Ralph Stanley & Friends "Man Of Constant Sorrow" Album Review

     Dr. Ralph Stanley is simply an American Treasure.  His work with the Cinch Mountain Boys resulted in some of the most timeless bluegrass music of all time.  He has helped inspire countless country music legends, such as Ricky Skaggs and Keith Whitley.  When the O Brother, Where Art Thou? Soundtrack became a national phenomenon, his song "O Death" was one of the big reasons why.  Ralph has a new album out now through Cracker Barrel.  While it doesn't pave new ground, it doesn't have to.  This is modern artists paying respect to one of the giants of country music.  Man of Constant Sorrow is a lot of fun from start to finish.
