Join Popcorn Sutton and J.B. as they do what they do best, one last time. This film is unavailable ANYWHERE as it was Mr Sutton's to distribute personally and I felt that it was worth sharing. Film maker NEAL HUTCHESON- 2009 Emmy Award winner- created this outstanding work of art. I own no copyrights to this film. Credit goes to the film maker, Neal Hutcheson, and Popcorn Sutton. R.I.P Mr. Sutton.- You are missed. - WildlifeSeriaLKiller

Hearty souls like Mr. Sutton are a rare find. Enjoy the eleven part series.

I received a jar of Popcorn’s finest years ago from a friend in NC. Very smooth stuff.

[Slump Tester]

Wow! Many thanks!

You can also google and find this as an 8 part 800Mb rar download. (I'm assuming it'll be an avi.)

I’ve got a mason jar of his whiskey in the cabinet. The man made quite a bit.

Out. Freaking. Standing.

Bookmarked, and thanks for sharing.

Yes Popcorn was a legend around east Tennessee/western North Carolina. I remember watching his moonshine making instructional videos way back in the early ‘90s. He thumbed his nose at authority.

My grandpa made moonshine, and my Daddy ran it in the 1940s, but they didn’t advertise it (LOL) like Popcorn did.

I met Popcorn in Todd, North Carolina back in the early 70’s. He was at the General Store and treated me to a ‘taste’.

Ended up buying 4 quarts. Holy cow that was a good year!

Your assumption would be correct, a 733.3 MB avi replete with intro and credits.
And a good find at that!
Love that tag line!

Thanks for the ping.

Last night the wife was wrapping gifts and I was flipping through the channels, I’m not a big fan of TV.

The Discovery channel had a show called the Moonshiners so I started watching it and in a little bit there was Popcorn Sutton.

Quite a coincidence and he was quite a charcter. :-)

[girlangler]

He was proud of his product.

Thanks for posting. Bookmarked.

Amazing video, enjoyed it very much.

Wiki has a lot about him. He was busted in 2009 by the same ATF pig who was big at Waco, and committed suicide rather than do 18 months in the federal pen.

Here's an interesting article about a book by his estranged daughter.

While it sounds like he wasn't ever much of a father, she seems to be treating him well.

Another one you may enjoy is The Wild & Wonderful Whites of West Virginia. There's also about 3 or 4 spinoffs documenting the same family members at different points in time.

I'm sure they're on Youtube, but you can easy find them for download with Google.

Would this be the infamous Jesco White, The Dancing Outlaw?
I'll check it out.
