Quite possibly one of the best songs ever written. My personal request at every jam session ever. Side note: I love the sound on this video. You can really hear the nuances of the vocals/instruments.
You need to check the facts. Multi award winning 20 year old group. IBMA Male vocalist of the year for I believe 5 yrs. 7 year entertainiers of the year. One of the top vocalists in the business.
Big Spike Hammer - Cowritten by Leroy Drumm and Bobby Osborne Russell on lead vocals and the flatop guitar Steve Dilling - banjo, Edgar Loudermilk-bass
I know this is an old post, but I'm just curious why you compared this band to one that wasn't even from the same genre? Doesn't make much sense, like comparing Bach and AC/DC, it's not comparable.
Joshua Caleb me? I'm a banjo player, and a good one at that, but it'd be difficult for me to post a video, cause I don't know how to work youtube and I don't have recording equipment. but I'll try my best.
Can't you hear the ripple on my big spike hammer Lord it's bustin' my side I've done all I can do to keep that woman Still she's not satisfied Hey hey Delta May why do you treat me this-a-way Hey hey Delta May I'll get even some day I'm the best hammer swinger in this big section game Big Bill Johnson is my name Lord the hammer that I swing for a dollar and a half a day It's all for my Delta May Hey hey Delta May... [ banjo ] Now I've been lots of polaces not much I ain't done There's still lotta things I'd like to see Beats that hammer that I swing or the woman I love One's gonna be the death of me Hey hey Delta May... Big spike hammer big spike hammer
Russell has a great voice in this tune, but you want to hear a voice? Just check out an earlier tune on here called Blue Yodel #3.....DAMN! What a VOICE!!!
Hey everyone brand new to banjo here. Practicing my rolls in order to get up to this style of smooth rolling but I can’t seem to find any kind of tutorial or lesson to playing like this man. If anyone has anything to help me out I’d greatly appreciate it!
A lot of this, solos included, is note for note from the Bluegrass Album Band album.. which is cool, but also disappointing/lazy to hear a solo played nearly note for note from a popular album, especially in a genre like this that affords room for improvisation.
Great music but the blue jean and gothic button up shirts w dress shoes ruined it for me. They look like they just got back from a local acdc cover band show at the town bar. They should wear suits…. All bluegrass bands should wear suits hahaha
