Avis sur le produitClinch Mountain Gospel by Stanley, Ralph (CD, 2001)

Great Stanley Brothers Tradition

I mainly bought this CD to get "Beautiful Star of Bethlehem." I have several renditions of that song, and this one is very good. The Stanley Brothers had a concert in my hometown many years ago when they were getting started. This CD brings back great memories.Lire l'avis complet...

Mountain Music

They call this Bluegrass; but to me it sounds more like traditional Appalachian music with a little Bluegrass on the side.

I know Ralph Stanley is a great artist; so naturally I expected this CD to be good. I've never been disappointed with any of the Stanley Brothers records I've bought, and the same goes for Ralph's recordings.

I was in for a shock when I pressed the Play button to start this CD, however.

The music was far beyond being good; or even great. It was sublimely beautiful and soul satisfying.

The band sounds fantastic, and the vocals are pure, crystalline perfection.

I can't tell you this is the best Bluegrass or Appalachian record ever made; because there's a whole lot of music out there in those styles that I haven't heard; but I will humbly state that this is the best Mountain Music recording I'VE ever heard.

Highest Recommendation.Lire l'avis complet...
