FestivaLink.net presents Ralph Stanley and The Clinch Mountain Boys
Despite throat problems caused by local pollen, Dr. Stanley gave it his best. The band selected highlights that feature the instrumentals with a taste of Stanley vocal.
The band performed at MerleFest for the first time in several years; the audience clearly thought it was about time.
Players: Dr. Ralph Stanley (vocals, banjo) Jack Cooke (upright bass, vocals) James Shelton (acoustic guitar, vocals) Steve Sparkman (banjo, vocals) Dewey Brown (fiddle, vocals) Nathan Stanley (mandolin, vocals)
kudos to Doctor Ralph for releasing a download! This is a good band. I appreciated that he was willing to sing solos even with his hoarseness. A good document of the good dr.
