Review

Ralph Stanley II has some big shoes to fill: his father is one of the most respected and accomplished musicians in bluegrass, and his uncle, Carter, was the lead-vocal counterpoint to the elder Ralph's mountain tenor in the legendary Stanley Brothers. Listen to My Hammer Ring shows that Stanley the younger is ably carrying on his family's legacy of traditional bluegrass. Playing rhythm guitar and singing lead vocals (Carter's old role) with his father's Clinch Mountain Boys since he was 14 years old, Ralph Stanley II looks like he's being groomed to take over the family business. The father-son duo team up on over half of the album's 12 songs, many of them (older) Stanley originals, which cover the familiar ground of lost love, faith, trains, and good-old mountain dew. --Andrew Scales
