Ralph Stanley Has Sept. 25 Date
With Clinch Mountain
Sweethearts
Still generating praise for his performances on the multiplatinum
soundtrack album, O Brother, Where Art Thou?, Ralph Stanley debuts a
new collection for Rebel Records on Sept. 25, Clinch Mountain Sweethearts.
The album features the Grand Ole Opry star and Bluegrass Hall of Honor
member in duets with 15 of the top women vocalists in country, folk and
bluegrass music.
The songs and Stanley’s duet partners are "Ridin’ That Midnight Train" and
"Trust Each Other," with Iris DeMent; "Will You Miss Me," Pam Tillis; "Little
Willie," Patty Mitchell; "Oh, Death," Gillian Welch; "Loving You Too Well,"
Dolly Parton; "The Memory Of Your Smile," Maria Muldaur; "Are You Tired Of Me,
Darling," Sara Evans; "Weeping Willow," Joan Baez; "I’ll Never Grow Tired Of
You," Kristi Stanley; "Rank Stranger," Gail Davies; "Angel Band," Chely
Wright; "You Win Again," Melba Montgomery; "I’m Ready To Go," Jeannie Seely;
"Farther Along," Lucinda Williams; and "I’ll Remember You Love In My Prayers,"
Valerie Smith.
Stanley’s producer on Clinch Mountain Sweethearts is Bil VornDick,
who also produced the bluegrass patriarch’s prize-winning Clinch Mountain
Country (Rebel Records).
In April, Stanley earned a standing ovation at Carnegie Hall where he
performed with other musicians from the O Brother soundtrack. This
year, major articles on Stanley and his Appalachian-steeped music have
appeared in the New York Times, Spin, Rolling Stone, Oxford
America, and most recently in The New Yorker, an extensive profile
on Stanley by novelist and Newsweek music critic David Gates.
