This live session recording has not been mastered and therefore, is not high quality,
but "Potluck" hopes you can get the flavor of our music.
Jim, with Potluck Words & Music by Huddie Leadbetter ("Leadbelly")
This is a famous tune by Leadbelly, actually written about & sung for the Louisiana Governor, in an effort to gain early release. It worked!
Words & music by Tommy Thompson
Jim, with Potluck & great harmony
Made Potluck think of this old movie!
Words and Music by John Davenport and Eddie Cooley
Barb, with Potluck
This tune of course made famous by one Miss Peggy Lee!
Mr. Bush slappin that ole bass - great sound on this tune!
COAL TATTOO.MP3
Words & Music by Billy Ed Wheeler
Kyle, with Potluck
On a personal note, Kyle, whose father is a retired Presbyterian minister, grew up in a coal camp in West Va., where his father was pastor of a church. He loves this tune and just about anywhere we go, we do it. Kyle does it in a soulful way, remembering what it was like in that old camp. A few years back, he had a recurring dream about the camp and he was compelled to actually visit the old coal town. All the old houses in the camp were gone and nothing looked the same. He said he was glad he went and took his family with him; he never had that dream again after his visit.
EARLY MORNIN' RAIN.MP3
Words & Music by Gordon Lightfoot
Jim, with Potluck

This tune is a favorite of Jim's and of his generation as well. As Jim says, "we can identify!"
Words & music by Jimmy Martin & Paul Williams
Kyle, with Potluck
Now this is real Bluegrass, folks!

Jim, with Potluck Bluemoon.mp3
Words&Music by Richard Rogers & Lorenz Hart
This is a fun tune that has found popularity in just about every decade since the 1940s. The band loves this Bluegrass version.
Kyle, with Potluck, doin' the HAND JIVE! - Give it a try!
Words & Music - Johnny Otis
Best know version by Bo Diddley - sure would have liked to have seen Spock do the Hand-Jive, but we'll settle for Kyle singin' & playin' it!
A COUPLE MORE FROM ANOTHER TIME:
One of Jim's favorite HEART tunes: Jim, Vocal & Guitar
Words & Music by Marshall Wilborn
Jim heard this song on an Allison Kraus CD and immediately loved it.
This version was recorded by Jim on home recording equipment.
Kyle, playing a Haunting Banjo solo
Written By: Lee Marcus
Listen as the train rumbles along the mountain side and around the bends!
This tune was recorded on an old Tascam home recorder, with a little special effects added on a computer with "Audacity."
There are recorded songs on every page of our site.
Keep on goin' friend!
And now, BANJO JOKES
Potluck loves to get under Kyle's skin!
