Jimmy Martin: King of Bluegrass: The Life and Times of Jimmy Martin (2003)

"King of Bluegrass", "The Life and Times of Jimmy Martin" documents bluegrass legend Jimmy Martin's lifelong quest to reach his childhood dream of becoming a regular member on the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tennessee. Known for his flamboyant dress, crazed hunting trips, and brash behaviour, Martin is the rebel figure of bluegrass music. From 1949 to 1954 Martin was the lead singer and guitarist for bluegrass pioneer Bill Monroe's Blue Grass Boys, helping form the "High Lonesome Sound" that is so widely regarded today.
