Ralph Edmund Stanley (February 25, 1927 – June 23, 2016
As I often do, I discovered this song, accidentally, while browsing through the Bluegrass music on YouTube. Once I heard it, however, I found myself hitting the replay button over and over again. This is a incredible piece, both musically and lyrically. I just had to learn it.
This is a great gospel number to add to your Gospel repertoire as it is not that complicated but is a perfect harmony song, especially if you happen to have a good base singer in your fold.
Here is the Ralph Stanly version of this tune, which I like best. Check it out. It’s well worth learning.
