Me to and i wish there would bring it back. I know it would touch a lot of people and it would bring them to the Lord.

Mom sung with Hank Snow and she knew the Solemn Old Judge, String Bean, Marty Robbins.. Hank used to come over when I was young, and drink OJ and Vodka and sing for us at the ol Kitchen Table!! He called my Grandmother "Mother".

Being from Kngsport myself... I know Ralph very well and I'm glad to see that Ralph is finally getting the respect he deserves.... He is really a great man !!!

Is this actually a recording from the "Stanley Brothers" era (which ended in 1966 with the death of Ralph's brother Carter), or is this from the time that Ralph Stanley became a solo act? If it's actually a Stanley Brothers recording, it seems odd that it was recorded with only Ralph Stanley on vocal. Carter Stanley's incomparable lead vocal was usually heard on the brothers recordings, and I only hear Ralph's tenor voice here.

I bought the soundtrack to "O Brother, Where Are't Thou." It was the first time I'd ever heard of Ralph Stanley. I've since purchased more of his work.

@Zebra902 That's nice to hear. I'm glad you like Ralph and his music. His vocals and his banjo style is one of the most hard-driving styles that there is. He inspired me to pick a banjo, other than Earl Scruggs, Dock Boggs, Don Stover, and Charlie Poole.

@Zebra902 Same here. This the power that a good movie can have.
