More great, stunning bluegrass... hot stuff!!

Joe Sixpack -- Slipcue.com | ...in Middle America | 05/14/2003

(5 out of 5 stars)

"More classic material by the Stanley Brothers. Although the wind had largely gone out of bluegrass music by the time of these late-'50s/early '60s recordings, the haunting quality of the Stanleys still comes through loud and clear. Once again, it's a bit odd to hear these slower, stripped-down versions of songs that have since become amped-up standards in the modern bluegrass canon. Tunes like "How The Mountain Girls Can Love," "Man Of Constant Sorrow" and even comedy routines like "How Far To Little Rock" (which Ralph Stanley still does in concert!) sound ancient and antiquated, even though it's a thrill to hear Dr. Ralph singing with his youthful voice. This is also a good chance to hear Ralph's sizzling banjo work, back when he could still to the lightning-fast stuff. Nice collection that whittles their Stanrday years down pretty nicely. Recommended!"
