Description
In this rare session with one of the giants of bluegrass and old-time music, Ralph Stanley demonstrates the banjo styles and musical brilliance for which he is famous. Starting with traditional clawhammer tunes (Shout little Lulie, Little Birdie, Cripple Creek and Cuttin' the cornbread), he teaches a variety of ways to pick up and frail the banjo. Moving into his renowned three-finger bluegrass picking, he breaks down favorites Little Maggie, Dickenson County breakdown, Clinch Mountain backstep, Train 45 and Hard times. In conversations with friend and fellow musician Mike Seeger, Ralph discusses his background, influences, equipment and other topics. Included are duets and full band performances including Man of constant sorrow, How mountain girls can love, Room at the top of the stairs, Worried man blues, and more.
