haunt a few years ago, I got a country collection LP with a Jim & Jesse song called Diesel on my tail. One of the best country tunes I ever heard - should have been included on this collection. I am more into country than bluegrass; that being said, I love this cd 100%. The Chuck Berry tunes work perfectly as country/bluegrass. The minor key Thunder Road is fantastic, Ole Slew Foot, Rabbit in the log are great numbers as well. The banjo/mandolin/guitar playing is virtuoso, the singing is what is known as seamless harmonies. The later songs on this collection are very similar to Commander Cody/Charlie Daniels, especially Hot Rod Race 2 & Yonder comes a freight train. There's a lot to recommend here - great collection, great artists. Love them to death! Better than Bill Monroe!

Misleading Title.......2002-04-23

"The Essential?" Hmm I don't think this is "the essential" Hardly any of their well known songs. I didn't need their version of "Ole Slewfoot". But the thing is, this is the only domestic release of any of their Columbia recordings. So I guess this is all we get.
