Bluegrass pioneer Dr. Ralph Stanley has been one of the guiding forces in traditional music since the early 20th century. Not only is he a fantastic force on the banjo but his high and lonesome sound of singing has been the definition of oldtime. Ralph is truly a link to the past I hope you enjoy this video of him performing the classic "O'Death" which he made famous in the film "O'Brother Where Art Thou".
This recording is from the the 2008 Old Settlers Music Festival in Austin Texas. Held annually every 3rd week in April.
