Jimmy Williams

b. c. 1930, USA. Chiefly playing mandolin, in the 50s Williams caused the Lonesome Pine Fiddlers, Macintosh Wiseman’s Country Guys as well as the Stanley Brothers. Struggling to make a satisfactory living from music, he proved helpful in an vehicle seed in Detroit, Michigan, after that in 1958 teamed up with vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Crimson Ellis to try out engagements and make information. The group’s music was a bluegrass and gospel blend that had a wide charm. With Cranford Nix (banjo) and Bobby Stiltner (bass), they documented ‘You Can’t Cover From God’, ‘Heading To A House’, ‘Future In His Hands’ and ‘Without Me’, these four game titles released by Starday Information as an EP. Using the music group members often keeping down day careers, the staff shifted and amongst others who documented with Williams and Ellis are George Woody (banjo), Ed Bryant (fiddle), and Virgil Shouse (bass). They produced even more EPs, for Starday and additional labels, including Content Hearts and Pathway, the second option a label started by Ellis. An recording release of the time includes products by their organizations, occasionally without Williams, and with some songs by other organizations. Williams and Ellis disbanded in 1961 and Williams became a full-time evangelical preacher. The set was reunited for just two recording program in the first 70s. Also during this time period Ellis, right now a television studio room technician, was associated with Cal Dring’s nation music display and was occasionally seen on-air performing songs. On the few events, Williams became a member of his previous partner upon this display. Both Ellis and Williams continuing to positively present music inside a spiritual framework through the 90s, with Williams undertaking his spiritual function in Florida.
