Title: Quite a letdown
Review: Frankly, I'm quite disappointed in this album. I think this recording is T-bone Burnett's version of Ralph Stanley and not Ralph's version of Ralph Stanley. I don't really know how to classify it...it is definitely NOT Bluegrass and it is surely not Old-time music...it's just downright odd and it makes me uncomfortable to listen to it. I will give Ralph credit for trying something different but you can just hear that he doesn't really know what to think of this music either. Anyway, if I want to listen to Ralph, I'll listen to some of the old Stanley Brothers stuff on King or to 'Cry From the Cross' or 'Clinch Mountain Gospel' on Rebel. As for this album, you can find my in the used bin at the local record shop.
Is the review positive or negative?
