    I love ralph Stanley. I had the privilege many of years ago when he done a tour in Pennsylvania to be the one who fixed the major electrical issues he had on stage. My father grew up with him. I was the only person who was able to keep the show going. Proud yes some electrical tap and wires his performance went on. That will be a evening I'll never forget. Love you Mr. Stanley

    They are incredibly talented and will never be forgotten. Trace Adkins has a phenomenal version of Wayfairing Stranger that everyone needs to listen to. Ralph Stanley had a huge rebirth because of the Oh brother, where are thou movie ! The soundtrack sold more than 8-10 million copies. What a it was to grow up during the 1960’s . RIP Stanley Brothers.

    Amazing that even here when he was less than 100% Ralph was still the best singer of the bunch. Like he always said, it's not something you can learn, you're either born with it or not. I do like the lead singing of Ralph II. They really sounded great together. In fact I think this version may rival the original.

    Ralph Stanley 2 (in the Red) really stands out in this rendition. I love that he has such a different sound than his dad's. You can definitely tell that many of the greats that performed along side his dad have influenced his style/sound. He doesnt sound like this in every song. He has great range but I like him best when he is singing in his lower register. It sounds as if he is channeling his inner Keith Whitley when he does. I love it!

    One of mama's favorite songs. She would listen to it over and over sometimes and she absolutely loved Ralph Stanley. It's kinda hard to listen to this now but at the same time it somewhat brings me peace. Feb 1st she'll have been gone a year and boy do I ever miss her. She always knew what to do and say in bad situations. Only God knows how deep the pain is💔💔💔💔💔💔

    Being related to the Stanley family through my aunt Thelma I can remember as a young child visiting my dad's family in Clintwood Va, (actual they lived in Dante) during the Gospel meetings that Ralph and his family would always come and sing. Its were I first began to learned Bluegrass guitar.

    This was an utterly beautiful version. The young man obviously loves the song and gave an outstanding singing performance. And, actually, Ralph Stanley in the unusual role of a backup singer, was a treat and with simple humility he did this and did a marvelous job of it. A fine example of a human being and a servant of Jesus Christ, Mr. Ralph Stanley. The world has been blessed Sir. Thank you.

    Today I got a guitar signed by this legend that my uncle had before he passed. It got handed down to me from where I’m the only one that plays guitar and it’s signed by him in 2003 I’m guessing since it says it below where he signed! Never heard of him but I’ve recently listened to some of his songs and damn their pretty good!

    Seeing Ralph Stanley and Marty stuart together reminds me. As a kid. I went to a bluegrass show in a fire hall with my uncle and the two of them sang high on the mountain top together. Can't find a recording of them doing it anywhere the best performance I have ever seen. Tow of my favorite singer.

It is my faith that our father will build a new place called Heaven and that the physics and diseases that were put upon this Earth by Satan will no longer exist. My mind cannot comprehend the bliss.
