Man of Constant Sorrow
A giant of American music opens the book on his wrenching professional and personal journeys, paying tribute to the vanishing Appalachian culture that gave him his voice. He was there at the beginning of bluegrass. Yet his music, forged in the remote hills and hollows of Southwest Virginia, has even deeper roots. In Man of Constant Sorrow, Dr. Ralph Stanley gives a surprisingly candid look back on his long and incredible career as the patriarch of old-time mountain music. Marked by Dr. Ralph Stanley?s banjo picking, his brother Carter?s guitar playing, and their haunting and distinctive harmonies, the Stanley Brothers began their career in 1946 and blessed the world of bluegrass with hundreds of classic songs, including ?White Dove,? ?Rank Stranger,? and what has become Dr. Ralph?s signature song, ?Man of Constant Sorrow.? Carter died in 1966 after years of alcohol abuse, but Dr. Ralph Stanley carried on and is still at the top of his game, playing to audiences across the country today at age eighty-one. Rarely giving interviews, he now grants fans the book they have been waiting for, filled with frank recollections, from his boyhood of dire poverty in the Appalachian coalfields to his early musical success with his brother, to years of hard traveling on the road with the Clinch Mountain Boys, to the recent, jubilant revival of a sound he helped create. The story of how a musical art now popular around the world was crafted by two brothers from a dying mountain culture, Man of Constant Sorrow captures a life harmonized with equal measures of tragedy and triumph.

In his book 'In His Own Words: The Unpublished Recollections of the Kennedy Years, Robert Kennedy said ",There are those who look at things the way they are, and ask why... I dream of things that never were, and ask why not?. It was about desegregation. Poetry is said to be the basic human expression. I remember the a song and album from the second iteration of the Kingston Trio called "The New Frontier." Kingston Trio second iteration included John Stewart and Glen Campbell. These guys were all over the media back then. They were a great benchmark for me and associates as we matured. Their music was more than just leivity of earlier TV. The later ones quantified urban folk music for me back then. Folk music is also common among rural people. Both areas are the venues I enjoyed playing to as a creator and player of folk rock, folk country songs and instrumentals.
