81 years young, Ralph Stanley has been performing professionally since he and his older brother, Carter, formed a band in their native southwestern Virginia in 1946. The Stanley Brothers and the Clinch Mountain Boys became one of the most celebrated bluegrass groups in the world. As a bandleader, Stanley nourished such young and promising talents as Ricky Skaggs, Keith Whitley, Larry Sparks and Charlie Sizemore. Long been revered as a master of folk, bluegrass and country music, Stanley has been honored with Grammy awards for Best Bluegrass Album, Best Country Male Vocalist Performance (beating out Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Tim McGraw, Lyle Lovett and Ryan Adams) and Album of the Year (for his part in the O Brother, Where Art Thou? collection). In 2001, he was the subject of an admiring profile in the New Yorker, and he is the central figure in the documentary, Down From The Mountain. “A master performer without an expiration date. . . .” – Rolling Stone
