Bill Monroe and Ralph Stanley, keeping the blues in bluegrass; that’s what. And it’s an astounding duet. These two were meant to sing and pick together.
What a relief to hear Monroe blending with a lead singer instead of shouting him down. Dr. Ralph’s break is so perfect that it doesn’t even matter when he forgets the lyrics to the third verse.
This is one of those “historic performances” that lives up to its billing: Bill Monroe and his Blue Grass Boys featuring Ralph Stanley on “Can’t You Hear Me Callin’?”
