Yes you don't have to born in the south to understand the Music Of Ralph Stanley. I was born in the south but moved up north. When the topic of music came up I was like ya'll probably don't listen to what I do. I was very surprised to find so many "closet" Bluegrass fans out there. A very good friend of mine has almost the entire Stanley collection of songs, many a night we sit around playing cards and listening to Ralph and Carter Stanley sing their music. Not only Ralph but other Bluegrass singers also. You need to look no further than some of the biggest names in country music that started in Bluegrass or even with Ralph (Skaggs and Whitley). Ralph sings and plays with his heart and soul in every song. Anyone that appreciates good music can clearly see that. My biggest thrill of the year is going back home for my home town's annual Bluegrass Festival which is headlined By Ralph Stanley.
