The first time I ever heard J & J was 1978 at the Grand Ol' Opry. I had never heard harmony like that before. They were so great, and super good people too. Love this tonk song by them.
I watched Jim & Jesse at a small place in Phoenix....every time Jesse played the Mandolin the small crowd went crazy....Jesse is super talented and it was nice to see them honored by the Kennedy Center for the Arts...
im trying really hard to learn that crosspicking thing on mandolin that jesse does there, its really hard to make it sound so smooth! thanks for posting this video!
Ira and Charlie put several songs in their wives names to get around publishing contracts;Anne Young was wife number five who died in the car crash.On the Louvins last album recorded after they split up,co-write credits go to Anne and not Charlie.She can be heard singing, uncredited,on Ira's only solo album. We are both agreed that this is a really excellent song,given a wonderful rendition here.I never realised what a class act Jim and Jesse are until i started watching these clips.
Here's what i know.The Louvin Brothers box set has a list of songs written, but not recorded by the brothers.A third writer Irene Frank is named.Some time ago a British t.v. documentary showed Charlie singing this song,and hementions that it was one of the last songs written by Ira.
thanks for this. fantastic harmony and mean fiddle playing! can anyone please find ''tennessee central #9'' by jim and jesse? only heard it once but it stuck in my memory. by the way, does anybody else get the feeling they were born too late? thank goodness for you tube!
It isn't even on Keith that the bass is too high. He's not gonna be able to tell from stage. It could have been the mixer's fault or it just could be the video posted has the bass too high.
Jim was definitely one of the GOATS of high tenors.

This is an absolutely superb song and performance!!! Never get tired of hearing it. Brilliant song writing by Ira Louvin, too!
Happy Birthday Jesse! 87 years young!.....congratulations on a wonderful life.

This is my all time favorite J & J song. Keith (playing bass) was such a good friend to me. I miss you Keith!
how did keith end up dying?
He had MS
Great music from Jim & Jesse the best,
How come they don't record good songs like this any more?
What an awesome mandolin solo....so very different in approach.
Oh that tenor!!
JIM &JESSE ARE ONE OF THE KIND.
Awesome harmony between these 2 !!
Had the pleasure of seeing them live at the Everett's Music Barn in Suwanee,Ga. back in the 80's🎸🎸🎸
The 3 cleanest-purest-no strain tenors of our time - Jim McReynolds-Ira Louvin-Don Rich.
