A 1972 reunion set featuring Jimmy Martin and The Osborne Brothers?
I can’t even.
Befitting the 70s, this is a wild set: Drums and bass are mixed way too hot. Martin, ever the loose cannon, takes some time collecting himself. Martin and Bobby Osborne debate the efficacy of a new addition to the traditional bluegrass lineup, trying it out on a much-beloved sacred song.
Head festival honcho, Carlton Haney, requests a number from the stage. Though the trio clearly hasn’t rehearsed it, “Hit Parade Of Love” turns out to be the highlight of the set – proving that you can put great musicians on the spot, and they’ll perform like the virtuosos they are.
Sonny Osborne’s banjo picking is as fiery as it gets and, oh, those famed trio harmonies.
Guess these three didn’t hate each other quite as much as some folks imply.
