"Jug or not Jug", this music his happy, perfect, in Key of. JoC...I like this and remember me my first "skiffle group" in France (copy of Lonnie Donegan-Chris Barber English skiffle group) in 1959...One "original Jug Band has not bass fiddle but one self made instrument with one cigar box and others things (?!?!)The comments by Bob Bo are rights and true.

A timeless tune from days of ole. It's not even about liquor but a way of life.... mountain music & dance when the weekend came after working hard during the week. This song favored before the soda mountain dew came into focus. And the religious nuts judge & criticize our fun of mountain hillbilly lifestyle, but they say ignorance Is blitz. I keep my mountain dew.
I just discovered the TMJ band this morning . WOW... you guys are GREAT . I have LOVED every video I have watched . This is the BEST "new" bluegrass group I have heard in a LONG LONG time . anywhere I can get in touch to buy some of your cd's ?
This band may do jug band songs,but having"Jug Band" in their name doesn't, mean everything they do is "jug band.."The song "Mountain Dew,"was written by Bescom Lamar Lunsford. I have Grandpa Jones doing it on King records cat.#554. Jug Band was, originally, indigenous to the South, invented in the 30s-40s by Black musicians >Memphis Jug Band, Canon's Jug Stompers etalJug bands frequently had a jug, washboard, wastub bass, guitar maybe kazoo,etc.There was a resurgence in the 60s-coffee houses.
...couldn't they have found any other name but one with 'mafia' in it? I think the dude with the jug and singing tenor must be Leroy's dad or bro?? ...just too much favor there!!
Absolutely wonderful rendition of the great classic.
Lester HIT THOSE HIGH NOTES! We miss you, bud.
Unbelievably talented musicians and entertainers! Wonderful version of an old time favorite.
This is what you call "feel good" music.
Can't go wrong with some good ol' Mountain Dew!
This is the most righteous music I have ever heard.
These guys make overalls look cool. Great job!
I'm just crazy for that LeRoy Troy'S song's everyone of them cracks me up and especially his facial expressions when singing a song. Lots of fun!!
Best version ever ;...cheers from Brazil

The best rendition of Mountain Dew bar none!
This is so badass... way to take this one back and do er justice boys! Great great cover
Saw them at Carter Fold.....amazing! I grew up listening to my uncle sing and play this style music. ❤

These boys are great!

Oh, so THAT'S where Mountain Dew comes from!
Very very good!
❤❤
Reminds me of McDavids Mountain down east
Fella in the back singing from experience
Quite true, just as having Mafia in their name doesn't mean they do Italian music either. None the less, they are great and well worth a listen.
Les Nessman is that you?
Love it
It’s true !

Anyone know if this is the band that wrote and performed "Trout Truck's a comin"

Well, there it is.........
The jug player is the guitar player's Dad. No relation to Leroy.
jug player is a brother oswald imitator ... banjo player is an uncle dave imitator ... fiddle player is a musician
nice.

From a time... and a country... that doesn't exist any more............................ WillyB
