Jim Eanes, born Homer Robert Eanes Jr. on December 6, 1923, in Mountain Valley, Virginia, was an American singer and guitarist known for his contributions to bluegrass and country music. He learned to play the guitar at a young age and received his first musical training as a rhythm guitarist in his father's string band. In 1940, Eanes joined Roy Hall's Blue Ridge Entertainers, performing on a radio station in Roanoke, Virginia until 1943. He later performed with Flatt & Scruggs and Bill Monroe's Bluegrass Boys. In 1951, he formed The Shenandoah Valley Boys and signed with Decca Records, transitioning to country music. One of his most popular songs, "Your Old Standby", became his signature song. Eanes died on November 21, 1995.
