Ronnie McCoury

[BuckeyeDog]

Am listening to some of the recordings of Yonder from TBF, McCoury is a very impressive mandolin player. I Know you Rider is quite a song.

[Hot Sugar]

Ronnie's one of the best in the world. Jeff brought an energy to Yonder that no one else can, because it was uniquely Jeff. And his songwriting was a huge asset for the band, but Ronnie is simply a better mandolin player. I thought this year's main stage set was one of their best in recent years.

I know that Ronnie won't become a permanent member of the band, but I thoroughly enjoyed him playing with the band.

This is a sweet Yonder show from Asheville earlier this year, the Sheriff's Saga second set is quite a treat ...Entire show featuring Ronnie McCoury on mandolin and Jason Carter on fiddle.

I had several opportunities to stand very close to Ronnie McCoury when he was playing at DelFest, and the guy is unbelievable. The fingers of his left hand are literally a blur, and yet his tone is so sweet.

I listened to (and taped) the YMSB set from TBF on KOTO as it happened, and it was just fantastic. Jason Carter is also just tops.
