Best traditional singing band ever. No matter who were the sidemen. Always understood singing was what this music is about. Ralph carried on well, but no one matched Carter.
Today I am looking at program American Pickers and they were talking to an old man who had a bord of Ralph Stanley, so I took my Phone and go on TH-cam, and I found Ralph Stanley and brother and the Band. And I love those old songs. It don't matter I live in Holland, Rotterdam. But music have no face. I love this music and I also love western music. Bless you all.
Awesome! I'm glad you found the Stanley Brothers! Here in The United States, our Stanley Brothers are considered sacred and very very special! And they were wholesome and Christian men, who really lived GOD and singing about The LORD to uplift people around the world! There's really not anything else quite like Carter and Ralph Stanley!!! VERY VERY VERY talented and VERY humble too! They are missed... So, welcome to our family of music! Enjoy! I find that the more I listen to the Stanley Brothers over any other music the better of a person I am and the better I handle life and the better I treat people and think of myself and everything just seems more peaceful and seems more right and less wrong when I listen to a lot of these brother's music! 👍🏼✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼🙂
Look at how Ralph was just going at It on the banjo, unmistakable style. And let's talk about Carter....some an amazing musician... I hope everyone who watches this realized how good a pair they were. Just legends.
CARTER was one cool customer. Called the “Appalachian savant” by Tom T Hall, who also averred that CARTER was in the same category as an artist and songwriter as Hank Williams.
REALLY??? Carry is my favorite artist of all time!!! Stanley Brothers would be the one band is choose if I could only have one for the rest of my life in earth! I don't really know a lot about him other than his music and one interview I heard one time on an airplane but anything you know feel free to fill me in I'd love to hear about it it's very interesting that you said that but what do you mean by Appalachian savant like I know a savant is someone who's just sort of naturally talented and just wholely encompasses an art form of some sort like piano or something without really having to try at it usually autistic savant is what people are generally talking about but I know that savant is also sometimes used as a sort of slang term for someone who just is naturally talented but doesn't necessarily have to be autistic lol! But for real fill me in please!!!! 😊👍🏼✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼😁🙃😀
@@negotiator96 Yes, T meant “unusually talented” especially coming from the hills. I’m too young to have known Carter but Ralph was one of my best friends for decades. Sounds like you’re bitten by the Stanley bug. Same here. Have fun.
@@CAROLUSPRIMAwow!! That's really cool! I wish Carter would have lived much longer! But he more than managed to secure his legend and they thankfully were about it! When it came to writing originals and recording songs from other artists and standards and traditionals... So, luckily there is plenty of Carter and Ralph especially to listen to! Thank GOD for letting all of us have them for the times we do! 👍🏼✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼🙂
I started picking in 1965 and I've seen so many truly great musicians cross over. It saddens me to no end. The kids now coming up through the ranks are mindblowing technitions but the soul of bluegrass lies at the headstones of Ralph and Carter, Bill Monroe, Charlie Waller, Doc Watson, Kenny Baker, Buck Graves, Lester and Earl, and so many more. A far cry from some clown with a pointed black tongue or a chick hanging naked from a wrecking ball. It's just not the same world.
Very well said Dusty killer n .no heart in the so called so-called music nowadays. I m not sure it there ever we I'll again. . this grbersyoo hasn't said clue if then eating ot feeling behind the wonder to il .I was blessed enough to seevraph sing in person few feet away. . I couldn't put into words on what it meant to me to watch listen .....a true honor. here. .
Ralph is my favorite banjo player.He got most of his fame from his voice but I love his pickin.His style , timing,and tone were truly excellent.Love Scruggs too and others,but there was just something special about the Ralph Stanley sound.Rip.
The fact that banjo players of that era started out playing it one way (clawhammer) and then had to switch to another way is impressive, especially the way people like Stanley were able to master the finger roll way of playing.
Mike years ago I saw Ralph play and he mentioned he was at WCYB radio in Bristol when Don Reno talked Earl Scruggs into trading banjos. Three of the banjo greats in the same studio! I think Ralph said it was 1948.
Born in '64, raised on a little pop country and rock...But this old Blue Grass is just beyond anything. My brother has a big collection of Classic Blue Grass..I am seeing the Light (Bought a Beckie Buller C.D.)
My man shared this on Facebook this morning in honor of Valentine's Day, and did he ever pick a good'un! One of the finest bluegrass love songs ever written.
😊👍🏼✌🏼☺️. Go check out their song Pretty Little Miss Out In The Garden! My wife loves that song since i played it for her!.... 👍🏼✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼 Pretty little miss out in the garden Strange young man come riding by Down at the gate he did address her Saying pretty little miss won't you marry me No kind sir, I have a love on the ocean Seven years gone, sailing on the sea And if he sails seven years longer No man on earth can marry me What if he's drowned out on the ocean Or lying dead in a battle land What if he's found some other girl to marry You'll never see your love again If he is drownded I hope he's happy Or lying dead in a battle land Or if he's found some other girl to marry I'll love that girl who marries him He took his hand out of of his pocket His fingers being both keen and small This is the ring you placed upon him And at his feet she did fall He picked her up in his arms so tender Kisses he gave her one, two, three This is your love, some say a sailor Returning home for to marry thee
so sad the original duo couldn't have lasted longer!! It's a crying shame how not a lot of people know their contributions to bluegrass! I say they're the grandfathers of the authentic mountain sound
Been to the Ralph Stanley hills of home bluegrass festival two years now and it's a great festival my mom and dad have been going for 20 years one of the best music festivals you will see Ralph Stanley is the granddaddy of bluegrass music he's the absolute best in my opinion!!!
I been there and done that 3 different times. The last being in Mansfield, Ohio at the Renaissance Theater. I just wish Carter would have been there playing!
People knock archtop banjos all the time, but this one sounds great. True they are more at risk of sounding too bright, but hook one up right with the proper head tension and it sounds just as good as any banjo.

Dr. Stanley knew how music should sound and still does. One of the greatest ever.

Please listen to billy strings is you havent
I love the stanley brothers voices. it was so amazing
Ralph can flat burn that Banger up! I love this song.
Poor Carter was obviously not well here. A true pioneer and genius... God bless the Stanley Brothers
What was wrong with Carter there?
This was just a few months before Carter passed away. He was slowly dying. RIP he was one of the greatest singer/songwriters of any genre of music.
HE HAD MOUNTAIN DEW DISEASE JUST COULD'NT STAY AWAY FROM 140 PROOF .@@susankruse9796
SAME THING WRONG WITH ME....I JUST GOT TO AVOID IT THAT'S ALL@antoinebrosseau
Yeah. I caught that, too
I Can't wait to land in Glory and hear them playing in the background. Lord be Praised.
Praise be his name!
The Angel Band!
Ralph is my favorite banjo player.He got most of his fame from his voice but I love his pickin.His style , timing,and tone were truly excellent.Love Scruggs too and others,but there was just something special about the Ralph Stanley sound.Rip.
He was soooo on the money Mike. Quick as lightning but never out of time.
Well said
Even when he solo'd he is amazing.

Agreed, his sound is unbeatable for that era.

Just discovered the Stanley Brothers.

Brings back memories of my brother Frank muncy miss him.
He loved to listen to the Stanley Brothers.
One of a kind! A treasure for all of us.

Pretty little miss out in the garden
Strange young man come riding by
Down at the gate he did address her
Saying pretty little miss won't you marry me
No kind sir, I have a love on the ocean
Seven years gone, sailing on the sea
And if he sails seven years longer
No man on earth can marry me
What if he's drowned out on the ocean
Or lying dead in a battle land
What if he's found some other girl to marry
You'll never see your love again
If he is drownded I hope he's happy
Or lying dead in a battle land
Or if he's found some other girl to marry
I'll love that girl who marries him
He took his hand out of of his pocket
His fingers being both keen and small
This is the ring you placed upon him
And at his feet she did fall
He picked her up in his arms so tender
Kisses he gave her one, two, three
This is your love, some say a sailor
Returning home for to marry thee
so sad the original duo couldn't have lasted longer!! It's a crying shame how not a lot of people know their contributions to bluegrass! I say they're the grandfathers of the authentic mountain sound

Reminds me of sittin in the kitchen with my mother on a saturday night with the radio on.
This music saved me from rock and roll in the 70's
Blue grass music is my favorite and these guys are some of the best.
Now that's what I call down home country music.
Love those Stanleys.
Why thank yah kindly...every male member of our family can pick n sing..😉just a weird fun fact.
RIP Ralph.
RIP Carter
Rip Ralph&Carter
Fantastic singing and playing...
Beautiful singing.
This is amazing!!!
can you imagine just sittin five feet in front of them. incredible
I been there and done that 3 different times. The last being in Mansfield, Ohio at the Renaissance Theater. I just wish Carter would have been there playing!
I had many an opportunity to sit next to Ralph in his later years. Trust me, he was a natural born singer.
@@jeremybarnett8692chick stripliñg uncle Ned and Texans
How those good old boys could play! Hoot!
When music was true, sung and played with pure talent. A different time
how on earth does the banjo player keep up that pace? this music is amazing!
I mean, it's Ralph Stanley.
@@josephchampagne9134 He played faster than most people can think!
Moonshine and black coffee.
3 finger rolls
Nice 👌
Hi ! love it ❤️❤️❤️
Amazing
See those peeps on the structural framing benches? Where im from that's how folks dance. 😂
Best of Blue grass
ブルーグラスの音楽がすきだよ。
でも、日本じゃあテレビやラジオじゃあ流れないよ。
好きな人も絶滅危惧種だよ。
半世紀近くたってTH-camで好きな時に好きなだけ見たりきいたりできるようになったよ。
動画のアップありがとさんです。
感謝、感謝です。
happy new year
Ralph was gokd and he knew it. Lol a little cocky o this number ❤
2 dislikes,really?,wow, trolls really do have no souls..............
jeff jeeves it is now up to 9 disfigured souls :(
Well they couldve accidentally pressed it while wanting to share this classic
They didn't pay the troll toll.
Thats how its done
Waooooo❤❤❤❤😮😢😮😢😮😊😊😊❤
People knock archtop banjos all the time, but this one sounds great. True they are more at risk of sounding too bright, but hook one up right with the proper head tension and it sounds just as good as any banjo.
The bright sound is why many, including Ralph Stanley and myself prefer archtop banjos
It aint gonna be any better ;)
This kind of makes me believe that this video was filmed at "The Richmond Barn Dance show" on Broad street.
Ralph is cute as a button!
Mountain dew a flowing blue grass
Professional
Who's that fiddle player? I think I played with him at a jam in the mid 80's...
Don Miller, accompanied the boys on their 66 European trip
@@RTRDick I wonder if he ever lived in Florida?
