First, I just gotta say that that album cover is kind of creepy. There’s Jimmy Martin, Mr. “King of Bluegrass,” wearing his best pair of boots and keeping his eyes on the great beyond -- while standing next to his own grave. Guess that’s immortality of some sort. But anyhow, here’s Martin & gang hot-picking through Tom T. Hall’s “Pete, The Best Coon Dog in the State of Tennessee.”
Now boys, get the skillet, some flour and grease,
We're gonna have a big coon to eat.
Old Pete's got'im a-runnin' and he'll tree'im, I say,
He's the best coon dog in the state of Tennessee today.
