Sally Goodin

It's time to end the week the way we started it, with more great fiddle and banjo music! This time I finally got to film a cut with Kentucky Thunders own phenomenal fiddle man Mike Barnett. We hope you enjoy our take on this classic tune.

All the best and keep rollin,

RC

Best version of this old standard I’ve ever heard.My dad was a fiddle and mandolin player. He sadly passed in 1987. He would have absolutely loved Mikes fiddle playing.

If two instruments were meant to be played together it would be fiddle and Scruggs Style banjo. One of the most beautiful sounds in the world to me.

Brought joy to a 70 year old man! Sounded so much like my dad I almost cried. I sure miss playing rhythm for my dad's great fiddle playing. Love your posts because they are always so

A lot of Eck Robertson in that fiddle. Great job Russ and Mike.

I've just blundered onto this and it's about the best rendition I have ever heard . How did I miss this for so long ...I don't know, but I'm so glad I found it . Does anyone know how Mike is doing ? How goes the rehab ? I've searched, and donated, but I can't find out any new news about his recovery ... help . Russ, I cannot find new posts from you . Are you tired, retired, too busy, or what ? I miss your stuff ...thank you brother

I mean... it doesn't get any better than that. Absolutely spectacular arrangement, pickin and fiddlin on a challenging song

Totally steeped in Tradition but with a fresh I still enjoy hearing this and playing this attitude. Russ, Mike, as good as I've ever heard. I'm a fan.

[mikedandar]

Always cool how music sounds in the rooms prior to the stage. 👍👍👍

[LoneRevD]

Thanks for that, good way to start a Saturday afternoon!

Spectacular!! I saw Ricky Skaggs & Kentucky Thunder for the first time at Oceanlakes Campground in Myrtle Beach and it was the best live bluegrass band I've ever heard and I've seen em all. It took me 40 years to see Ricky live and it was a stunning performance of bluegrass by the entire band. So very tight and talented.

Thanks Russ & Mike, this video screams talent! Thanks for sharing it with us, we appreciate it so much.

Wonderful!....Let's put this on repeat for a little bit.

[davidlundmark]

Great stuff, Sally Goodins is one of my favourites!

[braderrick]

Sounding great, those 6 guys sitting around you 2 seem to like it too.

[jayjuliecooper]

Can't wait to see you guys at the Birchmere!

[marcdunn]

Absolutely brilliant.
I wonder if that minor change was planned or if Russ just rolled with it?

[banjomag]

Hell yeah! Keep it coming, probably my favorite format and you guys nail it!

[gradywhite]

I love listening to how earl scruggs played backup especially on fiddle tunes. You may have him beat. Well done!
