The high-lonesome, mournful tenor of Ralph Stanley is perhaps the greatest voice ever to emerge from Appalachia. Indisputably the elder statesman of old-time mountain music—whether singing his signature tune "Man Of Constant Sorrow" or his definitive, a cappella version of "Oh Death," the centerpiece of the O Brother, Where Art Thou? Phenomenon—Stanley is one of the most prolific recording artists in American history. He came to fame playing with his older brother Carter as half of The Stanley Brothers, and later as leader of the Clinch Mountain Boys. He has performed on more than 170 bluegrass, country, and gospel records over the course of six decades. We are proud to welcome back Ralph Stanley & the Clinch Mountain Boys.
