The Jim & Jesse Story

~ Release by Jim and Jesse (see all versions of this release, 1 available)

Annotation

Although the cover states "24 Greatest Hits", these are re-recorded versions (and should not be merged with 1950s/1960s recordings of the same songs).

Jesse McReynolds plays "mandolobro" on several tracks; this is described in the liner notes as "a four-string dobrolic body with a tenor guitar neck ... tuned like a mandola."
