Summary: The real thing
Comment: Ralph Stanley is from a world seldom heard from these days in commercially successful recordings. This music has an earthy, deeply Southern heart--from the poor, dirt farmer South--not entirely possible to imitate, though very enjoyable facsimiles of the feel of it have been made in successful recordings by The Byrds, The Band, The Grateful Dead and others, who nonetheless always sound a bit like they're imitating something when they do it.
This is the real thing. The vocals, harmonies, instrumentals (Curly Ray Cline's fiddle, in particular) have a rough, astringent, yet sweet twang that has been polished and cleaned by performers such as Alison Krauss, to rather different if also very fine effect. It's hard to imagine that this sound could come from anyone who didn't grow up where and how Stanley did. There's something elemental about it, but with its own very strong and unique flavor. It's the sound of a very particular way of living hardship and joy.
There are already some very helpful reviews of this CD, so I won't repeat what others have said. I just wanted to add my voice to the little chorus here: this is great American music that you've probably never heard quite the likes of anywhere else. If you liked it in the movie, or like the samples here, you won't be disappointed. Except maybe that there isn't more of it on the disc!

Summary: got a short time to stay here and a long time to be gone
Comment: The (over)production here is a bit slick -- the giddy fiddle and animatronic banjo combo make me a little queasy on some of the songs. Stanley vibrates his nasal septum like a sax reed. If your scrotum needs tightening, this will do it.

Summary: Man this one kicks!
Comment: Here I am only half way through the CD and motivated enough to write such a positive review! This album kicks!

Summary: Scary Good
Comment: It was only a matter of time before greater America woke up to Bluegrass music, the big-beat music with no drums that's been in our backyard for generations.Ralph Stanley sings songs of sorrow and he means it; I think the scary feeling many listeners talk about comes from Stanley hitting home, a deadeye bullseye on some archetypical fears. Great fiddle playing, too.

Summary: This is your chance to get to know the Great Ralph Stanley
Comment: As a result of "O Brother Where Art Thou?", Ralph Stanley is finally reaching reknown beyond bluegrass fans. Hard core bluegrass fans have known for decades that Ralph Stanley is the premier male mountain singer....this collection will let everyone else know that Stanely is a great singer...period! This collection is a mini-retrospective of Stanley's solo work during the seventies. I'm sorry I missed these songs when they were originally issued because this is bone-chilling, hair-raising mountain singing. Every cut on this CD is a gem; the standout being "Old Richmond Prison," a paen to regret, loneliness and isolation that'll convert you for sure.

Editorial Reviews:

Ralph Stanley's half-century-long career received a nice boost late in 2000 with the release of Joel and Ethan Coen's movie O Brother, Where Art Thou? The film prominently featured three tunes from the Stanley repertoire, including the title tune of this stellar anthology (although it's not Stanley's version that's featured in the film). Another is the hillbilly lament "Oh Death," a traditional song that perfectly suits Stanley's high, wavering, mournful voice. Focusing on Stanley's post-Stanley Brothers career, this set serves as a fine introduction to his estimable body of work, including gems like "Goin' Up Home to Live in Green Pastures"--as pretty a country gospel tune as has ever been recorded--"Hard Times," and "Old Richmond Prison." It's an altogether satisfying collection that leaves the listener wanting more. --Gregory McNamee
