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.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: New
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.Read full review
