> Listen to my Hammer Ring - Ralph Jr.
Ah, that's Ralph Stanley II; nickname is Two. Anyhow, this is the title
track from Two's new solo album, and it's a fabulous song, written by the
criminally under-appreciated Aubrey Holt. With all due respect to the
Stanley family, though, the version to watch out for is on the forthcoming
Longview album, High Lonesome. The first recording of the song, by Charlie
Moore, is now available on CD on Moore's The Fiddler (Old Homestead). The
*best* recording - made by Holt's Boys From Indiana - is, alas, long out of
print.
