A bluegrass “character” in every sense, Jimmy unfortunately didn’t gain the widespread public recognition of Monroe, Flatt and Scruggs, or the Stanleys, but he has a special place in the hearts of all true traditonal bluegrass enthusiasts. Sunny came home to her favorite room Sunny sat down in the kitchen She opened a book and a box of tools Sunny came home with a mission She says days go by I'm hypnotized I'm walking on a wire I close my eyes and fly out of my mind Into the fire Sunny came home with a list of names She didn't believe in transcendence It's time for a few small repairs she said Sunny came home with a vengeance. His voice can be heard on such Bill Monroe classics as “Uncle Pen”, “0n and On”, and “Letter From My Darlin”, and he is best known for his classics, including “Hit Parade of Love”, “Sunny SIde of the Mountain” and “Sophronie”. He also played with the Osborne brothers for many years, and of course with his own band, the Sunny Mountain Boys, with J.D. Truly one of the all-time great bluegrass singers, the self-proclaimed “King of Bluegrass” was Bill Monroes’ lead singer in the Bluegrass Boys in the early 50’s.
