Jim and Jesse To
Appear at Shindig
(Editor’s Note) The
following article Is a
biographical sketch of Jim
and Jesse, the country*
western music stars who will
be performing at Shindig at
Cripple Creek on June 21.
Jim and Jesse were born in
Coeburn, Virginia to a
family well-versed in
traditional music. There is
something, however, which
goes beyond the music itself -
something which is the result
of growing up singing
together, sharing the same
musical background and
influences - something that
makes two voices sound like
they belong together. There
is no mistaking the harmony
of Jim and Jesse
Mcßeynolds. After amateur
local performances they
began, in 1947, to work their
way up the ladder of live
radio broadcasts and per
sonal appearences
throughout the Souheast.

Success was official when, in
1964, they were asked to Join
the Grand Ole Opry. From
the beginning they have used
bluegrass-type ac
companiment, and their
band, the Virginia Boys, has
always featured both five
string banjo and fiddle. Jim
Mcßeynolds plays guitar
and sings a clear, polished
tenor that distinguishes Jim
and Jesse vocals from those
of most bluegrass groups.
Jesse’s mandolin playing is
likewise a characteristic.
“Mcßeynolds” - or “cross
picking”, is a fast alter
nation of repeated melodic
patterns that few have
successfully imitated. Jim
and Jesse’s music is clean
and precise, a unique
balance to the drive and
force typical of bluegrass
music.
After joining the Opry, Jim
and Jesse won acclaim with
the larger national country
music audience, towards
which bluegrass fans often
hold some degree of
hostility. Jim and Jesse have
bridged the gap successfully,
however. While sometimes
using electric backup in
struments (guitar, pedal
steel, bass) as tastes and
acoustics require before a
live country music audience
or in their syndicated
television show, they have
continued to be favorites of
the bluegrass crowds, ap
pearing with straight
bluegrass accompaniment at
festivals and concerts.

Why you should add
to your feeding program
With feed at 5< per pound and cattle selling at
351 a pound, an investment of less than $l.OO
per head for AUREO S 700 and AUREOMYCIN®
returned $5.75 in five commercial trials.
When cattle arrive at your
feedlot, they’ve been stressed and
exposed to a variety of disease
organisms. Start them with a con
ditioning feed containing AUREO
S7OO and feed it for the first
28 days. AUREO S 700 maintains
weight gams in the presence of
shipping fever.

most interesting country

of their most recent hits was
a single entitled “Freight

by the same title on the
Capitol label. Jim and Jesse
have Just recently signed
with the new Opryland label
which is also distributed
through Capitol. Bluegrass
fans have not been com
pletely slighted, however,
for much of their newer
material (e.g. "Snowbird”)
has been tastefully adapted
to bluegrass. Their popular
album MANDOLIN
WORKSHOP, is strictly
instrumental and will con
tradict any claims to neglect
of bluegrass. Jim and Jesse,
for nearly a decade, have
proven themselves to be one
of the most talented and
versatile acts in country
music.
