By A Customer

This review is from: Stanley Brothers - 16 Greatest Gospel Hits (Audio CD)

The stanley brothers singing gospel music - is there anything better or more heart felt? Carter and Ralph's vocals blending together is truely some of the finest bluegrass music. The stanley brothers are definitely true pioneers. This one should be in everyone's collection.

This is probably one of the best purcheses I've ever made. This CD has brought me back in memory of my days in the Blue Ridge Mountain's of Virginia where I was born but left at an early age. I remember waking up in the mornings with all theses songs playing on the radio and growing up listening to all the Stanley Brothers songs, we lived in Grundy, Va, only about 20 miles from where the Stanley's were born, and went to all of their festivals at their old homestead. So you can see why these songs mean so much to me. The Stanley Brothers 16 Greatest Gospel Hits are songs that we sang in church and are songs that bring family and loved ones closer together,like sitting out on the porch at night with Mom & Dad singing all of their old hymns from this CD. I've since bought 5 other CD of theirs and have enjoyed the music and memories emencely. I recomend this CD highly, its a must to anyone that enjoys Bluegrass music....

5.0 out of 5 stars No FLUFF, just pure, "from the heart" Gospel Bluegrass, January 22, 2002

I was introduced to the Stanley brothers by hearing their song "Angel Band" on the O Bother Where Art thou? soundtrack. After doing just a little research, I quickly realized they were the real deal. Ralph and Carter Stanley have a collection here of true and pure, soulful memories that must savored time and time again. This music stirs memories of my parents and grandparents, camp meetings, week long revivals and of a simpler time.
I realize this collection will be too un-sophisticated for many who listen. But not me. I'll be buying more from these guys.
