Ralph Stanley: The Banjo Of Ralph Stanley: From Old-Time To Bluegrass (DVD)

(Homespun Music) Instructional Video with The Clinch Mountain Boys hosted by Mike Seeger

This is a delightful video from Homespun that will likely appeal to the majority of Stanley fans, regardless of whether they play the banjo or not. On the surface, it is a banjo instructional CD, but it also includes several live performances with the CMBs and a handful of duets with Ralph and Curly Ray Cline, as well as one in which Ralph plays “Wildwood Flower” with 13- to 14-year-old Ralph II.
Between songs, Mike Seeger interviews Ralph and gets him to show how his mother played the banjo, sing a verse from “Brown Girl,” and discuss four methods of clawhammer style as well as the two-finger method Ralph learned from Wade Mainer. Ralph also talks about his musical influences and how some of the pieces came about, playing some of them at a slower speed.
As with other Homespun DVDs, there are good split-screen demonstrations of Ralph's picking technique, and the DVD's picture and sound quality are excellent.
In the second half of the set (which lasts almost an hour and a half), the CMB plays half a dozen tunes without interruption, including two a cappella gospel songs, which is probably a first for a banjo recording, as well as a clawhammer medley of “I've Got A Mule To Ride,” “Rocky Island,” “Little Birdie,” and “Shout Little Luly.”
