Bluegrass Great Sonny Osborne has died of a stroke at the age of 83. I grew up listening quite often to the sounds of The Osborne Brothers and the great Bill Monroe- my father was a big fan of both artists. I still have some of my father’s old records. Here is The Osborne Brother’s most famous song ‘Rocky Top.’ Sonny is the one introducing the song- his brother Bobby does the singing- Sonny playing the banjo.
I also grew up listening to these two. Sad to hear he passed on, but he had a great run and left a big legacy.
Brother Bobby- turns 90 in December.
I guess Im going on an Osborne jag tomorrow.
Can’t go wrong there!
