Ralph Stanley and the Clinch Mountain
Boys will grace the stage of Caldwell
Community College and Technical
Institute's J .E. Broyhill Qvic Gaiter on
Saturday, February 27, 2010 at 7:30 pm
Ralph Stanley tours and performs with
the vigor and flair of a rock star but his
voice is from another time, not of this
century. Nor of the last one, for that
matter. Its stark emotional urgency is
rooted in a darker time, when pain was
the common coin of life and the world
offered sinful humanity no hope of
refuge. Preserved in the cultural amber
of remote Appalachia, this terse, forlorn
sound is the bedrock of Stanley’s inim¬
itable style.
Now 81 years old, Stanley has been per¬
forming professionally since he and his
older brother, Carter, formed a band in
their native southwestern Virginia in
1946. Between that date and 1966, when Carter died, the Stanley Brothers and the Qindi Mountain Boys
became one of the most celebrated bluegrass groups in the world, rivaling in popularity such titans as Bill
Monroe and Hatt & Scruggs.
After Carter’s death, Stanley shifted the band's musical emphasis from hard- driving bluegrass to an older,
sadder, less adorned mountain style. As a bandleader, he nourished such young and promising talents as
Ricky Skaggs, Keith Whitley, Larry Sparks and Charlie Sizemore, all of whom eventually graduated to dis¬
tinguished solo careers.

While he has long been revered fcy enthusiasts of folk, bluegrass and country music, Stanley has lately
been commanding the kind of honors due a musical original. In 2003, he shared with his friend J im
Lauderdale a Grammy for Best Bluegrass Album. The year before that, he won Grammys for Best Country
Male Vocalist Performance (beating out J ohnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Tim McGraw, Lyle Lovett and Ryan
Adams) and Album of the Year (for his part in the
О
Brother, Where Art Thou? collection). In 2001, he
was the subject of an admiring profile in the New Yorker, written by novelist David Gates, who traveled
with Stanley for months gathering material. He is the central figure in the D. A. Pennebaker/ Chris
Hegedus 2000 documentary, Down From The Mountain.
In J anuary, 2000, Stanley became the first artist of the new millennium to be inducted into the historic
Grand Ole Opry. He holds the Living Legend award from the Library of Congress and was the first recipi¬
ent of the Traditional American Music award from the National Endowment for the Humanities. One of
his proudest achievements is the honorary doctorate in music Lincoln Memorial University conferred on
him in 1976. In addition to all these honors, Stanley was chosen to be the closing act for the 2002 Down
