Amazon.com Few country artists, among them Hank Williams, Bill Monroe, and the Louvin Brothers, have amassed such an impressive body of work as Ralph Stanley. On this simply amazing two-CD set, Stanley mines his musical legacy by inviting current country and bluegrass artists to record with his band in the studio, and a veritable who's-who jump at the opportunity. Dwight Yoakam, Laurie Lewis, Jim Lauderdale, Gillian Welch, BR5-49, Bob Dylan, and sundry others join the legendary claw-hammer banjo picker and rip through the Stanley Brothers songbook, prompting country troubadour Hal Ketchum to say, "Singing with Ralph Stanley is like painting with Picasso." --Tod Nelson Product Description This double CD features duets with Bob Dylan, George Jones, Tim Lauderdale, Dwight Yokum, Patty Loveless, Vince Gill, Ricky Skaggs, Diamond Rio, Porter Wagoner, Alison Krauss, Kathy Mattea, Kentucky Head Hunters, Claire Lynch and more! Review It's easy to understand why a sky full of country and folk stars--headed by Bob Dylan, Dwight Yoakam, and Vince Gill--would want to pay tribute to bluegrass giant Ralph Stanley.... The richness of the music begins with a total lack of songwriting artifice; these tunes are about conveying emotions, not selling records. It extends with sometimes exquisite, sometimes dissonant two- and three-part bluegrass harmonies that underscore the sweetness of life when it's good and the heartbreak when it's not. -- Los Angeles Times
