James King will always be remembered as one of the greats, leaving a legacy of excellent music. His work with the bluegrass super group Longview produced some of the best traditional bluegrass in recent decades and his last album, 2013’s Three Chords and the Truth, received a Grammy nomination for Best Bluegrass Album. In September 2014, he was inducted into the Virginia Country Music Hall of Fame.
