Ralph Stanley - Man of Constant Sorrow

[allen30577]

@respond2cowards You really want that again? 400 Thousand Yankee's laid dead at the hands of the south which was 25% of the "Northern Population" including all immigrants they forced into Military Service. Always out numbered but still slaughtered stupids Yankee's like you by the thousands. Know your History before you run your mouth, Uneducated Yankee smuck.

[skipalux]

@allen30577 notice the pure anger that only inbreeding and a culture rich in failure can bring to a man. If you don't care for the Union move somewhere else, your worthless kin lost time to move on or go somewhere else

@allen30577

You're not a Ralph Stanley fan if'n you don't have ary "Dr. Ralph Stanley for President" bumper sticker.

[shetex]

Saw them last night in Tyler, Texas and they are FABULOUS.

[Pasovineyard]

I shook Ralphs hand a couple of decades ago. Stand up guy.

[Fruscianteistheman]

the guy on the far left looks like dwight shrute, which made this video 100/5 stars.

[BackRowRunner]

I can not believe ya'll have turned this song into a reason to argue politics!!!

IDIOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[margolou2010]

@BackRowRunner Agreed; while I listened to this great old school bluegrass I scrolled down to see what people had to say about it, and got hit in the face with hate-talk. About Ralph Stanley; this is the first time I ever heard him, and I think he's up there with Bill Monroe.

@respond2cowards You are correct the democrat party is supported by the nere-do-wells of the world. All the trash that want everything GIVEN to them are liberal democrats. Usless worthless human garbage. I'm poor, white and a republcan. everything I have I earned. I live south of new orleans and got shit from the government after katrina cause even poor, I had enough brains to have insurance. Instead of having new nikes and bling bling I bought insurance. How stupid was I????

[pousercore]

Long live the Working Class. We work for everything we have earned.

[bulldog4evr]

F%&* Democrats...!!!!! Blacks, Gays and everyother person who doesnt wanna work votes for them bastards. Yall dont even wanna drill for oil in your own F*&$ing country..instead you want to spend money we dont have to save the earth..F*@# yall Bit&^s!!!

[haitipi]

@respond2cowards

I loved Ralph Stanley but I don't care what party he's in. I don't belong to one ,myself.

A lot of Stanley fans object to the Democrat Party's support of Slavery, the KKK, and segregation. Among other evils.

[TheBuzzardsGlory]

Dr. Stanley is amazing. I got him to sign my banjo a few days ago.

[Donnie88and3]

One classy guy....

A legend!

[itsmeagain492]

Dr. Ralph Stanley, We all love you, "you are the man".

[OneKewpie]

It's so interesting to read comments from his family, or kin. You are all blessed to be related to Ralph Stanley and his family. God bless you all. ~OneKewpie~

[1800viper]

I like this guy I really do.

[MegaDixieman]

[Xiloveyou1616X]

Ralph stanley is my great great uncle. <3

He sang at my fathers funeral in 2005.

I cant seem to rember the name of the song he sang.

But Ralph Stanley is a great and caring man.

[watch129]

I'm not from Haysi but from Clintwood. My mom was a Stanley and kin to Ralph. We used to go by his house and listen to him play on his front pro9ch all the time.

[Jitters10]

@watch129 Ralph's my cousin. I'm in the Rose family--part of the Dotson and Flemings.

[cmevans4446]

This song was the favorite of my husband's uncle................It was played at his uncle's funeral yesterday. R.I.P. DEAR FRIEND!

[OttieBlue]

[TruegrassBoy]

Ralph Stanley has more honesty, class and dignity in the tip of his little finger than do all the other musicians in the world added up.

[GirlieMay09]

[BanjoPlayer13]

Yes, that is his grandson Nathan on Mandolin.

[dwiganstube]

I have to disagree, his greatest song is little Maggie!

[grimglen]

agreed!

[SirCoughsalot]

That's Ralph's grandson on the mandolin, correct?

[Kelsie154]

always has been, always will be.

[WilderPIlger]

great music. but why do they always have to wear those funny looking, ugly hats?

[cobr3n]

Ralph Stanley is awesome!!

I went to the "Down From the Mountain Tour" a few years back in St. Louis. He was supposed to perform but was sick that day.

I hope I get a chance to hear him perform live.

[MCristianMyers]
