These are such beautiful songs and so beautifully crafted musically that I could listen to them every day, even by breakfast. Way to go guys. Keep going.
Kentucky... Sonny's smile and expression at the change of key....and the audience's appreciation of this.....says all you need to know about the Osborne Brothers, and what they have meant to America and it's real music. Did you ever see a more attentive audience.........of professionals....? This is truly awesome stuff.... James Hennighan Yorkshire, England
With the recent passing of bobby it hurts my heart that these boys didn't get the attention they deserved they came up through the ranks with the best of em held their own and earned their spot they're as genuine as any other bluegrass band as well if not more grass roots love to hear their story
When I was about 16 in 1975 my older sister tried to explain the amazing talent of this band, but I was into Rock and had no interest. I'm so much older now (63) and my sister ❤, has long passed into Heaven. . I just wish I could tell her how right she was ❤.
thats awful sweet whart you wrote, yes there were a lot i wish i could talk tosome of my folks especcialy my wife who passed away jan 27th of this year i talk to her every morning and every night
yes they were good , have you listened to any of my music?sign on to Powell260 I have about 25 to 30 songs on there Make sure if you go on that you play Old Bones. George Burns sang this song when he was 100 years old High ball in one hand and a cigar in the other. I think you will enjoy it
Gorgeous singers, genius instrumentalists, Superb singing/harmonies as only The Osborne Brothers can do! Thank God for Bluegrass Music and Thank God for Kentucky~
Yes I certainly agree. Everyone loves where they grew up usually, but for me Kentucky with all of its rolling hills, mountains in the south with Black bears, the birth place of Bluegrass music.. ah I could never leave it
Somebody needs to write this song. I listen to your songs under my pillow... .*I can finish this,,,but someone else will. Keep Country In Country Music.
I saw these great brothers in the early ‘70s & thought they were the greatest Blue Grass singers I’d ever seen!! I wish I’d seen them more - but they travelled & I stayed in VA, married & had a family!!💕. But I always loved Country & good Blue Grass Music….& these guys were the best Blue Grass I’ve ever heard!!! It’s 2023 now & I’m 67 ~ still love the old Country & Blue Grass Music!!!!❤️🌈🌻🦋🌺💖
Before Sonny died, the audience was spellbound at the Ryman, in the studio, or wherever because of the atmosphere generated by the Osbornes from Kentucky. The Everly version was also superb but with a different rhythm. I first heard this favorite song in Shreveport, LA as sung in 1949 by Johnny & Jack on KWKH radio and the Louisiana Hayride........wonderful memories!
Spot on Sharon..........that change of key is just awesome......and the audience acknowledge this in their appreciation. James Hennighan Yorkshire, England
Děkuji Bohu za dar snění. Vy Američané nemůžete pochopit co tahle muzika pro nás čechoslováky znamená!!! Dávala nám možnost se ve snách přenést přes železnou oponu do svobodné Ameriky a o víkendu na trampu u táboráku si zazpívat trampské, country a bluegrassové písně. Už jenom že jsme si mohli dát na hlavu stetson s liščím ocasem pro nás hodně znamenalo a pro mně stále znamená !!! 🤠🔥🪕🎻🇺🇸🤝🇨🇿👏🏻👍🫡
Like the competition for best baseball player of all time is really only for second place [after Babe Ruth] the competition for best Bluegrass vocalists is really only one for second place [after these guys] . There's a reason Jean Shepherd paid them the ultimate tribute - again, how the hell can there be 10 people who actually gave this a thumbs down?
The poorest of my momma's side was my Grand Pa Davis; her daddy. Grand Pa could plow straight and was completely honest. He left home of most beautiful Kentucky with a third grade education, traveled west and ended up in Oklahoma. Hard work, kindness and happiness is what my family and I witnessed a few summers ago. As for just me. From the Grapes of Wrath to lushious deep dark streams of Kentucky, I am free. Wish I could write better.
This is tremendous - Osborne Bros later in their career together but still hitting it. Terry Smith, their bass player at the time, on the trio. Yeah, he's chewing gum which ain't real pro for sure, but he is one. Wonder if Sonny said something to him about the gum chewing after this was aired! Connie Smith is NOT in the audience. The beautiful blonde at 3:24 is Eliz Cook. Bill Anderson is NOT grimacing at the beginning. His looks is one of those "wow" reactions to their harmony. Anyway, these are some super trios.
@@gwhitfield4239 I just watched it again. If it's Faith she sure looks identical to Eliz. Anyway, no need to disagree - the main thing is the great performance, as always, by the Osbornes.
Well, several have asked who the blonde and brunette are. Took a little exploring. The blonde is 'almost' certainly Goldie Hill, and the brunette is certainly Chalee Tennison. Be hard to find a couple of gals more attractive. An aside...at the end of the rendition of Kentucky, while the folks are giving Bobby and Sonny a standing O, Bill says "Eddie Stubbs, you have a way commenting on a performance like this." (loosely, cause it's been a few years ago) and Eddie says "Any questions?" I guess that does sum it up. I had saved this installment of CFR on my dvr but let it get away. If you are a fan of Country's Family Reunion, you might catch a repeat of this episode with the Osbornes.
They still did a great job on this song all them years after they perfected it . When they first did this song Wow It would bring the chill bumps on the neck and arms . Great job by two legends
I HAVE NO IDEA I HAVE SOME NICE MUSIC ON THERE GO TO, POWELL260 AND PLAY OLD BONES DO YOU KNOW WHO SANG THAT SONG, GEORGE BURNS HE WAS 100 YEARS OLD WHEN HE DID THIS SONG,He had a cigar in one hand and a shot of whiskey in the other
Who is the man in the middle? Somebody help me out.. I won't be able to sleep tonight . I should know but I'm drawing a blank. Where are you Greg Allen ?
