Pioneering Bluegrass musician Ralph Stanley on this edition of Fresh Air. His "high-lonesome" vocals and claw-hammer bango picking are considered cornerstones of American bluegrass music. He and his older brother, Carter, were the Stanley Brothers until Carter's death in 1966. Recently Ralph Stanley came to wider popular acclaim when his music was featured on the triple platinum soundtrack of the movie O Brother Where Art Thou?. He won two Grammys this year for his performance of "O Death" on that record. At age 75, Stanley has a just released his first solo album, a self-titled CD and continues to tour. He's recorded over 170 albums in total, and has been performing continuously since 1946. (Broadcast Date: July 15, 2002)
