Just Published! Dr Ralph Stanley's Autobiography "Man of Constant Sorrow"



"Dr. Ralph Stanley’s funny, sad, gossipy behind-the-scenes autobiography, 'Man of Constant Sorrow: My Life and Times'.
This is not the man of few words you see in concert and
at merchandise tables. Here he talks at length about
his fatherless childhood, his heroic mother, his brother
Carter’s musical brilliance and fatal alcohol addiction.
He pays his respects to such legendary Clinch Mountain Boys
as George Shuffler, Roy Lee Centers and the effervescent
Curly Ray Cline. And Ralph devotes an entire chapter to
his friendship with Bill Monroe. Then there are the
harrowing and hilarious tales of the road, the accidents
and miraculous near misses. It’s a grand and glorious
summation of a musical life well lived."
