'Whiskey Lullaby', The John Jorgenson Bluegrass Band

In his review on the IBMA website, Taylor Coughlin says: "On July 25, the too-fresh-for-a-bio John Jorgenson Bluegrass Band indulged the crowd at The Station Inn with the Seldom Scene hit Wait a Minute, written by Pedersen, Whiskey Lullaby written by Randall, Desert Rose Band tunes (Jorgenson and Pedersen were founders and bandmates), Scruggs classics, and more. There was warmth, and storytelling, and lots of laughter as this fresh band of legends invited Roland White, an old bandmate of Pedersen's from The New Kentucky Colonels days, onstage to play. Jorgenson asked White what instrument he should play, to which White replied, 'Is there anything you don't play?' White told Jorgenson to pick up the mandolin."

The John Jorgenson Bluegrass Band includes some of the best in bluegrass: Herb Pedersen on banjo, Jon Randall on guitar, and Mark Fain on bass.

That mandolin solo by JJ was beyond amazing!

[johnjohnson]

Really doesn't get much better than this

[valisaschmidley]

Jon Randall- one of Nashville’s BEST kept secrets, if not the most unsung. Giant talent and as humble as the day is long. Beautiful.

[calman]

Saw them sing this at a very small gig in Menai Bridge (north Wales). Probably one of the top five gigs I've been to, and I've seen quite a few.

[hagman]

Outstanding, Herb has been adding incredible harmony for decades and obviously still can.

[jordansollitto]

Wow...angelic harmonies and staggering musicianship.

[NickRatnieks]

As good as it gets! Great guys as well!

[lleifior]

Saw them at an intimate gig in n Wales last Sunday - blew away the audience. Best 20 dollars I ever spent. As Darlene says - "This ain't no cover"

My introduction to this song was by Brad Paisley. I nearly always like the introductory version best, but this flies in the face of my prejudices. This is a wonderful version.

[spadoukie]

This cut is an example of "Good stuff in..Good stuff out" You can always count on John Jorgenson to put together a fine band of top drawer musicians and an exquisite show. The band at this juncture had gigged live less than a half dozen times! Absolutely wonderful performance. Please share this video and get the word out.

[SchwartzDaddy]

Wow, I didn't know this even existed. I was at this show and it seemed like the whole place was holding their breath during this song!

[mbjorke]

I wish I'd known about this show.

[johnjohnson]

Can't hid behind much in this band either you can play or not.
