A Mothers Prayer

For well over a decade now, Dr. Ralph Stanley has been an iconic figure in American music. With generous touches of old-time, gospel, and what is now termed "bluegrass music," Ralph has successfully created his unique brand of Americana, a sound he simply calls "Old-Time Mountain Music." This new album is classic Stanley. The incredible singing that has been the hallmark of his sound is front and center here, and the 14 featured songs are varied in their composition and rich in their texture. This is yet another masterful addition to an already impressive recording career.
