Rest in peace James. Sure wish I'd had an opportunity to meet you. And my book one of the best bluegrass singers and writers that ever lived. Miss hearing new music everyday.
James was a legend that didn't get the recognition he deserved. He played a festival for me not long before he passed, as sick as he was he still insisted on finishing his set. Never forget him
Though I thought I had closed it So tightly before I can't understand it Why it should bother my mind For it all belongs to another place and time Just a few old keep-sakes Way back on the shelf No, they don't mean nothin' Well I'm surprised they're still left Just a few old love letters With the edges all brown And an old faded picture I keep turned upside-down Just a few old memories Going way back in time Well I can hardly remember I don't know why I'm cryin' I can't understand it Well I'm surprised myself First thing tomorrow morning I'll clean off that shelf Just a few old keep-sakes Way back on the shelf No, they don't mean nothin' Well I'm surprised that they're left Just a few old love letters With their edges all brown And an old faded picture I keep turned upside-down
Thanks, HMC! Love his singing and playing!! Of course, miss King King the most!! Thanks for posting this clip. I watch it several times each and every week!
James, you were one of the best bluegrass singers. You sang with so much feeling - straight from the heart
probably my fav song that James King ever sang... a great one written by Hazel Dickens! RIP, James King....your music will live on in my home

One of my favorite Hazel Dickens song, and what a great version by James King.

No drinking and listening to this one...might just never wake up.
I've known James a long time and the band just keeps getting better, very good job with A Few Old Memories.
Just saw him tonight he's in bad shape needs a liver transplant.

j adore cette chancon
This is the first James king sang at a slower pace that i heard he seemed to excel at what ever he sang wish he could have been around a lot longer.
RIP James
Though I thought I had closed it
So tightly before
I can't understand it
Why it should bother my mind
For it all belongs to another place and time
Just a few old keep-sakes
Way back on the shelf
No, they don't mean nothin'
Well I'm surprised they're still left
Just a few old love letters
With the edges all brown
And an old faded picture
I keep turned upside-down
Just a few old memories
Going way back in time
Well I can hardly remember
I don't know why I'm cryin'
I can't understand it
Well I'm surprised myself
First thing tomorrow morning
I'll clean off that shelf
Just a few old keep-sakes
Way back on the shelf
No, they don't mean nothin'
Well I'm surprised that they're left
Just a few old love letters
With their edges all brown
And an old faded picture
I keep turned upside-down
Met james in bonham texas with eva and Brenda great man
Best version by far.

Ron Spears: mandolin. Bobby Davis on bass
