Description: "Rocky Top" is one of the most well-known bluegrass songs. It became popular when the Osborne Brothers released it in 1967. With the recent passing of Sonny Osborne, we wanted to honor him and show our appreciation for all that he contributed to the music we love. One question we are getting a lot is about the mics and the wind. We specifically faced the direction that would help our bodies block a lot of the wind and then our audio engineer, Troy, is a genius! Another question we always get is about which mics we use, and they are handcrafted ones from Ear Trumpet Labs that we were able to buy thanks to our Patreon community. All the models are named after grandmothers, and we use a Louise and two smaller Edwina. ►Dig into more detail: Ear Trumpet Labs website eartrumpetlabs.com A look at their workshop youtu.be/IF4o9RjG0r8 Clip: Why we use different set ups youtu.be/R85jTQFYxsA?t=1126 ►2020 Branson Show version youtu.be/hQqks9HnVNM?t=4565 Buy or stream Live Sessions, Vol. 04 li.sten.to/livesessions04 ►More bluegrass: Steel Rails youtu.be/mgfNnLPtH1M?t=1689 Carolina in the Pines youtu.be/UpStDgySVQI I Feel the Blues Moving In youtu.be/Ry_Nh3slMgI Kentucky Borderline youtu.be/mgfNnLPtH1M?t=1689 ----------------------- ►Useful links: YouTube About page youtube.com/c/ThePetersens/about Most asked questions petersenband.com/about-the-petersens Join our Patreon community patreon.com/thepetersens Subscribe to our channel youtube.com/c/thepetersens?sub_confirmation=1 Sign up to our email list eepurl.com/dxRRaX Get It Mama Fan Club facebook.com/groups/getitmama Show and tour dates petersenband.com/show-dates Buy or stream our music li.sten.to/thepetersens ►Social media: Instagram instagram.com/thepetersens Facebook facebook.com/petersenband Twitter twitter.com/thepetersens Band members petersenband.com/about-the-petersens Go behind the scenes with @The Petersen Family ►This video: Lead vocal and banjo: @Ellen Haygood Harmony vocal and guitar: @Matt Petersen Harmony vocal and mandolin: Pookie (our pet name for @Julianne) Fiddle: @Katie Petersen Dobro: Emmett Franz Bass: Karen Petersen Turn on captions (CC) to see the lyrics on screen.
