About Ralph Stanley & The Clinch Mountain Boys
Ralph Stanley is a banjo player, singer, and songwriter from Dickenson County, Virginia. He has been in the music business for over 55 years, has performed on more than 170 albums, tapes, and CDs. Ralph Stanley originally performed as one half of the “Stanley Brothers” with his older guitar-playing brother, Carter Stanley. The Clinch Mountain Boys, a group of musicians drawn from Virginia, Tennessee, and Kentucky, were the Stanley Brothers’ backing band. After Carter’s death in 1966, Ralph reformed the Clinch Mountain Boys and began again to tour and record.
Ralph Stanley is known for his high, spooky tenor, and for his unique style of banjo playing, sometimes called "Stanley Style". This style evolved from the three finger Scruggs style. Stanley style is distinguished by incredibly fast "forward rolls" (a technique in banjo playing) led by the index finger, sometimes in the higher registers of his instrument utilizing the capo.
He received an Honorary Doctorate of Music from Lincoln Memorial University, and is known to his fans as Dr. Ralph Stanley. Ralph Stanley was inducted into the International Bluegrass Music Hall of Honor in 1992, was inducted into the Grand Ole Opry in 2000. He received a Grammy award in 2002, and in 2006 he received the National Medal of Arts.
