About the Group Jim and Jesse McReynolds starting getting some attention in 1953 when they were performing over WCYB in the Bristol, Tennessee area. They were known to sing a 'smooth duet' and good instrumentalists. Both of them were natives of Coeburn, Virginia where growing up they learned the folk songs of Kentucky, West Virginia, North Carolina and Tennessee. Their mother and father were also musically inclined and helped inspire their love for the old hillbilly music at an early age. Jim played the guitar and bass fiddle and sang tenor. Jesse played nearly any stringed instrument, but became known for his style of mandolin playing. They caught the attention of the Capitol Records folks and recorded a few sides with them, including "Are You Missing Me" and "I'll Wash Your Love From My Heart". Credits & Sources
