Review

No Depression (p.105) - "The same deeply moving notes of faith, redemption, sorrow, and every emotion in between are caught in Stanley's voice on these tracks, allowing him, at 79, to deliver his best vocals in a decade."

Title Note

Personnel: Ralph Stanley (vocals); Jack Cooke (vocals); James Alan Shelton, Ralph Stanley II (guitar); Steve Sparkman (banjo); Mike Seeger (autoharp); John Rigsby (mandolin, background vocals); Todd Meade (fiddle); Dennis Crouch (bass instrument).

The grand old man of bluegrass sings and picks his banjo through a baker's dozen of the first family of country music's best-known songs, including religious material like "Motherless Children," "Little Moses," and "God Gave Noah the Rainbow Sign," and simple, sentimental love songs like "I'm Thinking Tonight of My Blue Eyes." The simple arrangements of these Carter Family classics, Ralph Stanley's fragile, high lonesome voice, and his superb banjo picking give these songs a new lease of life.
