The Stanley Brothers


Ralph Stanley has been performing Bluegrass Music for over 60 years. Over 40 of those years he has done so alone, as his brother Carter Stanley passed away in 1966. Despite the onset of electrified instruments and other modern changes to Country music, he never faltered and always stayed true to his roots and his music. He became known to a whole new generation of people for his rendition of "Oh Death" in the film "Oh Brother Where Art Thou?" He is in his early 80's now and is still performing.
